This is a very basic design for Guan Yu's horse he is often depicted as riding a horse into battle, one of his main claims to fame is when he rode through thousands of warriors to kill one man. As such I thought it would be key for him to have one.
This is a basic concept for Guan Yu himself. He is shown wearing green robes and having a pole arm a tall as himself. As well as an impressive beard, the one drawn here is not impressive.
A very very basic set of thumbnail sketches showing roughly were I want to take my animation.
A more detailed drawing of Guan Yu. This is what I will base my main character on.
These thumbnail sketches show the start of my animation where I just wanted to have clashes as apposed to swords straight away.
These are some more thumbnail sketches where I went back and made the start make more sense to me.
This is where I was looking at Han dynasty warriors and seeing how they would look in the animation (Guan Yu is from the Han dynasty).
