Fan Art & New animation =)

Hey guys =)

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while,
i've been to Japan and back.

But I'm now back in action =P

I've started a short animation for my younger brother, he makes music and is currently studying music engineering.
You can find some of his works here : Vigour & Vibe

And i'm just doing a quick 12 second animation to put to his 'sample package'. So that people get an idea of his style of music =)

This is the storyboard,

and of course some character designing,

It took us a while to get colours right, but this is the character we ultimately decided on: 

 

These are some of the heads designs we came up with for the character: 

And just a few of the hundreds of colour sheets i did until we finally decided on one hahah

And now for the fan art : 

Howl from Howl's moving castle

Marceline from Adventure Time

Quick Post

I'm trying to cut down the time i take to do a piece of art ~

I thought i'd start by checking what my capabilities are in one day's worth of work.
This is what i got ~
It's not the best thing i've ever done, but considering how much time i usually take to do a piece ~ i'm proud =)

Until next time ~

Trying out a new style  ~
It's a lot quick and easier then what i normally do ~ and seems to be quite effective for character designing =)

New valuable art sites and a finished piece.

Hey everyone,

I finally finished this drawing :

It was inspired by this photo : http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BezlNYICIAEldfG.jpg:large
I've decided to call it "Untitled - 01" because no matter how much I looked at it, I couldn't decide what to call it.
I've also got a time - lapse of it :

So i was drawing this drawing, and I got frustrated at my own lack of skill and ability,
So i started a hunt through the depths of the internet to find some more information as well as steps i can take to future advance my skills (without it costing me my entire life saving)
and this is what i found :

An online school called CGMA.
It looks pretty good, although I personally have not tried any of the classes.

http://2d.cgmasteracademy.com/programs/

But then I went and found this blog :

http://conceptartdrive.blogspot.com.au

He has done some of those classes, and he also shares some really good advice and experience.  I would definitely recommend this blog.


I also found this page:
http://www.digitalartistdaily.com/blog/2012/11/how-to-create-a-skin-colour-palette/
that gives an awesome suggestions as to how to find your skin-tone pallet.

Also, on Facebook I stumbled across this link :
http://www.digitalartistdaily.com/blog/category/tips-tutorials/
It has some good tutorials =P

So have a look at some of these links, i think they are worth the time =)

Until next time ,
