Regarding my Disappearance

As you may or may not know, I haven't updated this blog since eons ago, or rather last Halloween. Y'know what, have a few backgrounds:

Well, truth be told, I'm working on my film. As fun as it is, we're on our last stretch of our project and it's taking quite a toil on my sanity.

(Yes that's actually a creepy screenshot that I took when I was filling the colors in preview mode on Harmony. I think it's trying to tell me something.)

Halloween

 Don't get too crazy!

(Life drawing, 5 mins)

Don't trust weird occult dating sites.

(Life drawing, not quite sure how long but probably 10-15 minutes?)

And last but not least, eat lots of candy.

Not much

Just another two pictures from the portal sketchbook. It's not as ambitious as the first one, haha.

By the way, the first one had envelopes and parcels you can open. I'm keeping the contents in it a surprise!

The Portal Project

Wow, haven't updated in ages... anyways...

Me and my intern-in-arms Victoria Chiu (visit her here) are doing a little project involving a sketchbook and portals. It's pretty fun!

It's a bit like Sketchtravel. We pass a small sketchbook between each other and we cut a hole on each page. Then interpret an item being passed through.

So after a night of ink and origami paper, this is what I ended up with. I don't really have a name for this, but "Sugar Hills"?

Find: A golden sheep, 8 cookies, 2 cupcakes, and a teaspoon.

(I'm going to be the next I-Spy illustrator! Ha ha just kidding)

In case you're wondering, the portal is the trap door on the top left of the page. Yes, it opens!

(Isn't my cluttered desk fantastic?)

So what's on the other side of the trap door you say? That's for you to find out!

Group stuff, yay!

So blogger has some really weird template for posting... I'm so confused. Anyways as you know my absence for posting is pretty much because of our team making the film and it was crunch time 24/7. But now it's summer I can post some group stuff I did for our film:

1st scene: Totally went for the ambitiousness and took up this explosion thing... Went through like 5 different versions and in the end I had to pass up the smoke effects to Reina... Yay for incompetence X'D Pretty much did everything except for the smoke animation. So compositing and backgrounds and all.


2nd scene: Just the animation, colored and cleaned. Ran into some hurdles figuring out her body behind the chair... and how her hand is on a different level... and some funny legs going on down there.


3rd scene: Haha it's the BG from the first scene all reused and repainted. Did everything, yay! :'D And I don't know why it's 10 seconds long! Some After Effects or Premier mistake I probably ran into! :D



Well in the end, I guess I can sum it up as... fun? It was stressful, and personally I thought I could have done better... Like everything else I did. Well it wasn't exactly fun... was it? I don't know, it's like the feeling after you beat a really really really hard video game marathon. Including some hating on yourself.
