March 11 Second Club

Ok, I'm about to put myself through some pain. I have a lot of work to do already, but I learned some important lessons in doing the first 11 second club, so If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I've got an idea of what I want to do, so I'm going to plan this a better than I did the last one. If I'm smart about this I can get it done in a timely manner minus the pain. Here are some Ideas I'm throwing around. 

 

Griffin

Sketch Daily Griffin. Poor guys should have skipped on this quest.

Girl, You on Fire!

Diva extraordinaire going through the photoshop machine she got the full color makeup. Keeping the palette a bit more subtle and not quite over the top kid like. Hoping to have a greater appeal. She is confident and aware that she is on fire. Not the neck rolling type, more elegant and aware of who she is.

In Living Color

 My main man Wood had going through the photoshop machine and has got the full color workup. Keeping the palette a bit more subtle and not quite over the top kid like. Hoping to have a greater appeal. He is just a down home good time fella.

More Toy Story Fun!

 To continue this series of what if Toy Story was cast with black characters instead. Here is Buzz Lightyear, hold on, BL. He is a bit more brash than Buzz. A former top athlete who was drafted to the corporate space program. Sponsored by Jay-Z, he is a walking talking endorsement machine.

Hey it's Jessie uhhh Ja'Shae

Revisited the drawing of the character Jessie, whoops Ja'Shae. Toy story in on of my favorites so I thought I'd throw some lines at these characters. I'm sure I'll color both, not sure If I'm gonna do a Buzz revisioning. Cleaned up the art. I'm looking to do an African American interpretation that don't have some sort of 'Hood' or 'Gangsta' feel. I'm not judging, just say thing there are other spectrums to the character of Black people than hip hop.

Hey it's Woody, err Wood!

Revisited the drawing of the character Woody err, Wood. Cleaned up the art. I'm trying to resist the temptation to do some color work. Then again I wasn't planning on cleaning up the art on this, but you know how it goes, that first line of ink is the last line of ink. I'm thinking that first spot of color will end up the same. Hang in there people!

Jessie naaa Ja'Shae - Toy Story Redux

Continuing with my new toy story. Ja'Shae is Jesse. Sweet and Spice and everything nice. Girl got style for sure. I couldn't leave my boy Wood without his girl right...

11 Second club Pose test numero 3

Running through the logistics of poses and character moving from point a to point b. I need to do break downs and fine tune acting still. Slowly but surely.

11 second club, pose test 2

2nd pose test. There are still some areas that need refinement pose wise, and I like to test before I commit to charting and animating. So after this pass on the posing, it will be on to charting and animation. I'm going to weed out the stuff I don't like. In particular the way it ends.

On a side note, one of the ways that I play with some of my timing is by cutting out the poses and taping them up on another sheet. It saves time instead of redrawing them. Just a little FYI.

11 second club nov 2013 - character and bkg planning

So I decided that I enjoyed the pain of animating and doing inktober, and thought I should take on another challenge while I work on animating on my Thesis. So I'm going to do this month's 11 Second club. I'll make an earnest effort to show my progress as much as possible.

Most of the thumbnail and planning is soo bad it ain't worth posting, but these character ideas and bkg concepts are going in the right direction.

 The concept is simple: Using a sound clip, transcript of clip below:

 Voice One ( woman): "Your job is to break through barriers, not accept blame and say 'wah wah wah'. So what?"

Voice Two (man): "I don't cry."

 Voice One (woman): "You wanna be really great? Have the courage to fail big and stick around."

 I like to think about characters and what they are doing, it helps me to plan the animation. So my idea based off this clip is that the guy has been flirting with the woman when he should be working, she is brushing him off, in the end he finds himself stuck to the jet engine he is supposed to be fixing. A simple idea, and the goal is not to go crazy with the concept, but set something up that will allow for solid animation.









Forgot to add in my shortcut boards where I drop in the bkg so I can focus on the characters acting, because I don't plan on any camera moves.

BTW, I found the storyboard template on deviantart.com where there are a ton of storyboard templates.

Almost there. Bleeding Ink.
