Brush With Death

Animation In-Game and South Park

Unfortunately I couldn't find the actual animation I saw in the game, but this trailer has elements of it in it.

 I liked the style and thought I'd post it here.

I'm kinda addicted to this game at the moment.


Also I watched a South Park episode which I found funny because it had the boys creating a Christmas animation in the cut out style, and showed how boring it can be creating each individual frame.
Again couldn't find a good clip of it but the episode it called 'A Very Crappy Christmas'



.....You can really tell I'm hard at work can't you........ -cough-.....

Portrait WIP Animation

I wanted to do this for a while, but I keep forgetting untill I do too much detail and can't really show each stage anymore.

This is is a quick one though

I like work in progress shots, it's fun to watch.

Word of the Week

Each week 3 of us give each other a different word to do, this being the first one so far.
My word was Hawk.
So....

...Tadah!!

Portrait a Day blog.

Seeing as I have more than 2 people following me now, I feel this is more useful to post this now.

I have a second blog, as a project/ challenge to myself.
The explanation of what it is and why I'm doing it is on the blog, so if you feel like following, here it is:

Week 2

Nothing much to update really.
I have posted all the things i did within lessons as we did them.
We did have another lesson on Cinema 4D where we learnt about camera movements and lighting, however I don't have the thing i saved on me, so I'll either find it, or just redo one and post it up here.

Other than that I've just been putting detail on my base assets.
The only thing I haven't properly worked out yet is what I'm doing the background style in.
But that wont take long to decide.

Oh, also i need to put my timetable thing up here.... sometime.....

Base Walk Cycle

Finally got round to scanning this is to test it.
I think I need one more at the end and it'll be fine.

All I need to do now is to trace/ print the base and draw each of the characters designs over the top.
I can probably use this for every time they walk, even though they don't always walk at this angle.... photoshop is a wonderful thing.
















Ignore the fact that the size of the drawings change each time..... I'll photoshop that too.

Also decided to test Zane making the bow.... I think it works......
Not the smoothest of things but good enough.

























(Also yes, I am posting this at 2am; apparently doing work during the day time is like, impossible for me.)
