Animating the Space girl (work in Progress)

0comments


I made this walk cycle (which is far from finished) following Animator's Survival Kit. I still need to add more frames in there to smooth it out a bit, the BG, and hair are temporary.

Might as well include the flash sketches for her front view ...

Creating A Sheriff/Outlaw

2comments
The Sketch was done in Sketchbook Pro and the inking and painting in Flash.

Here is my result after bringing it into flash ...





As you can see, once you have a basic sketch, all that is left is embellishing it as you go in Flash.

Storyboard frame

0comments

Hey everyone, Just wanted to post something since I have been posting very little. Here's a frame from a story board I was (am?) working on with a couple of friends. It is was to be a story about a guy who is terrorized by a Roach who seeks revenge for the massacre (squashing) of his entire family.

More Eric Characters

1 comment




Well after over 9 months off, I am back and starting all over again. I just downloaded a trial version of Sketch book pro and sketched this version of Eric the Red which I like more than the ones I've done previous because I always envisioned him a little huskier.

As for Sketch Book Pro it ROCKS!! I am going to buy it without question.

Looking for some Femme Fatales for Capt Sanchez

0comments
These are quick pen sketches done on regular notepad, then color was scribbled on their using Photoshop. I kind of like the grungy, unfinished look, thats why I dont really tighten up the colors and ink it. After all they are character studies right:)




The side view is in desperate need of work on this girls face. I used the same girl from MassExodus' design. I really want her to have an overbite, cause I think it looks cute.



These two girls I did .... just cause I can:), I'm kidding, just more studies.

Testing the Captain's Movements

3comments
I added a few small but important subtleties to our sanchez test here. Sanchez' character design is still in "development" (since I am stepping into the flash animation world I better start using the lingo) I am deffinately going to redraw that mechanical arm, I am thinking of changing the outfit up a bit into a more Retro Space-man suit.





Thanks for the visit, y'all come back now hear?

More Background practice

3comments
This one was done in Painter,which is a program I very seldom used. I like it, and will make an effort to learn it. This shot is actually from the Opening scene from Episode 1 of Eric the Red. It shows a Father Eskimo and his two kids caught in a snow storm.

Obviously inspired by Samurai jack/Retro bg's, although I am no expert and need alot of practice. I figure you got to start somewhere.

Anyone that has known me for about 2 minutes or more knows about my trouble with backgrounds. So here is the first of a couple of attempts at them.

Speedlines Practice

I did this following the tutorial from How to Cheat in Flash CS3. Not really the best results but I think I can add this to my, "I know how to that" list.

Seamless BG Practice

0comments
I don't know if any of you are familiar with How To Cheat in Flash CS3 by Chris Georgenes, but he has a section in their where he shows you how to make a seamless BG. I did this little quicky a few weeks back to practice it ...

Eric in the middle of striking his opponent. This is a serious Frame by Frame attempt that is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Captain Sanchez and the Space Coyotes!

0comments
This is the design for the two main characters from a new concept of mine called Captain Sanchez and the Space Coyotes! To enlighten you a little bit, coyotes are people who smuggle people from country to country ... Illegally. Well, captain Sanchez does the same thing, the only thing is that he does it from galaxy to galaxy or planet to planet, since in my future there are not countries but planets.
