Monsters are Coming!

Howdy folks! Remember my cute Monster art? Well the client wants to take it to the next stage for his mobile game:

Here is an example of the screen image for this monster game. Starts off being cute (left) then turns monstrous (right). There will be a total of eight monsters. The game is to compete with other monsters and to terrify them first so roars and screams are being looked at right now.

Here below are the eight monsters:

Movie Stills for the next Shell & Paddy

 Please be patient for this next upcoming cartoon episode

Shell & Paddy: bath-time trouble episode animated roughs

Getting a start on the Shell & Paddy episode of "bath-time trouble" I made two animated roughs to get myself started. And I am glad they work and I have the main character animation. (Any comments would be apriciated) I can get started on doing other roughs or see if possible I can ask others from the BA course here in bournemouth to help, but woth my MA program and I dont exactly know how free are the other students...might as well see.

Benn talking to Joseph Hill last night who is still improving on the backgrounds and will help me develop roughs as well through Drop Box. Good system too.

Here are the videos:

Here we have Paddy being introduced in this shot as he spots Shell and sneaks off scren towards our little hero.

This one is when Shell reacts to Paddy's surprise. The gag here is that as he is having a shower, he covers himself up with a leaf like a towel. Wouldn't you quickly grab the nearest thing and cover yourself up if someone was to surprise you while you were bathing. (It was Joe's Idea)

Project Deep: Making a start on the animating

I asked Derek Hayes for some feedback of the project and grateful enough to get a start on some rough animating

 

This is of the main character, featuring in a black and white, silent cartoon scene.

Example of coloured work, Shell & Paddy,

I am giving whoever is watching my blog, a quick look at how the animated short, "Shell & Paddy" will appear presented



Be Advised; the rough animatic sounds are still in there

Also to note that we officially have a guy for the music, his name is Mike Chamberlain mwchamberlain@me.com

rought animations of scenes 1 and 2

Negotiation project 2011

Here it is, its still a working progress because its a mix of 2d rough animation and my animatic but thats what makes it goo, because you know whats the timing like and where the action is. I enjoy making this and would actually, given a longer deadline, make a full, clean animation. It was better to start off making the animatic first and then the background layouts, organisation is needed. I normally worked on whole scenes together, i should have started off with working on one scene at a time, i only did that afterwards. I prefer working on the software of toon boom and discovered a few tricks that i can use again for next year.

Negotiation Project, Animatic

Insect ball animation

Something i am still doing on Animate Pro, working progress for maybe my third year project in the future. I like the bouncing part at the begining, reminds me when i started animating a ball in my first year.
