Randomness Pt.3 - Cairo

Author Comments

Yea, well, it wasn't as hard to draw the skyline of a city as I had hoped without being completely BORING (Oh yay, 15 more gray squares to go >.< ) so instead of drawing like 500 of them in the background, I just cut it off at around 500 frames with some pyramids and called it Cairo. Lol.


But seriously, if anyone has any ideas on places to draw, even something every-day like an isle in a Supermarket, please comment on them, because I have NO IMAGINATION. AT ALL.


But uh, yea, the animation here is my first Real one, my others (all blammed) being beginner crap, and my last 2 as showcases for this idea...so give it a 5 :D


---Ranting Continues---


But SERIOUSLY, I need ideas. This scene wasn't a challenge to draw or anything, and it didn't push my experience that much forward, it was just repetitive to draw a bunch of squares. Plus, since this is all done with a mouse, continuing a line is just INSANE. It takes at least 2 tries to get a line passable, sometimes 5 for diagonals... stupid mouse >:(


Anyway, leave a comment with ideas or send me an email at lord_onager@yahoo.com if you already wrote a comment and then read this and had an idea. Happy viewing :3

Drawing tablet

One way to make drawing easier is by using a drawing tablet. I have a digipro 8x6. Nice drawing.

Simplicity

good...simple, nice music it matches with the animation....but kinda boring I thougth after the buildings were made stick people will pop out and fight :) but good job though....

that was AWESOME!!!!

Lord0nager responds:

Well thanks! :D

Hmm

Don't know if Cairo actually looks like that though...

Lord0nager responds:

I KNEW someone was going to say that, lol...

Yea, it wasn't supposed to start as Cairo, but as just a HUGE city skyline. But after the first 15 or 20 buildings, it gets repetitive. And not just for the animator, but for the people watching too. So I cut it off at around 500 frames and put some pyramids in the back to fill it up, and called it Cairo :P
