Major: animation test

A quick test using After Effects and Plotaverse.

            

Major: The 'in between' model

After a discussion with Phil, I need to make small steps in the 3D world and create something to be in my animation. There was the idea of a model of the design phase of my drawings, which I could model and rig quickly, that can be a part of the story. Below is the rough drawings, orthographs, and modelling process.

Major: Rough storyboard

This rough storyboard follows my 'script'.

Major: Desert projection mapping test

To create some 3D elements for the backgrounds, Alan suggested to do 'projection mapping' - modelling planes and projecting my painting onto them. The effect is quite unique, however I'm unsure about using this in my final film, as I'm not sure how to navigate and I would prefer to model the terrain.

                                                                                                                                                       
           

Major: How it feels to draw; process video

"When i draw, it feels as though light is shining through my chest, through my brain and my wrist is creating life. It's bliss."

Some more visualisations of this quote. I also recorded a small portion of me creating the lineart in OBS, but i need to find a better programme and find how to speed things up:


       



        

Major Project: How it feels to draw

"When i draw, i'm a bird flying through a vast desert, drawing my wing-tips through the ornage sand."

Major Project: Drawings and me

For my Major project, Phil, Alan and I have come up with something quite unique to create. It will focus on me and my drawings, and how drawing makes me feel. The final product will aim to be a documentary-style animation with 2D and 3D elements, with as much of my art incorporated as possible.

Phil and I exchanged emails and slowy have built a 'script' - with me answering questions, such as how i cope with depression and anxiety through drawing. I'm incredibly excited to do this project!

The following pictures are of a character that will be focused on quite alot; his name is Yuurichi, an original character I created almost 10 years ago, and whom I draw alot. All are drawn by me:

For some of the more finished pieces, I would love to animate them like this:
