R&DC: Done!

The finished Animated Short of ‘Raspberries & Dark Chocolate’! It has been a struggle to make this whole animation by myself, working day and night. Focusing on Design, mainly the Characters and Costume. “…In a Circus, sat somewhere in the woodlands of England. Two young women met; one sweet as a baby bird named Ruth…

R&DC: Almost in colour.

Feeling good now, simplified plan. Only drawing what makes me happy. So far I have taken out anything that bores me. Anything that it’s entertaining or Visually translates information a bit the two characters and where they are. Like I’ve said before; “My project is about two female leads who live at the Circus and…

Masters: Characters.

My computer & myself are struggling with work, it’s tired and I’m trying to keep going. I’ve been looking at Animators Reels and amazing pencil tests to inspire me rather than feel downhearted that my work won’t look as there’s yet. Ruth. Thinking about Ruth and her 1950’s influenced style. the modern game Cuphead is…

Masters: Cleanup in progress.

Cleaning up my project. I’ve shortened my project and I’m getting to it’s point; depicting Louise and Ruth spending time together. I may even cut it down even more now I have this clearer image. A Few Months Ago… To make it easier for myself I decided to sketch out the eight main points of…

Master: Spring Clean.

Personally I believe it is important to be honest, obviously we are all in a strange time at the moment, and I have been very stressed. Which I hate because it slows down my workflow and I get bad headaches. Consider the time I have lost in February for a lack of tech support, I…

After building the design in a 3D software games, I consulted a friend studying Architecture for advice on key…

Concept Art – Pom Pom cupcakes.

As I spend most of my time on TVPaint, it seemed that I should spend a little extra time in Photoshop. This week I gave myself a small challenge to come up with some side Concept Art for my current project, allowing myself to look around the program and have some fun while staying on…

Masters: Characters & Style.

A little experimentation exercise with the main characters and design style. Gwen Stefani is one of my inspirations for fashion and style over the years & it’s strange to find out that another inspiration of mine was Gwen’s too. Non other than Vivienne Westwood the Queen of Punk. Never actually hear Gwen Stefanie talk before,…

Masters: Sketching Out the Plan.

After a stressful holiday break, which had me working overtime. I can finally get back to what I love. I have been getting the script together, paperwork and the Animatic sketched out. Now I can start to polish bits of this project and have some fun with the development. I am quite excited since these…

Masters Animatic.

Already knowing the two lead characters personalities, it was only a matter of time until bits of their backstories started to fall into place. I’ve been writing about Louise and her twin, Eris, for about two years now after creating them during college. It’s only recently that I’ve started to figure out Pom Pom’s. I…
