Time Is Running Out

Time is running out for my entry in the stickpage.com tournament stage 1. My animation is about 60-80% done and its due this tuesday :(. I have to knuckle down and get this done before the weekends out because I wont have any time on monday or tuesday.

Stickpage.com Tournament Update

I have been working hard to get my entry for the stickpage tournament done on time (by next monday) and its going well. I have just added a 15 second intro where the mothership blasts out of hyperspace or whatever, moves into orbit around earth and starts blasting. I compiled a bunch of sounds together and teaked them to make the awesome sound of the mothership, which I reckon sounds awesome :)

Here is the underbelly of the mothership:

















And here is an added shot of a laser blasting the city:

Fullbody Thief Test 2

The is my second attmept at drawing a Thief from skeleton to anatomy to clothes. I was going to put gear on the last pose but I got sick of this picture and wanted to move onto something else.

Fullbody Thief Tests

Ive been practicing fullbody drawing for a few days now and I think I'm finally getting somewhere. Here is my first attempt and drawing a thief from skeleton, to anatomy, to clothes, to shading. Its very basic at the moment but furher down the track I'll be adding hands, faces and more detail. This is just one of many tests to come. Please note that I have never done fullbody drawing and have only started trying this week.

First FB tests

After I received dozens of comments asking me to do fullbody animations instead of stick figures I decided to try it out. I've watched a few tutorials on youtube how to do it and Ive started making some skeletons of fullbody models. My clothes drawing is horible at the moment and my proportioning is off quite a bit but I'm getting there.

Effects Tests

I was just fooling around with some lighting effects today. It wasnt really for anything, just for fun. Im trying to get it to look something like this:

I think I did ok. Watch the effect loop here: http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1274002126
