Original Character Work



Nigel Franklin


I've done this for a few of my characters now, where I draw them in these 2 styles. Mainly because I can't draw full body shots very well so I turn them chibi so I can design the outfits.

Nigel is from a story I am working on, and have been working on for about 3 years.
I might post some of the writing I've done for it here soon (maybe even tomorrow) but I'm not sure. I may check to see if I have any scenes just to show a bit of Nigel's personality.

Monday Update

Nothing much to report

But I do have a few little things I can draw on commission. Mainly just my mothers friends trying to throw me some work, which I'm happy to take on.

Still working on the Growl MV as well. Done 44 seconds and 270 drawings.

Commision Practice

I have been commissioned to draw some things, I decided to start with a bunny because it's something I've not done before (not properly at least)

So this was actually just a practice piece before I do it for real.

Took 2 hours and actually ended up liking it quite a lot.
I will be doing it bigger, but first will practice it using chalks.

Monday Update

So I have been posting like promised, but you may of noticed only on certain days.
That's just because I haven't got things for the other days, but because I thought filling your inboxes up everyday with posts may be a bit much, so I've decided to add a weekly plan as well; as in every other week will be a different set of daily posts.

Week 1:
Tuesday, Friday, Saturday

Week 2:
Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday

And Monday updates will be both weeks.
I think this evens things out a bit more and if I do want to stick by it each week I wont have to draw constantly to match it.
So Week 1 are the sketches while week 2 is more my own proper projects.

In other news I have started a new animation.
It's nothing special and not original. I decided to rotoscope a Music Video again, like my Big Bang one.

It's EXO's new 'Growl' MV.
The main differences is that I'm doing it digitally. I made some calculations, and because I'm doing the FULL MV, and not just half and not mainly frames, it'd mean I'd have to use over 1000 pieces of paper, and while I can use my student load money to pay for that, I'm not really up to using that much paper.
Plus the obvious fact it's just easier to do it digitally.
And while I'm doing more frames a second than last time, it's still not EVERY frame so I wont be completely dead afterwards.

I expect this'll take me 1 or 2 months to complete.
I'm still very excited about it, even with having drawn 50 frames and only being 6 seconds into it (out of 204 seconds).
