2D/3D and Effects Animation

A few bits and pieces I've been working on. There's nothing final here, just tests and animatic material.

Nebulae

My second go at creating some space backgrounds following this one. I could probably work this one a lot more but I really must get some sleep.

Possible Trooper Redesign

Cannon Ball Concept

A wee piece of concept art for my upcoming film - an extended version of last semester's 60-second animation Trooper.

Apes! Colour Study, Night

Painting on top of a frame from the animatic...

Trying to avoid Clichés

"...by not actually placing my brush on the canvas!"

I came across this wonderous thing that lets you draw pictures using your voice only!

I haven't managed to get anything beyond pleasant abstract shapes from this yet, but it's very fun and I hope soon to get something recognisable here on the blog!

Apes! Colour Study

A reworked version of the previous sunset piece.

Apes! Colour Studies 1

Some colour studies for a film I'm helping out on. They're all painted on top of stills from the animatic, which you can see here.

More to come!

Fornax

Mostly marker pens and a touch of coloured pencil. This is the second character from a work in progress who'll be starring in his own animated short for my course.

Morning on Another Planet

I haven't posted here in a while, so here's a little piece I made today. It's kind of an experiment for a technique that could be better used in the future.

The sun and sky were added digitally, and besides the green tint would you believe the rest is a macro photo of a pint of beer?
