Week 2 ~

Hey guys,
sorry for updating the week 2 drawing when the week 3 drawing is almost due xD

For some reason, i've been applying to lots of places for work and always getting no's and just this week everything has hit at once so i've been very busy.

Anyways, this week (or last week) the themes where :

Umbrella,
Familiar face,
into the dark,
has a horn; and
rebirth.

The ones i chose was umbrella and has a horn, and here it is ~

It was a quick one this time, because i didn't have much time, so it hasn't come out as good as i would've liked. But you know, the point is practice ~ and being time restrained is a good thing because you get to see how far you can go in a limited amount of time.

anyways, i will hopefully be posting week 3 soon. 

Until then,

Ariane 

Week 1

Here is the drawing i did for our 'group get better at drawing' project ~

I'm disappointed, it didn't come out the way that i had wanted, but it is also something different from what i draw on a daily basis, so i'm not entirely disappointed. I do understand that having little to no experience in drawing something does mean you won't be able to draw it as well as things you draw on a daily basis.

Anyways, the theme for this was 'Temple Elder',
Time was probably about 5 - 10 hours (longer then usual because it was something new)

other themes i could've chosen from included;
Red mist;
Anteater tea party;
cyclops jester; and
Hero slayer

Summery Winter Holidays

Hey everyone,

I've returned to the 40 degree heat that is Australia, from the 2 degree frost that is Japan.

We've started a weekly drawing project so I will be posting about that on a weekly bases hence forth =P

For now, I've done a quick sketch that I will finish ~

Also, I've decided that i will be (attempting) to enter Tropfest 2014 so you will be seeing more posts about progress and other such things. 

So until next time,

Christmas and New Years

Hey everyone,

This is officially my first post outside of tafe studies ~ yay =D

Sorry its been a while,
I have done some work ~

i did this sketch :

I know its not very "christmas-y" or festive, but thats what came out when i said to myself "draw whatever you feel like" 

Anyways, I plan to be doing a drawing (fully finished) each week next year, so make sure to look forward to that. 

Also, I will be going away for the new years holiday (and a bit after that) so i won't be able to post anything for a little while =) so i apologise in advance for that. 

But you should be able to see lots of stuff after that holiday.

Anyways, thats all i really had to say,

All the best, 

Season Greetings~!

Until next time, 

Ariane

New Webpage, New Showreel, New Drawing & End of studies !

Firstly, I apologise for such a long absence but the end of tafe has been taking my attention ~

SO much so that i don't even know where i should start =D

~ Soooo much exciting news =P

I guess i'll start with the most important, my 2013 showreel =P

There were so many stumbling blocks to get this showreel together, so I'm just happy that it's done xD

Next, My new Webpage ~ www.apicsstudio.com

It's finally done =D! it took soooooo long to get this webpage up and running ~ once again, i kept running into walls with it, but its finally done.


Next, My drawing -
I've finally finish this drawing :

=D yay =D

Lastly, tomorrow (wed) and thursday ~ are my last two days of study =D yayayay =D 

Also, here is my guardian character that i made in 3D, i've finally put him together: 

Thats all i really have to say right for now 

~Until next time,

Ariane ~

Setting

Just a quick post this time :

My setting is slowly (much slower then i wanted) coming along ~ 

i've still got lots to do, but its looking a lot better then yesterday =)

I want to add a layer of subtle fog on the ground as well as having some fog light coming through ~ but anyways, thats all i wanted to post for now =P 

Until next time ~

Nearing the End

Yep, thats right, i'm nearing the end of my 3 years of study in animation. Only 2 weeks left to go before the Expo. 

So for things i've done since the last post : 

As you are all aware of, we are working together with the film students in making them an animated title sequence. 

This week i worked on our new version of the animatic

this is the direction guide and shot guide that i drew up quickly (the drawing is also mine) 

Also, this coming monday we have to do a presentation on something we learnt during work experience. I've decided to do mine on DaVinci Resolve, a software that we do not have at tafe. 

I've also made a drastic decision to stop my idea of using 3D characters for my short story, instead using 2D characters for my short story : 

Also, i took a break and started a new drawing : 

Obviously its not finished yet but I hope to make this the best drawing yet =P 

Thats all i've really done this week. Hopefully i'll have lots more to show you by next week. 

Until then ~
