Exploring My Chosen Animation Style

In order to get a better idea of what my final animation will look like in terms of visual language, I decided to use Illustrator to mock up a few assets to help inform the production of my animatic;

I stayed with my original theme of plain 2D shapes made more interesting using gradients and drop shadowing to make them stand out as 2D shapes in a 3D space. Overall I think it works well visually but I need to slightly simplify the colours or shift them towards a more pastel scheme.
