Final projects are done! Fairly happy with my sack pantomime, ehhhhh about my enchanted forest painting (but maybe I'll go back in with some photoshop and do some touchup :-D) This semester was intense. The workload was by far the most I've ever encountered and now that I'm finished... I just want to do MORE. Got projects and goals lined up for the holidays that I'm so excited to get to. AHhhh, I can't wait!
And w/o further ado... here they are!
And..... Badger badger badger badger badger..... Learned a lot on this project. First... I don't like painting. Second... I should've spent more time in the planning stages to really nail down a good composition. Ahh, hindsight is 20/20. Time to start work on my own stuff!
Last week of classes and then a week of finals and I'll be closing the chapter which was this semester. Honestly, I don't think I've worked this hard in my life! But the greater the struggle the greater the payoff right? I think I've taken a leap in skills and knowledge again these past few months and I threw a portfolio together for class and because I actually have some stuff I'm kinda proud of. ^_^
This semester has been awesome. I've had a distinct lack of sleep but a small price to pay for everything I've gained. Not only in my schoolwork but I also made some really good friends as well.
Looking forward to the break and soaking up the family time. ^_^ Grey and Char are going to get sick of me by the end of it, wahahhaha :-D
Anyways to start off, here's a taste of my final sack pantomime. About 50% done; gotta finish drawing the inbetweens for the sack and chain and time it out better to the music. Also, you'll have to imagine that there is a chain that is shackling him to the bottle for the first half of the animation. :-D
113B - Heroic Tree
This will be the focal point which we'll build our enchanted forest around. When I thought heroic, I immediately thought of something that protects, shelters, nurtures... so I built a parent tree where under its canopy a young sapling takes root.
Final graphite rendering and the thumbnails/comps included:
114 - Character Animation
This was tremendously fun to animate... and I got to throw a ball bounce in! Since my first ball bounce sucked. I've also got my sack pantomine idea sorted out... I hope Chai likes it!
