Every so often when the mood hits and work is slow, i get a chance be personally creative and make a small animation short. This is one I did the other day in a bit of spare time...
And heres an old one from Valentines day about 2 years back.

Someone pointed out death is kinda prominent in my shorts... which then made it occur to me that in everything i've made including all my college films someone dies. It wasn't my intention but there it is....bit morbid i know....anyway HAVE A NICE DAY!

Showreel 2015
We finally got a show reel together with the best of work from the past four years...technically this is a post concerning work rather then any personal stuff BUT i'm just so damn proud!

Work sketches #2
I should write a disclaimer for the irregularity of this blog.
Time for some work sketches! Again many of which is my ever ending struggle to draw ladies and find a style i'm happy with....forever searching.
Lily Cole as seen in the imaginarium of doctor parnassus...or at least an attept to try out a style on her

This is just a twisted imaging on if babies were like cuckoos

Something a little more comic book or graphic style, (I removed her mannish upper half)
This is a sketch i just really like the look of when it was done
It also gave me an opportunity to try out some new software i got a trail for, It seems to be what a lot of digital speed painters are using and on a first go with it i gotta say i like it, Autodesk Sketchbook! only €80. Im not entirely sold on it but i've got a project coming up that should test it limits and if its a goer then i'll seriously consider moving from trail to official.
So lets go through it!
 |
| Quick trace over original image with pencil tool |
 |
| Remove original sketch layer leaving only digital sketch |
 |
| Blocking in the colour |
 |
| Adding first shading and highlighting |
 |
| Cleaning up the shade |
 |
| Merged original shade layer with blur to clean layer to give more distinction...tho accidentally made her a little to orange |
