Some Final 2nd Year Stuff

Preparing for my Anime North table last month left little time to post some of my final work from this year, so here it is now.

For my final character design assignment I used my Egyptian pharaoh character, Ananu in a 6 drawing sequence of discovery!

Here are some highlights from my TV storyboards featuring the same Egyptian characters.

And lastly, an opening shot pan for Layout that was painted in Photoshop, again with the pen tool. I've come to enjoy using that!

 That's it for year 2! Year 3 awaits in September! In the meantime, I'm preparing some portfolio pieces. Stay tuned!

It Keeps Happening: Leica reel

Taking the beatboards from a previous blog post, they have been built upon and edited and compiled into the leica you see here.

They were also the basis for Layout, Painting and Sound Design assignments.

A quick watercolor job on my Layout

I enjoyed working on this story project and I'd like to do an animation with it sometime... who knows?

Interior Painting: An Inside Job

Our second painting assignment of the year was an interior so I took the layout I did for Layout and painted that.
Another Zelda-themed painting because I was listening to the Link To The Past soundtrack and wanted to draw a similar scene like in Link's house around waking up in the night to find a letter... the theme was ANXIETY. What does the letter say? OOoooOOOooo~

Final painting was done rather quickly considering my usual painting speed... about 3.5 hours. Done in watercolor.

ONWARDS~

First Painting of the Year

My first painting assignment this year was an exterior. I'm so glad we were allowed a lot more freedom with media and style this time. Done in watercolor and colored pencil. I'm not terribly enthused about the finished piece... If you think this looks familiar well you're right. It's the Southern Swamp boat tour center from Majora's Mask.

Here's some tonals and color thumbnails:

Lions... Oh My!

After doodling this pic below in response to this tweet, I got overcome with the urge to doodle more lions. So I did.

Rawr!

Here's where I got carried away.

The "painting" proves how much work I really need to do on this sort of style. It's very simple of course, I probably could have gone on and on with it but ehh :/ I can't wait til Digital Painting class this year so I can work on getting better at this type of thing. Excuse the awkward structure of it as well, I didn't draw it beforehand, just started laying color down. Probably a bad idea!! :i

Over and out! Rawr!
