Funny in 15

Anematic for team project called "funny in 15" where we are to make a funny video lasting for 15 seconds.

don't like him either

Decided to have another go on playing with lip sync. I don't know if I will try to polish this up or not, nonetheless it was fun to play with it again.

Animated with photoshop CS6. I like it, it actually have a timeline and you can add sound on it now.

Pick and mix 3

Turnarounds of the two main characters, the angel and the demon.
A little height chart of the four most important characters; Angel, Mentor, Demon and Allotment victim.
Tried my best to make their shapes different at the same time as drawing in my artist's style. A bit difficult when all he seems to do is draw everyone, especially the men look the same.
So the mentor and the allotment victim (...this makes it sounds like he dies at some point, but I really just don't have a better thing to call him.) is based of  characters you wouldn't find as often in his drawings.

TYSON 2

The first section is little Tyson watching as his father leaves the house, never to come back. The puzzle piece represents the missing piece of him as he had no father.
The second is that he punches a guy and the blood he spits out turns into money that rains down on Tyson, symbolizing Tyson winning lots of matches and getting money from it.

The shadow boxing.
It appears to be older Tyson fighting, but as the camera zoom out it reveals it's simply the shadow of young Tyson as he is practising on his own.

This one ended up more an animation sequence than a part of the title, so it will probably be cut down a lot.
It starts with old, broke Tyson walking in the park, the pigeons fly up all around him and he looks up at them and it goes into a flashback of a young Tyson feeding the pigeons, his favourite sitting at the ground in front of him. An older youth comes over and grabs Tyson's favourite bird and rips it's head off, Tyson sees red and launches at the older kid.

Pick and mix 2

Done a few concept things for the pick and mix.
The first one is an idea for the Angels/law firm office he works at. Was thinking of picking lighter colors from pictures to make them be the good guys at the same time as Georges Barbier seem to use a lot of pastels and blues in some pictures. There is a phoenix at his desk since I thought of picking that as their logo thing, also my artist seem to like to draw birds, especially phoenixes. I simply decided to name them Phoenix legal company for now.
I know he really loves his bright red, but I thought I'd save that and the heavy black/gold for the demons office/law firm and also use a dragon for their logo/mascot as he have drawn a couple of those, it will also symbolise more of a threat since dragons are big and scary. Not sure what to call them though....

Did a few concept drawings which I colored.
One for the city the law office is in (featuring the mentor and the angel), the train they have to take to get to the allotment area and a little part of an allotment. I left the sky white in the last one because my artist sometimes does that, but I will probably draw a new one with blue sky.

These pictures are mainly testing to see how things might work, so none of them are final, especially not the allotment one. I find it really hard to keep the style of my artist while trying to draw normal looking things, mainly because he only ever do single illustrations which means he get to play with just how much detail he want to, or lack thereof. I feel like I can't really do that when I need it to be a specific place, like the city. I can't just have a big open space with one building on it. So I'm trying my best to at least keep the shapes and the typical types of buildings that he does.

With the allotment I feel like I'm trying to draw an organized version of Alice in Wonderland. He's got lots of pieces of plants and nature in his work, the only thing is that he loves to make that the most detailed thing in the entire image, so it does take up a lot of the attention. I won't have much of a problem with my Phoenix lawyers as they are quite simple, but my demon might prove a problem as she is based on his more pattern crazy clothing he's done.

Pick and Mix

For our pre production class we have to make a short cartoon based on cards that we picked. I ended up with the following cards:

Artist - Georges Barbier
Theme/Show  -  Legal thriller
Character - Angel
Location/setting - Allotments

I find it funny how it all worked out with the combination, it's really easy to come up with things at the same time as it's rather hard. Trying not to fall into the trap of basing it a lot of other shows at the same time as the simplest explanation of how it will work out up to now have been me throwing out "Law and order meets supernatural in a garden patch and they have legal battles like in Phoenix Wright."

I've been toying a bit around with Barbier's style, I did find the eyes in his drawings to be kind of small, so that is a thing I have changed a little, but I tried to keep as much as possible from his original style in my sketch work.

Been thinking of putting the entire story to a 20's England, toyed with the thought of Denmark for a little while since they have had allotments from an early age there as well, but didn't seem to find too much information on the 20's from there.
Or maybe I should just make up my own world entirely...
Either way it's 20's style all the way.

TYSON

We have been put in groups for a project where we have to do a title sequence.
The guys in my group decided they would go with the one where we pick a person to introduce, and we ended up with Mike Tyson.

I did a quick idea to do the beginning of the title sequence.
Since Mike Tyson comes from Brooklyn, New York it starts with the torch of the statue of liberty, and zooms out to reveal Brooklyn in the background. A bunch of pigeons come flying across the screen, one of them covers up the entire screen, then the name Tyson is revealed, having little feathers float down on the side.

Tyson likes pigeons, and I find that to be quite a contrast to someone who is known for knocking people down, so I thought the transaction from a seemingly peaceful New York with pigeons into the bold red background Alex came up with would work rather well as an example of this conflicting image I get.
