New Processes and Life Drawing.

I'm trying a new thing with the liquid acrylics, because I've been loving them so much. To clearify this is only a new process to me.  I paint the range of value in with the liquid acrylics, then in photoshop I colorize it.  This is my first attempt at this, and I think it turned out alright.  The colored version character looks so finished he looks a bit odd in an empty background.  Net time I think I will try to do a whole scene like this instead of a doodle.

I've been trying to do some more life drawings (bellow), but I can't help throwing a cartoon in there.

Tickle tickle.

I don't know where this came from, but I like it.

And sorry for the wiener...

I AM ANIMATOR! (flash & after effects experiment)

It feels like it has been ages since I animated anything! 

It's just a little experiment using Flash and After Effects.  What I was really interested in was coloring  and visually finishing the animation (even though the animation itself could use some work). In that aspect I feel I was successful.

Here is how I finished and colored it:

How did this end up feeling kind of sad despite the bright colors?

My friend Thomas Culton and I are writing a script for a short animated film.  Its a strange little story that we have been trying to finish for about 6 months.  We can only meet about once a week to try and write together. 

Having a full-time job and trying to make films is hard!

I have no idea if this is how the film will end up looking, especially because we want to make it in stop-motion, but I had a lot of fun.


Next few things to work on:

• finish this darn script
• start to try and find some kind of funding for this film
• Draw more
• Animate! I need to practice sooooo bad.
• finish Character and Viewpoint by Orson Scott Card

How do you guys manage to keep personal work a part of your life?
