Still working on it. I think I have enough done now to start learning how to animate. Wish me luck!

good luck!
haha, it looks nice.

very rad man
post progress on your animation por favor
-
Nothing special, but at least I'm making progress! Animating the robot will be a different story... And trying to get that "pixar" charm will be even tougher...
-
very nice man, i think with the camera you got you should make the butterfly move into the frame in an arc rather than a straight movement. it doesn't look too natural compared to the rest of the movements.
btw, i learned a lot from these resources. think they may be helpful
victor navone is an animator at pixar. his tutorials are the way they do it in the industry and are really great.
carlos baena also works at pixar. very nice resources there. the incredibles planning tutorial is great.
kieth lango is a great resource too. he's been animating in the industry for a long time now.
the thing that they all stress is starting out with key poses (based off of reference videos or reference of yourself and thumbnails of the poses), no smooth animation in the beginning. gotta make sure you have strong silhouettes with each pose. make sure what you're looking at, without facial expressions and whatnot, reads as a certain emotion or action. after that, you add the breakdowns and still don't smooth the animation, looking out for fluidity and arcs for each action. think of it as a painting, where you lay down your base colors and go from there. the fine details go at the end.
anyway, from the breakdowns, you go to your inbetweens, stressing the same things as above. the whole process is a lot to explain, but i haven't even gotten close to summing up what they say. definitely give them a read if you got time. the industry way is really the easiest and most efficient method. if you try to add your details in the beginning, one screw up will have you digging through craploads of information. anyway man, hope it helps. there's so much to 3d animation i never even knew about. oh and don't forget about the 12 main principles of animation.
more progress por favor

Animation is fucking hard. I've been playing around with it with my robot, and man, I can't even begin to figure it out. doesn't help that my rig seems to have stray weights that cause random vertices to go all hawyire.
I have immense newfound respect for Pixar and 3D animation in general.
gnarf: those resources are fantastic. I took a look through most of them, and they definitely helped. I think I need to go back and fortify my animation basics before tackling what I wanted to tackle.
No art to show as such, although I have some things in the works so yeah.

need to try harder, finish more. -

I think the fur would benefit from some red/orange/brown colors. Otherwise it's looking fantastic sir, keep it up!
-
In my defense...
1. It may be on flesh (turned into a tattoo) so warm colors would be lost.
2. I ran out of red watercolor pigment. -
yeah this looks great man. love the colors. keep at it yo
and btw ehtan, i really dig that space monkey you got going.
-
David: always adored your linework, I have to say though that I'm not a fan of the fur. It's not so much the technique but the colors themselves I suppose.
I've been trying to do at least one drawing a day recently, but failed to keep it up the last four days. So here's to getting back into it.
-
fuk yeah green gold fur. this would be such a bitchen tatoo
-
goddamn man, so awesome, the pose is great
tell me you have a website

Hope it's okay I shared this...

God damn!

I don't mind, but I'm not updating it. It was required for class to make a site of some sorts but I didn't worship my constant concept, typography or layout demons as religiously as some others did from my course. Interesting, though, how most of the work is pre-university, no? :P (did I ever ramble about how I haven't gotten much out of it but a broken heart, here? I did :P. Well that and an awesome internship with super nice people)
-
I'm a bit rusty, but I did this tonight to show I'm not dead. Now it's 4 in the morning because apparently drawing quickly still takes me forever.
-
Oh man, love that foot. And the sideways face on the facing page. Hot stuff.
Mia; More, please!
-
ah, fanks david!
miaaaaaaaaa; More, please!
and blick, i'm really digging the foot too. and those legs to the left of it look damn sweet, very cartoony feel to them.
-
dave: I too like the foot the best. Draw more Mister! I find crosshatching very hard and prefer using ink with water and brushes for shading myself, by the way.
here's a select few of the daily sketches:
Eyvind Earle study in acrylics
and here's an album cover of sorts I made here as well. the final result was screenprinted and folded around the cd (see second picture)
(thats the ink brush thing I was talking about btw)
I made a different type eventually as this looked stupid when unfolded. The new one isn't that worth showing enough, though, as to open the ginormous original file now :) -
Made this two days I ago :- )
And now I tried to study but..
I need a scanner..
-
great stuff mia, I'm especially loving the cat. The head kind of looks like a squirrel monkey to me but it makes me love it more.
-
@miascugh, those are all really impressive, but i think the girl's arms are a tad too short. my favorite has to be the one with the dragons, great lines and the man has an excellent expression. i want to see more!
@noet, stylish.
-
Man, fuck you, mia. I've decided to stop offering up accolades, but in their stead serve icy cold put downs that will hopefully chip some skill off of your hands so that I may scoop the skill powder up and create my own pretties.

Today, in a fit of artistic frustration, I decided to force myself to get better at digital drawing in photoshop. So I found a random word generator, and worked from that word. I think I'm going to try and do one a day. I hope to get faster and find a better workflow in the process so that I might start making some real nice digital illustrations. Anyways. Here's the first one.
EDIT: Xion, the word was "Monster"
-
Quark; Awesome. What was the word?
Noet; Loving that walking robot. You wanna collab sometime?
Mia; Loving the first, fourth, fifth, and last pics. Agree that the girl's arms are too short.
Ugh I dunno. Jeeze I suck so bad at digital stuff :<
-
Quark: Love the colors so much!
Xion: Never done it before but I'd love too!
First time in openCanvas!

a quickie.edit:
'nother. -
Aaaaaand, not to jam up Punaji with more of my shit, but here's all the pixel junk I've been throwing down over at TIGS for their assemblee compo:
