The Furious Crab!

This is a quick character design i made for no reason other than my own personal interest. I sketched it all out first, then scanned it into photoshop. From there i live traced and then painted the design to make it look how it does now

Bird Character Design

This is another character design of a bird, this one is probably the most relevant out of the collection that i found, simply because this bird looks the most like my character, due to the shape of the beak and the eyes.

This is an image of a character design of a bird, this is relative to my work because i my self have designed a bird as my main character so i will be able to use this as reference, and if i need to make any sudden changes this could come in handy for that purpose aswell.

Last week for the E4 project, i started on my assets and aimed to get the majority of them if not all of them done by the end of the week. i managed to complete all my background and foreground assets, bushes, trees, plants etc. From there i began on creating my character using traditional frame by frame animation. I got all the poses done, then i did a line test on the animation software Dragon, and it all flowed perfectly. However once it came round to live tracing the images and colouring them in, it became a lot more difficult due to several minor faults, like lighting, and resolution etc, which i will hopefully resolve this week if i want to keep to my schedule.

This is my time plan for the E4 project, if i can keep on target this is hopefully what i want to stick to, so that i get my animation completed on time.

This is a screenshot of my character Melvin Flemiwink, which i designed, then traced and coloured in Illustrator. This was the colour i decided on after pondering on a few different options.

Queezy theTurd!

This is another quick sketch of one of my random characters, Queezy the Turd. i sketched it out first then scanned it into Illustrator and coloured it in.

Second Ever Animation!

This is the finished animation of Billy, Kevin the 3 deadly chipmunks and the magical xylophone. All the characters and backgrounds created on Illustrator, then i produced the animated scenes on Cinema 4D then from there i rendered it to Final Cut and edited the sound on there. Hope you Enjoy!

Random Character Sketch

This was just a random drawing i did during a 15 minute break, the glorious Owl Monkey and Octopus interacting!

Basic Character Design (The Shocked Frog)

This is just a basic character design. In the mini project we were given a sheet, with a description of something that we didn't know, and we had to draw the character to what we thought it was. It turned out mine was a frog. Afterwards i scanned it into Adobe Photoshop and coloured it in. This was the quick finished result.

Second Ever Animation Storyboards (2)

In this set of storyboards Kevin seises his opportunity to steal the xylophone from Billy whilst he is distracted by the butterfly. Billy suddenly realises its gone and starts to chase him. He catches up to Kevin and head buts him in the air, and the xylophone then falls out of his mouth and bounces near the trees.

Second Ever Animation Storyboards (3)

This is the second page of storyboards for my animatic. In these scenes, the xylophone has been knocked out of Kevin's mouth, and bounces over near the trees. Billy then summons the 3 deadly chipmunks which come from the xylophone, and kill Kevin! Then Billy takes back his xylophone and walks of into the sunset.

Second Ever Animation Storyboards (1)

This is an image of the storyboards i developed for the animatic part of the animation. The characters were also originally hand drawn, then produced in Illustrator afterwards. In these scenes the basic story is there is a yak called Billy, who has a magical xylophone which plays music without being touched. However there is also a jealous zebra named Kevin who wants the xylophone for himself. He spots Billy and the xylophone and waits for the appropriate moment to steal it . Then lone behold, a butterfly appears and distracts Billy and Kevin seises his opportunity.

Second Ever Animation Background!

This was the background i created on Adobe Illustrator for my second animation. I originally drew it by hand, then drew it out on Illustrator afterwards.

In the project we were asked to create a 30 second animation, using the basis X, Y and Z. From there i created a short story about a yak, a zebra and a magical xylophone.
