Enviroment Project

Just posting some old work i never got round to posting.

Experimental Project

I will be uploading stuff on here for that as soon as i can get hold of a camera since my A4 sketch book has run off and i carnt fit my A2 in the scanner -.-

ANIMAL FIRM

WELL... to be honest ive done nothing. na i joke but seriously i really have been sucked into this brief more than the other 2 for this term. I have thought of an idea and done a range of sketches aswell as digital concepts. So hopefully sticking to my tablet to draw with boost my digital painting skills. Apart from that me and Loz have deceided to work together since 2 is better than one and we both have very different strong skills in which we can combien to make the final result more pleasing than just on my own.

Ok then "The IDEA". I wanted to go with something bit more deeper than just british bulldogs with guns or welsh sheep with shotguns. So im setting mine in post apocalyptic London were the remains of the city have been desimated by nucleaur war. And the reason for this is because my animal in mind is cockroachs well thier insects.. Anyways im using a variety of creatures that ive researched that have a high resistance to radiation and may have a chance to survive such an event. Taking strongly from the Mad Max films and the Fallout game series im combiening insects to this forluma to create a interesting world. At the moment Loz is doing further character designs and location backdrops. And im taking many of the sketches or ideas that we both contribute to create digital paintings and finalise them there. We have thought alot about this and hope at the end we can achieve what we have planned. Not sure about the age though, from my sketches its got a very cute look to it but i think were going for a more 8 - 16 age. A bit like spongebob were the early series had alot of adult humour which many kids did not understand or even notice but it was still a childrens cartoon.

D:

Ok its seems me saying im going to update this more often was a lie but atleast when i do i will have more to show :}

Week 1 update

Week 1 has been intense and fun. We all have decided on what characters, locations and sound we want for the most part. Whilst always building up on the idea and making it better i have been character designing. For our main character we have the old hobo who i have designed with a corky look and often numb skulled but aswell as keeping his features. Apart from him we have various historical known people as Hitler, Guy Fawkes, Jesus and other various characters. Throught out designing i have tryed very hard to get a style and look which is visually pleasing and not too complicated for animating in a short ammount of time. I did alot of research and looked around more styles which other animators or animations have. I really liked the Weebl stuffs style for Magical Trevor but we all decided that my early sketches ( not shown) were way too similar so we pulled the plug on that style. I decided to just develop my style which i could easily accomplish myself and use various styles incorparated within it to make my drawings eye pleasing. Whilst im doing the concepts Loz is doing various thinsg which help together such as a story board in which i can relate to aswell flow charts and scripts. Andy on the other hand is doing early sound gathering for the up coming animatic hes doing.
Right now the sketches are rough and scribbly but these are some just to give an idea of what were going for. Ill upload more in the future

What Project

Ok then game face on. Last week or so we all were given 2 projects to choose from, well 3 if you include the fashion one but whos gunna do that on :P. Anyways we got a choice from a professional feeling production piece on a intro sequence. This involved a virus outbreak incident and mass disorder (Original eh). To be honest i liked this one because 1. it felt like an actual job brief and professional 2. The apocalypse style may be over done buts its perfect to start from in a group project and 3. Doing the concept art would be awesome. I got really excited till the next day when we heard about the other project.
The WHAT! project. Using the word what in a situation or story line to create a story. The guide lines were stubborn but the oppertunity to do what ever you want seemed un passable. SO.. getting into groups which is Me Loz and Andy we deceided to go with the What project for the fact we had a good idea straight from the bat and we wanted to go deeper with the idea. Me being Concept artist and pre production mostly it was my time to shine. Upcoming a couple weeks or hard work.. :'( but i love it really :P

Back to Uni

Ok back again and i really should take into thought about updating this more often. So over the holidays i have been working (job) and it gave me a chance to come up with ideas and concepts for projects i would be very keen on developing on. I have done various drawings and concepts but ill upload those in due time. Im glad to be back and hopefully push myself this term to produce work i actually feel proud of.
