Current Update

For some time now I have not been updating my blog a lot. Personally because I am still trying to get my main project of Bath Time Trouble finished as soon as possible but it has been really difficult finding colour artists locally and through the Internet. Fortunately I have come across someone who can colour in shots for me which is good, then I clean up any editing along the way.

Here is a progress video's of this Shell & Paddy Project:

This is just a preview with sound.

I am quite ill at the current stage, suffering from Tonsillitis and it has and is not being kind to me when trying to eat and work :(

Shell & Paddy: Bath Time-Trouble, (Opening credits)

Joe Hill and myself have come together with a brief view of the opening credits. We still need to include the colour artist and I may have found one.

pixel test 1

Here is a test of the Pixel monsters for the "Monster GbR" for Lars Petersen. made all the movements in Photoshop then imported them onto flash. I believe I can do this with toon boom pretty soon.

Pixel Monsters: Ugly Transformation

 Here are the ugly transformations of the cute monsters. As explained in the previous post about the "Pixel Monsters" each cute monster will turn into one of these ( each has its own form) and will scare off the other-

p.s. finally got my images posted on this thing. Why must it only work on Google Chrome

Pixel Monsters

Monster Project, Freelance Work

I was looking on the toon boom job site when I saw someone looking for a 2D artist. his name is Lars Petersen. He offered me a job in creating sprite animations using a combination of toon boom and photoshop. From my art style he liked the strange animals based around the world of Shell and Paddy. Bizarre animals led towards a freelance work. I thus will be animating each of these 10 cute animals that will suddenly turn into a hideous monster:

This art work is an old one back in 2010 where i drew a cute fluffy animal suddenly turns into a grotesque monster. This is what my contact has asked me to do, each cute monster will turn into something like this. He wants it for an iPad.

The best part is I can get paid just by animating monsters from my own art style.

This is a test of what my contact wants me to do. Slightly reminds me of the Pokemon battles, except that when cute monster turns into horrible monstrosity, the opposing monster runs away.

 

Looking forward to the Holidays

Been doing some more drawings during my work on the shell and paddy project. Here is one where I randomly drew four vegetables. You may recognise the potato from my 11 second club animatied video

So I drew a positive tomato, a nervous potato, a wacky cauliflower and a negative carrot.

 

You'll also be happy to note that the rough animation of the episode "bath-time trouble" of shell and paddy is NEARLY COMPLETE! Were are almost done animating and and soon will enter in the voices, looking for sound effects, maybe from the music guy I found.

 

And, to wish you all happy holidays as its soon Christmas...sorry I mean Decemberween!
