Rain Animation

Okay here is another video experimentation. I wanted to try and create a rain effect as I know I'll be creating a scene(s) that will contain rain.

Anyway, check it out, soz about the crap quality... it was quicker to upload..

Animation 1

Okay, so the past few days I've been thinking what to do next and it so happened that yesterday night I went to try out a meditation session.

Anyway, I wanted to create a short animation to get some idea how to animate my eventual comic, so I thought... let's try breathing... yeah that's right... just the protagonist breathing, uh huh.

Well check it out here:

It didn't go completely plan as the lighting was inconsistent in each scenes, but it still produced a cool effect.

Playing With Colours

So here's a full view of the character in his cop outfit (as you can see on the right). It's not exactly the same as the crappy sketch I made earlier but it's more or less the sameish~

Anyway, I decided to experiment with colours again and see what kind of styles I can come up with.

The first picture is in the complete original style, then the next image I changed the image a bit so you can his nose, increased the saturation and changed the whole colour. In the third image I darkened the lines to give the character a stronger and more determined look and changed the colour to a light, ice cool blue. The final image is an inversion inspired by Andy Warhol's Michael Jackson piece.

Thug 1#

Yeah, yeah, what's up...##??#

So Today I thought, how about trying to design a villian, or just something different for once, yesterday I tried out a new character but it didn't work out so I didn't post it up.

But , anyway, here's a mock design of a thug that i'll be using my first short which I'm working on atm............. Wiki wiki wah

Busy busy busy @@@@

Creating a sequence

Okay, yesterday I created a mock scene so I decided to proceed to the next step which was to design 2 images of the characters that could be used in sequence.

But now that I have 2 designs I essentially have 2 characters. So what I can do is put them in the same scene and this give me the opportunity to imagine what it would be like if I did have more than one character interacting with each other.

Mock up concept

So I decided to play around with the previous image I posted up and try and create something with a bit of feeling.

I used to red around the character to convey a murderous/dark intent within him.

Practice Scene

Wala~ Here is my first mock up of a scene.

I haven't played around with the colours yet nor done up the background properly but you can see how things are beginning to shape up. O_______O

Here's a slightly different version of the character design by itself.
