Connor you have some of the best staging around. I'd go so far as to say it's on par with Luis. Genius work. Can't wait for the toon!

Woah, thanks! I dunno about being on par with Luis, but if there's one thing I ever learned from him, it's the importance of presentation. I'm keeping my characters a little more loose in terms of drawing/animation in this one, but I'm doing the backgrounds in all photoshop so it's a little different from the whole "draw in flash then import it" thing I'm used to. I hope I get to see more of your stuff this year too, you're getting better and better every time I see something new from you.

Uh, it's a little complicated now that I think about it but I'll try to explain it the best I can. The background's completely drawn with the photoshop brush tool, so I basically just zig zagged with blues until I got the windows to look like the door does now. After that, I brought it into flash, cut the windows out with the lasso tool (if there's one thing I'm grateful for in Flash CS3 it's the addition of the polygon lasso) and put those on a layer below the photoshopped background. In between those two layers I drew a big puffy cloud type thing with a big white brush on 75% alpha, and afterwards I just put some big blur on it - probably around 30 or 40. So basically that cloud slowly moves while the credits come up so it looks like clouds moving in the reflection of the glass.

The art of the character looks really good, but I think it might be a little too different from the background in terms of quality. I'd redraw the background to look a little more crisp like Alien Hominid's background with the dark outlines to match the characters style. Va-JJ apartments - I'm sure you had a field day coming up with the building names haha, I know I would.

yay, flashing again :)

is that the city movie you showed me that one time in 1934?

Yeah. I planned to work on it sooner, but *cough* a certain collab *cough cough* came up that i really wanted to be in *cough*.... Nah j/k :)
Thanks Xeptic and sneakers too. I don't know when it will be released yet, I'm working at a much slower pace as i used to, but i think it'll be worth the wait :)

Cool....got a title for the movie yet? Looks like it's going to be pretty good.

I really love those statued AITD!

Drawing of a pelvis. Nowhere near done. My teacher does not care for finished products, as long as he gets the jist.

white Charkoal on black Charcoal paper.

The title is Shaped of Clay :)

And 23450, that's a bloody awesome drawing. I love seeing strange objects like that. Stuff that looks scary and surreal at first and then it turns out to be something we all have lol. The charcoal works stellar also.

The opening scene for a flash i'm working on.

Thanks alot for the feedback guys. Nice to hear. And while i dont have any more work that is a good as the pelvis, i do have some more sitting around. Here is a peice of popcorn.

less then a month into the semester, should have alot better ones comming.

Hokey Smokes.....that's one big piece of popcorn....wasn't sure what it was at first....looks awesome, so does the pelvis. Great job. I was never good with charcol drawings, or drawings that detailed.

And considering it was drawn on a peice of paper about 3 feet long and 2 feet high kinda makes it even bigger.

But, might as well keep going with this. Here is some fabric.

i like it.

Thanks for liking all this stuff guys. Now if only i could transfer this new fround art skill into a flash project, i might actually be able to make a dent in the portal, and possibly front page. < : |

That will be pretty hard since it will take forever to animate something like that. But perhaps you can make backgrounds in this manner and use another style for characters

just alittle soemthing i did in my spare time any way here u go

Looking good. Love the hand holding the sword.

Here is another popcorn peice. It was drawn wierd though. We had white paper, covered it in Charcoal until it was completely black, and then erased to create the object. Subtractive drawing. It was fun. : )

This is the result of my second time ever touching Flash...I think it's alright.

Nothing special but hey I like it.

Thats a cool picture. You should try a flash with that, a lot of people like that kinda stuff!

Looks alot better then mosts peoples second try. Maybe you could add some shading though, like what Sneakers does with his characters.

Wow...never heard of subtractive art....looks amazing. I was always envious of people like you in art class. I was never good at the realistic stuff....my mind sees things differently. :) Great pic btw/

Thanks...though don't know if I could animate characters like that....I only have done tweenmations rather then animations. :)

I think thats what he is implying. The character models are very reminiscent of series such as decline and tommorows nobody, which are pretty much all tween animated. Your character would look nice animated.
