Weight Project

-

Hi, all! For this assignment, I had to demonstrate weight and have a character struggle with managing something heavy. It took a little bit for the idea to come to mind but once I got it, the rest was relatively smooth sailing. I'm starting to see how animation can be a long process; I would have loved to make this cleaner but I didn't have enough time to unfortunately.

Oh, and here was the reference sheet I made for my character too. I'll be coloring it as well as including a reference for the robot arm as well. Not only is that hunk of metal important for the lore, but it is a pain to draw and I need some consistency with it. Speaking of, I need to be more consistent with his lore too...


That's for another day though! For now, enjoy my stuff!

 Double feature today! Finally getting into the nitty-gritty of 2D animation and I’m loving it. For this assignment, I tried my hand at animating a flour sack trying to chase a fly. Again, I tried to add more to the scene but I ran out of time. I swear it’s not me being lazy. Thus was my 3rd or 4th attempt at doing this because I was not satisfied with my results. There were some seriously amazing flour sack animations in my class and that inspired me to do better.  Hope that you all enjoy it!

 I felt so frustrated with myself because I KNOW I could have done this better. It was a wild ride from start to finish, with my going from doing this on ones to eventually switching over to twos. Even then I felt like I missed the timing with some things and have the background not scroll accordingly. What I thought would be a simple little strut turned out to be a rather stressful endeavor. While I am disappointed that I didn't do more, I am glad I got the learning experience. Definitely going to practice this on my free time.

Head Turning Assignment

-
I was super ambitious for this assignment I'll make that clear right now. Perhaps a little TOO ambitious. The assignment was supposed to be a character doing a simple head turn and yet I tried to incorporate the whole upper body as well. Little did I know how long that was going to take me, especially since I was cleaning up the lines as well. Did I have fun though? Yes! While I do feel that I could have done better with it (more easing with every turn would be nice), I was happy with myself since I finally brought one of my characters to life. His name is Leonard and while I would LOVE to go into more detail about him, I want to keep everything under the wraps for now.  One day I would like to show him off to the world though.  I know for the next assignment I'm going to feature Leo as well and that will be with weight. Until then, enjoy him trying to be a little sneak and failing.
