Slowly trying to add the boards needed to make this read in as less boards as possible. :) While having fun with the effects of color and what it can do to carry the story.

Flash Animation: Design A Character

2011-02-14T20:31:00.000-08:00

For our next several assignments in Flash we will be animating a character! And for that character, we had to design someone special. And I have been hooked like a giddy nerd on the BBC TV series The Adventures of Merlin because it is AMAZING. So, I drew a turnaround model sheet of Merlin; via Sarah style. ;D

Three guesses what fandom this is from. . . If you can't figure it out, I fail at life. Lol~Having fun with brushes, is fun. So is reference. :3

2010-09-17T18:42:00.000-07:00

This sort of just made itself. Started as a drawing for a specific character, and then mutated into a mock imitation of a wanted poster. Haha. All done in photoshop.Characters: Miyuki & Shiga

COLOR IS SO HARD!!!! FOR REAL, MAN! >:Olol, sketchy messy painting-- painted over sketch shown bellow. I'm trying to get the feel of how photoshop blends color. That's the hardest part for me: BLENDING. Haha.

2010-08-27T16:21:00.000-07:00

One of my characters: Kita Scores. I was also intrigued by another artist I saw floating around the net who did a lot of Indian masks kind of things. Reference is SO hard to find. But if you know of a few places that do live animal masks and such, let me know!

This is the final animatic for my thirty second clip for class. It has gone through so many changes, I can't even begin to tell you the work that was put into it! Now that this part of the process is over, time to begin animating it all out. :3

I seriously need to get back into the 'groove.'

So, for Maya this year, we're modeling Ultraman. o_o...Awesomeness, isn't? Haha~This is our first step: create a model/character sheet.

2009-08-03T14:33:00.000-07:00

Just a ruins study. A lot of it is from combined reference from Cambodia.Water color study while I was camping in July. Cabins and trees, yay!

2009-08-03T14:31:00.000-07:00

Stitch studies! Just trying to get a feel of the way he's drawn for the orthrographic sketches I'll be doing so I can start Maya 3D modeling him. ;3

2009-08-03T14:28:00.000-07:00

Character stuff, concentration on Meihui Li-- an original character. Although, she came out a tad different than I originally saw her. Just messin' around and thought I would share. The male character in the top poster is a character from a manga called 'Vampre Knight.'

This was a quick test for of a character tripping. I just got the keys in, but the bigger purpose of this test is getting used to working with reference (which was of my brother tripping over his feet, tee hee). I was going to use this as my walk cycle for class, but its not much of a walk. I'll be doing a second one, and finishing this one later. ;3 For now, enjoy the laughs.

2009-04-11T16:26:00.000-07:00

This was the most painful tests I ever had to work with-- thus far anyway. We (as in the class) were assigned each others' dynamic action reference clips (each of us taped ourselves doing something silly) and I got a break dancing windmill action. xD Haha~! Well, I spent about a week in a half on this and did my best! Its supposed to be rough.

2009-04-08T19:06:00.001-07:00

Just quick studies I did. Probably took 10-15 minutes, no more than that. I always find I have a hard time with male models. I don't know why-- but I am going to correct it! My male drawings should look as gorgeous as my female ones. Darn it. Anyway, enjoy! They're all done in pencil, will some marker.

90 minute jump pencil test. Was a study in class and I thought I did pretty good for my first run through. This is only the rough keyed stage. A cleaner version will be added later on in the semester.

2009-02-08T18:07:00.000-08:00

One of my two first walk tests! This one is very rough and in need of several 'inbetweens' but it was just a test to see how it would look on the screen. I hope to revise this in the future after I get a bit of a critique from my superiors.

These are just a few I did today. Playing with Watecolor pencils and inking in silhouettes. I really like the bottom one even though the hand is a little... cartoony. Ten minute study. The middle one is scary, I know, but that's 'cause of the colors I choose, and I suck at feet. Have to practice those. That one took ten minutes also. Finally, the one at the top was quick studies. Five minutes for

Alright, well, I suppose I shall post a little somethin' to keep this from seeming empty. I'm in the process of scanning a few newer pieces, and digging through older ones to start color-fying the blog. =3A little note on the title: "A Muz's Mischief." Muz is actually a misspelling of 'muse' (I did it on purpose). Muz is a character-- a little cuddly fluff ball actually-- that sort of accidently
