hello again.
i thought i was done testing various techniques and mediums, but then i came to think of 3d...
so, here's my sub girl in all her openGL glory:

whale in distress

Brom — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:15:33 +0000

here’s a little peek at the whale that our little heroic crab encounters in the introduction.

work is going slowly, but steadily. i haven’t done any big changes to my original story, i’ve only added a few elements and scenes so that i’ll have more material when the time comes for editing the whole thing.

stills

here are a couple of stills from the animation. i guess i’m happy with the style, i want it to look a bit silly.

i’m hoping to see this thing finished in a year or so.

working on a few concepts for another one of my three hundred million ideas for animated short films. this one takes place underwater – minus the wet element. the story may have an underlying ‘what is happening to our environment’-thing going on, though, as always, i’ve based the story on strange ideas that came to me in dreams, and i want to focus on the surreal.

flight test

i may have found a way around the problem with my computer crashing. i just have to do the most intensive motions (backgrounds, mostly) in portions – let’s say if a sequence is 200 frames long, i can just split it into segments of 20-30 frames and render them with a small pause in between. sounds dull? it is.

i’ve done some work on the bird who’s introducing the whole story. have a look:

and some details:

what is this all about?

rolling with a limp

okay, i’m slowly progressing on the animation. most of the character development is in the finishing stages, and i’ve started doing a few backgrounds. the thing is, my computer, all tough and brand new with a supposedly very powerful graphics card one and a half year ago, really isn’t that bad ass after all. i have regular crashes when doing the slightest little test render, and also while applying simple adjustments and motion.

this is a major setback.

so from now on i’ll concentrate on the char development and as i said, the backgrounds. maybe, some time in the not too distant future, i’ll be able to afford a small hardware upgrade.

here’s a peek at what i’m doing right now:

currently

i’m working on a personal animation project involving among other things a foul bus, a freak, a blonde with a dog, an old man and a cyclist.

it’s a traditional 2d animation with no keyframing (except maybe backgrounds), and with an action driven story.

i’m trying to set it in a world we’ve never seen. some characters are in part developed by my brother, which opens up a whole new world of absurd types.

expect unusual anatomy.
expect vehicles with feet.
expect balloons and birds.

here’s a quick and dirty main character test.

the main character. he’s a bit of an outcast, a freak if you will. his arms are too short, and he’s got tremendous difficulties making friends with anyone or anything.

first public illustration

Brom — Mon, 04 May 2009 10:15:27 +0000

got my first job. the task was to illustrate an article in ‘fett‘ magazine, june double edition. the article was, in short, about ziggy stardust being a better role model for young feminists than simone de beauvoir.

i did three versions of a ziggy/simone split-personality figure. after a short correspondance, the editors finally (and to my surprise) decided they just wanted a simple portrait of simone de beauvoir instead.
