Cluey (comedy, 2D interactive animation)

I'm currently working on a short collaborative film as a visual development artist. the story is about a sloppy security guard let his pet, a hedgehog, to guard the nuclear base. The hedgehog tried hard to be responsible, yet his too clumsy and finally blew up the whole plant. 

In the stage of story development, I'm doing free concept drawings for director to convey her idea to the crew, as well as promote this film and call out more people join this project.

Inspiration & Development
the story takes place in a security room of a nuclear plant. The structure of the room is quite small and simple, with some control panels and monitors. a lot of buttons are in the panel, the big red button plays the main role, which is what the hedgehog guards. It is also the one can blow up the the plant.

(below) some photo references for the room and the nuclear plant:
Developing the look of the film:
The style reference is from some Nickelodeon TV animations. I studied their bright color and dynamic shapes, especially the loose feeling.  
Although I'm not the character designer of this film, I also did some doodles for the main character, the hedgehog.
