Rebound Colored Version 1

Yo.

Here is one colored version of Rebound. I will probably go back and do the coloring differently later on, just to compare. Here I just colored under the sketchy lines. At some point I want to clean the lines up and fix a couple things, but for now... Enjoy!

Quick Comrade Portrait

Hi!

This was kind of an accident. I was just playing around in Photoshop, just doing very sketchy, very loose images just for fun, and I did this one of The Comrade, and well, I am very pleased with it. So here it is!

Rebound

Hello again.

Here is a sketch I did inspired by the Teenage Bottlerocket song "Rebound". I will color it shortly, but I don't really know how I want to go about it just yet.

The Comrade Strikes!

Hey! The other day I was able to get some work done on an action sequence I wanted to board out. A month ago I did roughly three pages worth of thumbnails depicting a battle between The Comrade and his natural enemy. Here are the first four pages of boards. Enjoy!

PS: Please forgive the campy dialogue. I have not yet written a script or anything.

Oh No!

Ugh I don't feel so hot....

Naw I'm just joshing, but I do like this tiny little sketch I did of a "person getting sick". So I colored it quickly and slapped that sucker on here.



I promise the next time I post something hand drawn, it won't be a tiny little sketch! Promise!

All Nite Dinah Characters

Hello!

Just a quick update today. These are the character "puppets" for the All Nite Dinah short, which will eventually have it's own name.



I may or may not make the monster bigger. I kind of like the idea of the kids being frightened by such a small creature.

All Nite Dinah! (Updated)

Note: I changed the sail, so instead of putting up a new post, I just updated this first one. Enjoy!

Hello!

Ok so a bit of a story here.

When I first took Animation 1, we did the on stand animation, which basically boiled down to cut out animation. I loved it, and one day while listening to Venice Shoreline Chris's song "All Nite Dinah", the idea of doing a cut out animation about two kids sailing to an island and having a little adventure came to me.

I did some designs, and put the whole thing aside in order to work on school stuff. Recently, two things have made me re-think this project.

The first was when Patrick mentioned he had rigged a character in Flash "puppet style". The second was when someone mentioned using Flash in order to make puppet-like animations. Puppets = cut outs!

So I decided to start tackling this project. I thumbnailed some shots out, and here is a rough version of one of the opening shots. I am not loving the sail, so I need to go back to fix it, but for now it's ok.

I was going for a kinda child-like look, which is why some of the colors don't fill in the shapes entirely.

I dunno, I am excited about this!



Lemme know what you think!
