Overcoming Obstacles (2D) Final!

The GIF image doesn’t have the zoom like the video version, simply because I couldn’t figure out how to do it in TVPaint, but this is my 2D done, so I can finally start the 3D!

3D Animation Idea

 

My idea for the 10 second 3D animation is super simple. I’m just going to use one of the rigs we were given in the contents and place them in a mine scene, and have them trying very hard to lift a boulder into a cart.
I’m going to try hard to demonstrate effort with this animation.

3D character head

Here’s the progress on my 3D character. Eventually I’ll model the body.

Progress on 2D Animation (5)

Animated the shelf and will work on finishing this next week

Progress on 2D Animation (4)

Pretty much from this point forward just need to add the clean outlines on the character and also add is fur hood, animate the breaking shelf, and redraw the background and I’m finished.

Progress on 2D Animation (3)

Completed the whole character animation and am now ready to ink the character, then all I need to do is animate the shelf and draw the background in clip studio or something and pan it appropriately.

Progress on 2D Animation (2)

I’ve started off by tracing just the character without his fluffy hood (I’ll animate that on a separate layer since its slightly more complex in terms or keeping the form).

This is where I’m at so far from self study. I noticed I missed drawing the ball in one of the frames so I’ll be sure to add that back.

2D Animation Progress

This is from last week but I started animating the face of the lizard character on top of the base animation.

Adaption Lecture Task | Fairy Tale

For the animation lecture we looked at adaptation for stories.
The story I have chosen to look into is a Greek fairy tale called ‘Kallo and the Goblins’ [Source].

The story is about a character named Kallo, a girl who had an older, ‘ugly best’ sister named Marbo. Kallo was admired by people in the village while Marbo was not and she became jealous. As Marbo had become so jealous of her younger sister, Kallo was forced to do all the work in the house.
One day their mother asks Marbo to head to the mill to grind flour but Marbo insists that Kallo go instead and so she does. She gets there however her grains are poured in as the miller is off to bed and so she has to wait.
At midnight, some Goblins show up and threaten to eat her, Kallo however insists they can’t eat her in her old dress and would need a new one, so they steal one for her. She then uses this to her advantage and states that she needs other items as well, including face powder. This lasted until dawn, and the goblins had to leave since they can’t survive in the day. The miller had woke up and Kallo was able to have her grain grounded and headed back with everything she got from the goblins and also the flour.
Marbo was still unhappy and jealous at the fact that Kallo got the flour and wastes it out of spite. Eventually more flour is needed and Marbo goes for it, she encounters the goblins also and they injur Marbo’s face after they attempted to eat her, but the Miller saves her after hearing her cry.
In the end, Kallo uses the face powder she got to heal Marbo’s face and she learns her lesson.

If I could adapt this story, I would definitely do it as a re-imagining (use the story as a voice and tell it my own way). The story is brilliant but I feel like I could change some areas, such as the length of the story and how much of the backstory for Marbo and Kallo is told so that Marbo’s jealousy is explained even better.
Since it’s a re-imagining as well I’d change the setting so its more modern day, and instead of the characters needing to go to a mill for flour, they need to instead go to an office to print or something along those lines.

Bust Orthographic | OC

My plan for my 3D Animation was to model my character Mercedes and animate her lifting a boulder but I realised how complex that would be. This is the project I’m going to work on alongside it in my own time, modelling my character Mercedes plus animating her, adding textures and rendering.

I’m currently working on modelling the bust in Maya.

Shimmy

Quick test animation I did of my friends Lemboi character again

Progress on 2D Animation

Here’s my progress so far on the 2D Animation during self study. I found it really difficult to animate the running feet section and the sequences when the character catches the ball (which is why I copied and pasted it the second time he catches it).

Holiday Sketches

A bunch of sketches I’ve done over the holidays (personal mostly)

I’ve been doing commissions for people in my spare time which I post elsewhere mainly. I want to get back to doing loads of animation studies this week.
