The idea for this gif came from the fox characters I began drawing in the first week. All my gifs so far have followed this sleepy atmosphere, so I thought having this fox sleeping would be a good way to tie all three of them together. In this one however I want to create this sense of being surrounded by warmth and comfort when sleeping, so I thought of the fox being snuggled into some leaves.
I tried the fox in paper but I didn't think that this gave me the kind of warm, snuggly feeling that I wanted for the gif. Also for a 3D gif it was not three dimensional enough...
So to get some ideas for what I could use to create 3D characters I went to this art shop in town - Fred Aldous. There I really fell in love with the idea of using felt as I thought that it could work really well to create this sense of warmth and comfort. After making the fox above I think that it has provided me with exactly what I wanted - this sense of being really comfortable and snuggled in when sleeping. I also really like the autumnal effect of the leaves - like the fox is hibernating or something.
