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!

Random drawings during Tuesday Lectures

After watching much Adventure Time and finding someone else in my course liked it a lot, i figured of drawing myself again, but with more facial features.

 

Here is an old idea for a shell & paddy episode. I may have written this in a list already but not sure. This one is based on the "whack yer mole or weasel" game.

Paddy Sleeping, and Shell decides to annoy him, with something hot and fiery

Rough Story idea (Shell &Paddy)

Thought up of another episode idea for Shell & Paddy. This one features Shell going up a tall rocky slope, (he will pull the top down for exaggerated law of gravity defiance) and pummels Paddy with rocks. Wear a helmet Paddy or should I say from the nearest animal you can grasp one from.

These two images above are what would be a bizzare animal, stuck to the rock with a helmet upon its head. See how the body becomes stretchy it becomes when you remove its helmet.

 

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)
