Terribly Delayed Stuff.

I'M DUMPIN DEM ALL. Draws from last year to January, I think.

30 secs?






Plein Aiirrr (more like Plein Indoors from school campus)



?? 3 mins?



I was experimenting with colors but OHOHOHO I hate anatomy and proportions.


Now, allow me to smash my head into multiple walls in peace, thank you.

Car show

Car show... it's been way too long since I've set foot to downtown Toronto and home. I miss the place.

My dream car is probably a baby blue colored Volkswagen beetle.




NOT THIS LOL, but same color. (ink pen and digital)



Some sketchies! I saw a car that looked like an upside-down Cheshire cat.

Doh.

Dumping all my Life Drawing stuff, lololol. My head hurts too much to think...

Recreating a character:

Hopefully my days will get better.

Deciphering Korra

lol (yes that's all I can say to begin an entry)

My friend was showing a (apparently leaked?) tidbit of the upcoming Avatar series. Homg. It looks awesome man. Even though I've never really watched Avatar before (you guys can smack me with a brick if you want). I'd prefer to watch the new series since it's going to be short, and I prefer it that way :)

Anyways, this also gives me an excuse have first shot at studying an action sequence. I've always wanted to know the magical secrets behind the excitement of fighting! I know it was going to be a challenge... but I never expected to spend so much time on this. I ended up nitpicking all the compositions while referencing the film in a badly deformed screen ratio, not really a good thing.

There are so many things I liked about that short sequence. It made my thumbnails look really awesome.









Right, I also didn't notice Korra is emerging from the window in the last shot when I did this. Most of the shots were rather easy to figure out, but that ONE bit, the shot with Korra tossing the guy... WHAT WAS THAT SORT OF TRICKERY?! I don't get it. Was it one continuous shot? If it was how did they manage to animate the guy turn around to smash the door? And how did the background change from swooshy-swoosh back into a normal street? It wasn't a screen wipe! I feel so dimwitted! ARG someone enlighten me!

Also, in the beginning I was planning to just draw the camera moves, but in the end I dropped it because... well... the template. Duh. But that made me draw so many more panels. Guh.


Anyways, can't wait for the new series!

Might as well!

I never put up my life drawing stuff. Ever. Because they're terrible and make me claw my face out. Life drawing has always been my weakest subject, but I'm making an exception today.

I was messing around with markers.

Also, this rather old pastel drawing of a horse I did during Royal Winter Fair. Instead of buying chutney, I blew my money off pepperoni and now my cupboard smells like... well, pepperoni.

Oh yeah, critiques. Please. I really need them.

Italy update again

And raging about my computer! My computer decided to restart behind my back and when I came back I realized it decided to close Photoshop along with all my unsaved drawings on it. ARG! What's worse, after it updated it's now running slower than ever! Curse you Microsoft Update! Curse you!!!


Anyways, I've never gotten myself to upload my sketchbook from Italy, but now I shall dump all my scribbles on my blog, yay!

















Most of the things are self explanatory. We all glued whatever we could in our sketchbooks, so yeah, those are real gelato spoons. I regretted using a moleskine for this trip, the pages were too thick and too few. I later bought another one with the thinner pages during my trip because I ran out of pages (can be nicknamed volume 2 of my trip, haha). That sketchbook... well, I still have no idea where it is right now.

Also I should add how cozy our room was. Funnily enough, there were these really gorgeous white flower. By the time we left our apartment, the flowers are all gone and wilted. It's like the flowers are saying goodbye to us, but I guess also because it was nearing summer.

Anyways, I gotta go update more of my old stuff. :P

So finally...

It's done! I may fix it or something but... I think it's alright for now.




The story of a cockroach running away from a fly swatter.

So many things have happened during the making of this that I don't really want to say anything about it =_=. No actually, I will. Somewhat. Like sleepless nights. And kicking myself many many times. And raging. And many more raging. Mainly the compositing part because After Effects hate me.

And, I'd like to talk about stress levels. You know how when people get stressed you'd eat more? Stuff yourself with ice cream? Then there's that level BEYOND that. The level where you're so stressed you don't even WANT to eat. Yeah.

The part I liked the most? The layout and the dust animation. The rest? Eh....

Anyways, here's the layout. I really wish I can paint details but... for some reason I can't let go of that large brush. And, it looks rather desaturated on my laptop, but it's supposed to be nice and brightly colored.



Who doesn't like rainbows?
