...rough design for first shot...



this is a rough design for the bedroom at the start...i was looking at keeping ths ttyle quite simple and the background work won't have any heavy outlines so the characters really stand out ....um yeah this is really rough because it would have more details but as a rough yeah im happy with it...

..different face shapes for the dog character.....



These are some design development i did for the dog ....i'm still developing his face a bit...hes a sausage dog and they have really long noses so trying to show this and hvaing trouble but ill definatly get there with alot more drawing :)

this still needs ummm some textage and some more bits but im pretty happys with it :)

...opening for title sequence...



This is the opening scene for my title sequence...i built all the parts in illustrator then popped them into flash and all the animating and everything else will be done in AE :) this still needs alot of work but im pretty happy with how its looking.

sorry about the terrible quality I cant seem to get the file sizes right to uplaod em :(

eliot kid



This is obvisouly not one of my own character designs but I wanted a mini break from my after effects so had a 10 min break and decided to have a go at building him in illustrator to see if I could replicate the style.......im pretty happy with it but there are a few minor bits I would change......

Wednesday 1 December 2010

...Ooooooo illustrated characters :) ...... yeeeee



This be my characters built in illustrator wooohoooo :) thats taken me sooo much longer than i planned but its finally done my eyes hurts all i can see is dots :( tat was strangely fun though and feels better to be getting slightly more awesome at illustrator because I can see in these characters some things I want to correct. :) ahhh fun times eyyy.... :)

...the girl and her doll...




This be a rough image I difd of the girl character and her doll, i have stripped some of her detail in this but was quite happy coz i drew this straight into illustrator, im finding im getting really comfortable now the more I get used to the tools :)

The cleaned up image is there aswell :) I have been experimenting with trying to build them because I have been struggling to find the line quality that I liek the most but im pretty happy with the new style/look that is being created through illustrator and with some more trial and error hopefully the character builds for my final filma will be spot on and super animateable :)

....ahhhhhhh evilnesss... :)




This be anothe rshot sorta things for my after affects, done the base fot the background so working out some character stuff now to pop in......im not having alot of animation in this piece coz don't want to focus on that want to spend my time doing effects :) yeah anywho this is the shot showing my parents as evil villains, I found it quite hard to depict them as villains and not like burglar and murders yea this is what I came up with :)
