“I’m just sayin’.” Sketch

Trying to get started on rough sketch animation ideas while I help out other people with their projects and to just generally have more to show.
Started this animation of Rochelle kinda giving attitude… I’m going to try and voice her myself (already used a reference of myself for this)

Keshaun Model Reference

Compilation of different angles from the Keshaun Model I did a few months ago – I don’t really know if I’ll do 3D animation any time soon but I intend on doing sculpts of my characters heads at least like this, for reference 🙂

Did this rough animation shot for Leo’s film
Attempted lip sync for one, but it was hard to do his style ;-;

Got Keisha’s shape for the most part sorted ready clean at least somewhat and add colour

here’s what I ended up with in terms of frames

the illusion of movement is a powerful thing 🙂
I’ll get this tied down eventually…

Back flip Sketch frame tests

Put Keisha on top of the motion study and just seeing what frame count looks cool
Going to mix these up for faster/slower movements

Tied down the character and figuring out colour and shading for clean up

Twirl Rough – TVPaint camera

February 12, 2020March 9, 2020 mudavayeLeave a comment

Idea, just did key frames and sorted out the camera.
Sketch, added more in-betweens and info
Rough, figured out the characters proportions and animated secondary action on separate layers.

Thennn when I started doing tie downs I had an issue… cause I had animated the character on 2s and the camera was on 1s… the character was struggling to keep up with the camera.

Soooo I tried to move the character each frame but it looked weird, then I did some really rough extra frames… but animating this on 1s would take a very long time (Although it’d look really good)

So in the end I changed the camera parameters to be 12FPS and exported that then stretched the frames. There are some posing things to fix but they’re easily done.

Backflip | Keisha Electric (Rough)

Used bodiesinmotion to study a back flip motion and want to slap a character on top soon

And I’ve been cleaning this animation I started of Keisha – going to make sure I keep the shapes consistent this time for clean up

Keshaun Walk Cycle

Walk cycle practice. This took way too long

I see the inconsistent lines also, Jojo pointed them out as well and helped so later I can get better at clean up; I just need to make sure I have the shapes tied down before going attempting to make final lines.

Walk Cycles (Rough)

Currently working on tying down these rough walk cycles, but if I don’t finish them tomorrow evening I’m moving on to more Story Boards and Animatics of the scenes I have planned, so that I can get them sorted asap, then I can come back to cycles afterwards.
Cycles are harder for me because they mechanics have to be accurate otherwise it breaks… animating simple motions and faces is more fun I think.
