About pencils and 3D and such

It's first now I realize after spending a day trying out Maya without wanting to chuck the pc out the window in frustration of the program not working the way my mind would like it to, I never post my 3D on my blog.

I guess I'll have to play more around with it before it ever sees the light of day on the internet.

I will give it a chance, but I am very likely to run away and hide in my sketchbook after every time I touch the program, because I know it won't replace my love for doodles, messy pages and colors. <3

Flash Lipsync

Learned some simple lip sync in flash.

I also learned that if you don't have everything on separate layers the file is not going to work properly and you have to re-do your entire animation....

Edo art

We were told to pick a style to draw a background and some characters in, I picked the Japanese Edo style. We were going to draw a background, then later some characters.

Thing is...I don't do planning and someone else's style at the same time. So I got told off by one of the teachers. 

But in all honesty, I don't work very well having a bunch of people around me. I like to choose the background noise and sound level on my own, and it's usually ending up with instrumental music for a reason. It doesn't disturb me much, and if it does, I can turn it off <3

[sorry for the quality of the pictures, but the school scanner brutally murders all my colors and pencil lines, and my web cam doesn't like lack of light...]

Storyboard

Storyboard assignment:
You are on one side of the street, you see something on the other side, an object blocks your view. When the object moves you see that the situation is not what you first thought.

 Will see if I can update this thing later on after re-drawing it on my computer so that you can actually see what's going on. And probably add some color keys or something. I don't like it when scanners don't do my drawings any justice...

[EDIT]

I re-drew the storyboard so that you are actually able to see what is going on, and I tried doodling some color panels on the bottom, but I feel like the second one could have a stronger contrast in light and shadow on the old lady and the guy with the knife to make it more dramatic.

Cubey Animation

The task this week was drawing a cube person reacting to an object appearing next to it.

I chose to go with the ever classic falling flowerpot. Though...I'd love to have used a big piano, but that would have been a bit too time consuming for me at this point.

Joined animtion; Facebook

My part of the school project, joined animation.

My theme for it was Facebook.

Unfortunately I managed to shoot on single frames instead of doubles, so it goes a little too quick.

Should probably upload the storyboard thing I got too, but my web cam don't like light stickman sketches.

Will have to wait until I occupy the school scanner.

Circle animation

The first animation I did for animation class.

The Circle animation.
