I got the idea for this animation from this sort of half-awake, half-asleep dream I had involving a penguin wearing a really, really bad peacock costume. I wondered why a penguin would ever need to do that, and ... things went from there.
The storyboards look like this. (Click for full size)
In case anybody was curious, the notes I scribbled in the margins are for the modeler and rigger I'm collaborating with HEY EVAN YOU'RE AWESOME. (I have since added that one more scene.)
The penguin is here in greater detail.
He was actually a much more sympathetic character in the first draft of the story, but it was a lot harder to get to some kind of resolution. After unsuccessfully bouncing ideas off other people for MOOONTHS, it actually became much easier to put a story together if the penguin was more of a flakey sort of guy.
And of course, the poor peahen.
That last color shot is just an idea for now and probably will not be her final colors.
Yaaaay!
