3/30/14 - Errybody On Tha Floor

Though the shot's turned for artsy reasons. But yes, that's the floor she's hitting.

3/29/14 - Crazy Hall

Remember that hall shot from way back? It's going to be animated! Should be cool to see when it's all done.

Technically 3/28/14 - Whoops

Completely forgot to post this yesterday! Will post today stuff later today.

3/27/14 - Oh

Still deciding on how to shade this, since it might clash with the rest of the film (which is not shaded). We'll see.

3/26/14 - In The Light!

Blocking + some detail on one of the few backgrounds that isn't completely shrouded in darkness. I keep using 1-point perspective on my backgrounds, but I like how it directs the eye in a certain direction so I'll keep using it where appropriate.

3/25/14 - Too Cool For School


Did this one real quick. Lots of animating today but it's all on paper and too rough to show any good stills, but it loosened me up enough for a drawing like this.

3/24/14 - Down you go

Shot I did today. With bonus makeshift grid! I'm not actually gonna use it after all, since this is going to have a camera move on it, but it's useful for framing.

Still more to do here but the movement's looking nice.

3/23/14 - PART TWO: More rough animation!

As promised, a second thing for today (and as it so happens, I did start this yesterday!) Some super rough stuff, but the movement's pretty final.

3/23/14 - Everyone Does Laundry (Hopefully)

Gonna be entirely honest: I completely forgot to post something yesterday when I had the chance. I'll see about posting something more today as an apology, but that's a genuine screw-up on my part.

I did a bit of laundry myself today, though I wasn't thinking about that when I started this. Huh.

3/21/14 - Lit

Rough and a bit blocky, but I think it turned out cool. Just wanted to do something with some interesting lighting between animating.

3/20/14 - Whole World At Your Feet

Yeah, more weird looking stuff out of context! My favorite.

I say this for everything but I'll say it anyway: still fiddling (more perspective on this one I think, and that foot could use a bit more love), but I like what I've got so far.

3/19/14 - Just Walkin

I'm gonna fix the head later but this is a rough creepin walk cycle for one of my shots.

3/18/14 - Nightstand

A WIP for the film. Still fiddling with the perspective on a few elements. A couple of things are missing  (the cactus, the rest of the headphone cord) either because they won't be visible in the shot, or they're to be animated later.

3/16/14 - Swing


Barely made it on time! Or did I? It's exactly midnight when I'm writing this (and now 12:01 that I'm publishing). I ended up re-doing the door and rotoscoping a model I built and animated of it in Maya, and then the character animation's needing more clean-up/re-proportioning, but that's all in good time.

3/15/14 - Get Ready

This is what super rough animation looks like when I start in Flash! Tiny bit of clean-up here to be honest, but I've been trying lately to get things in a state where I can just plug 'em into Photoshop and get straight to inking.

3/14/14 - Splash

Gonna edit this one more later, but I've spent too much time on it already today. Gotta go animate!

3/13/14 - Ominous and Pink

By no means finished, but mostly color blocked at least. Creepy hallway for the film! woooo

3/11/14 - Again

Can we just count the time that we go to sleep as the end of the "day"? Too much to get done.

3/10/14 - Bound to Happen

I'm late! I even had this this morning but got caught up in a meeting tonight, and now it's after midnight. Well, what can you do...

3/9/14 - Hard Stare

Screwing around with coloring techniques, though this was more a shading test I suppose. I like it! Now to try getting it without coloring over other lines.

3/8/14 - One Down


It looks like I have to toy with the framerate again (it might just be a gif thing) but here's the first shot of my film fully colored! There'll be a couple more effects in the final version but the bulk of it all's done. 40 more to go finish up now, wooooooo

3/7/14 - Blinds

Another piece for that other film I'm doing. Tried a style inspired by stuff from a DC comic I can't remember. I'll no doubt be trying an approach like this again and will have the details then, it's quite nice art.

Jack Black, whaddya doing in there? You're not in this movie! Unless you want to be, but it's in indie production so you won't be getting as much money but you will be getting more ~*freedom*~.

3/6/14 - Ms. Blake

Productive today, but nothing ready to show from it. Instead, here's a quick thing of the main character of my film! I haven't gotten to inking yet so I can technically still screw around with character design, and I've been meaning to age her up a bit. I think I might have gotten it in the eyes here, which is great because that's a quick fix overall. May try some more things out later.

3/5/14 - The Fear


A second pass at some art for a live-action film I might be doing over the summer. The expression's heavily inspired by the posters for La Haine, a very good French film my sister introduced me to last year.

Interesting how I spent so long on the first pass and it turned out like crap, but loosening up (and applying far more contrast) to this 2nd one got me a result I'm much happier with. And also really looking at photo reference; I tried to wing those eyes on try 1, that turned out to be a headache.

3/3/14 - Wakin Up


Got to clean this up a bit more (and add the blanket and full pillow to all the drawings), but I spent a good part of the day getting this together. Now you know how the first shot's gonna be animated!

Sunday, March 2, 2014

3/2/14 - What was that!?

Gotta cheat today; this was drawn yesterday, but today's being spent on the road, so when I'm able to draw I won't be able to upload it properly. I might submit two tomorrow (one of which being something actually drawn today) to make up for it, but we'll see.

3/1/14 - Where's My Phone?

Animated for a while today, no time to add much more to this tonight. An interesting still in that you see a lot that you won't in the final version (the bottom of her head, some of her forearms, whatever's hidden behind that table that desperately needs adjustment).
