Concepts & Background Ideas.

Working mostly on Concepts at the moment, both of characters and backgrounds, establishing the style I wish to achieve.

After Crit from a tutor, I have decided to make my work much more detail, adding small bits of detail to make the backgrounds more interesting to look at. So far I am pleased with the characters, I am going to focus more of colour schemes and detail using various brushes/pens both digitally and traditionally.

3rd year project!

Start of the the third year, my project is based on my second year project 'The Underground Circus'. All of the characters have undergone a redesign, as have the backgrounds. I've begun incorporating a slight Mary Blair style of design to my work.

I've also been working on another project, providing concept art based on the Norse Mythology of Loki's children, Hel, Fenrir and Jörmungandr. This is them as children;

Red or Dead

So some animated backgrounds for the Red or Dead project, using the Red or Dead prints.


The Prince Sequence too for the final animation done in silhouettes;

Suzie Pea final

I'm currently working on the Third year project, Suzie Pea.
I've just finished the sequence I was working on, after critique, I've changed and tweaked a few issues. The background has had to be removed under instruction. Here's the finished product:

Boat Scene YesYesNo

Boat Scene (half finished) for our YesYesNo project.

Muchos Animation!

A completly delayed animation blog, however I've been pottering on with animation work. A few of the Yes Yes No scenes are now completed, hurrah! They're posted below. I've also been working on the 3rd year project Suzie Pea In which I created puppets, backgrounds and props for the characters. I've just started animation in which I've finished the primary animation for that, I am just awaiting a few more components just to polish it.

Yes Yes No Bar Scene - Opening shot.(Pirate animated by Luke, then compiled together)
Yes Yes No - "Ooh Yes!" Betty Scene (Pirate by Luke again) Frightened Man Scene

I'm really enjoying using Flash, I'm currently working on one of the ending sequences which should be finished soon. The Suzie Pea scene I created is the Dolphin Scene. It's a bit laggy and needs tweaking. I also am awaiting eyes/mouths for the chracters however here's what I've completed so far;




Hurrah!

Easter update!

Hurrah! It's Easter! I've been working on the backgrounds for the Red or Dead brief we've been issued. I decided it would be much easier to recycle a few of the backgrounds for our project for various scenes.

The Palace (the bike race & the Prince's return/the Indian's escape)

The Princess' balcony.

The Palace

The Wedding Scene 

(kept simple as the characters will become silhouette puppets at this point)

I'm going to keep working on them, smarten them up a bit etc.

I've also been working on the Yes,Yes,No project, animating scenes. Work still in progress, hopefully a render out soon!
