Rat Race characters

Both being predominantly 3D FVX artists not specialising in animation Calum and I decided to go for 2D rotoscoped charcters taking inspiration from films such as Scanner Darkly or Waltz with Bashir. We hoped these 2D rotoscope charcters would fit the aesthetic of the film we were creating.

As we planned to have alot of crowded scenes we planed to keep the background/midground characters fairly low detail, saving the higher detail shots for the protagonists close up. Here are some tests that I did.
