Layout is FINISHED

One down, 5 more classes to go. I did end up liking what I drew for my final two layout assignments although the paintings did not go too well. I will work on those more in the summer and hopefully come up with better ones. I find painting layouts a difficult thing to do, especially when it's in grayscale. All I need is more practise, and with all the free time I'm going to have this summer, I will get it. Here's the line art though. Enjoy

The first is my castle scene. This one took longer because of all the perspective and details. The castle alone took me about 5 hours but I think my idea came across well. It was funny to look through the process. The first thumbnail of this was a castle on some mountain in the middle of the ocean, that turned into a castle in a mountainous area with an army heading to destroy the dragon who took over. And this is the end result. At least I was consistent with the castle

The second is my tree house scene, this didn't change much from the original idea. The only problems I had with it were deciding what the treehouses would look like. Once that was figured out, the rest went along quickly. Good practise from the tree pan.

He moves!

My scarecrow, animated through flash. It's so exciting to see him move, although I would still like to animate him traditionally. Soundtrack courtesy of Space Balls, the movie. Enjoy.

Scarecrow Completed

And it's done. Here's the complete version of my maquette, cornfield and all. Enjoy :)

At first it was just the scarecrow.





And then the Cornfield was added.





And then the colour.







Time for a close up.

Bringing Back the Oldies

So Sam and Steph reminded me of a painting today. One that I did in Art Fundamentals that I'm pretty proud of and would like to share with everyone here. It's a self portrait that we had to paint using three methods or theories that we learned in our colour theory class. I chose a triatic colour choice, primary colours, and chiaroscuro.

I really like how well it turned out. Throughout the years I've been trying to get a good grasp of chiaroscuro because one of my favourite artists, and influences, is Caravaggio. If you haven't heard of him, it will be worth your while to look up some of his works. Amazing.

I should probably add that this was painted traditionally with acrylic on paper.

The challenge

Clown done for the Halloween Challenge for school. I did the coloured one first then decided to see what it would look like in Black and White also.

Head and Hand

This was an assignment done for my digital class. The painting is supposed to have a head and a hand showing a single emotion. My emotion was sadness. I feel like I succeeded at showing the emotion but it looks like the sadness is there due to a very bad toothache. This is probably one of my fastest paintings as well. Done in about 2 and a half hours.

Character Design - early stages

So I decided to post the early stages of my character design. Nothing is finalized yet, but I'm liking where it's heading. I'm probably going to push further towards the one on the right. Opinions?
