Randy Cunningham's Ninja (ART TRADE)
So this is my piece for an art trade with Laura Murray (http://lauramurray22.blogspot.ie/)
I drew the character she designed along with the ninja from Randy Cunningham (love him).
Beneath is the character she designed for me
Below is the process as usual:
1 & 2: Thumbnail sketch and clean up ( was going to paint this, so the lines didn't have the be great)
3) Flats

4) The painful painting process...arrghhh :D
I didn't take screens here, I actually paint on 2 layers only, background and foreground.

Randy Cunningham Scenes
I saved the scenes I worked on for both episodes of season 1 to my youtube account. It's not that I'll be using it for a showreel, but I want to be able to look back through my work and see the progress. I can only hope that I get more work after my contract ends, otherwise this will be a memory of a short lived animation career ;)
These are scenes from Episode 49, which was the first episode I worked on. Props to the BG and Comp department for really bringing this to life!
The following sequence is from episode 52 (the season finale), which is actually less good than my first episode :P One of the reasons is that the original ninja & Plop Plop were new characters, so there was not a lot of reference to go by. Was also the first time animating the ninja for me (little did I know he would be my favorite character to work on later :D). I didn't really have the confidence to push things further at the time. This sequence was a full minute of animation done in 3 weeks. So I am actually just really glad I managed to finish it all in time!

ART TRADE with Michelle Henderson : Final Fantasy XII's Vaan
This is my piece for an art trade with Michelle Henderson. Please check out her work on her facebook page. If you like character design, you'll love her artwork!
I'm not exactly sure if I like my own piece, I really want to work on perspective and dynamic poses...but I am still very "fresh" in doing that. So most likely I am greeted with failure...but I don't have the skills yet to see. I like the composition and color palette however.
I posted a step by step below.
MY ARTWORK:
MICHELLE's ARTWORK (click to enlarge)
(https://www.facebook.com/tenguarts)
STEP BY STEP:
1) Thumbnail/ ROUGH
2) ROUGH PENCILS
As you can see I was making a lot of changes through the process. I cut and pasted the arm to make it bigger, and in the ink version I also enlarged the leg.
3) INK (sort of..it's more like clean pencils)
4) Color FLATS
5) Color Shading (simple)
Michelle then helped me out with easy fix...OVERLAP!

After that I changed the colors slightly (Just changed the heu and contrast) and changed his facial expression into something more normal :D

DBZ, Little Witch Academia & Kill La Kill Sequence studies
I was experimenting in a new sketchbook with watercolor, posterpaint, watercolor pencils and Gouache. Trying to find a media that can quickly give my sketches some life. I experimented further by doing some studies of movement on my other blog. --> LINK
This is a sequence of Trunks in a DBZ episode.
I recently saw an AMAZING documentary of a short film called Little Witch Academia by Trigger. I highly recommend you watch it if you are into animation. --> LINK
I also wanted to at least show my appreciation to the animators by watching the actual short as well :D I have to say that initially it looked like something I wouldn't watch, but I really ended up enjoying it..especially the animation and draughtsmanship is outstanding. Below are some sketches of a couple of poses while trying out some different media to give it a lick of quick color.
I then switched to watching a few episodes of Kill La Kill by the same studio. I was totally amazed by the VERY STRONG POSING and EXCELLENT SHOT LAYOUTS. It's quite incredible and I highly recommend it just for that. The story itself could be a bit offensive, since you get arse and tits shoved into your face every other second.
