woah...s'been over a month since my last post. And i can't say i've been particularly busy or anything. Just been in an artist's rut lately where i aim to do lots, but run out of momentum when i put pen to paper. Been sitting on a few semi-finished character sketches, so thought i'd gather em together and make a post out of it. Maybe it'll inspire me to do more.
starting to get the hang of this animation biz. its supposed to link onto the end of the previous one. think the actions flow more smoothly in this one. and i realised that you cannot take shortcuts if you want the clip to look good.....well, better.
it was pretty cool working on this its not that its particularly hard, or any different to what i usually draw in terms of what i put down on paper, but the process is very long and really tests your patience.
I've always loved animation and admire those in the field, but actually doing it gave me a new level of respect for animators.
just watched animatrix, and World Record has got to be one of the finest animes ever. And to pack so much energy in such a short time just makes it all the more impressive. So i did a piece based on it....hope i did it justice.
Another vid!!! I find that recording the process spurs you on to finish the piece, which means less procrastination. So i'll definitely be doing more. This one took around 1 hour (getting there), but the quality and details in the piece aren't quite up to scratch. More to learn, clearly. Don't really know too much about the character (hence the costume isn't quite right), but love the look of him.
really enjoying creating these types of digi-paintings at the moment...and continiously trying to streamline the process - rather than going over the same areas again and again - just adds to the challenge.
