Concept art for a possible second year film...
I think I'm developing a style where I really depend on the background tone and color.

Film Poster

 

Here is the film poster to "Serenade to Miette", composition wise totally inspired by film posters of the 1930s to 1940s, since that's where the film is set around. It was first a thumbnail I never got to finish until now. Lately I have been heavily inspired by the composition and color choices of Kevin Dart, so I'm minimizing my color palette to find two to three main colors that really compliment each other.

And here's an abomination I found in my external drive... A very early design of the main character Milo.

 

Gross.

TD and TP

A little something about these two.
Based on my friends, Thahn Dang and Taylor Price

I think the Uncharted series is simply one of the best ever. 

I love stylizing characters that are meant to look realistic, and giving them some edge. I tried to play with the shapes and poses so that it matches the personality of the original game characters.

Possible Style for next film sketches

I don't have a solid idea yet, but here are some drawings for what I have, or had in mind! I want to go for a style: not exactly the flash lineless style, but shapes and lines supported by textured gradients I don't know if it makes sense.

And heres something I recently colored!

Life Drawing May 20 2011 + 2nd year film doodles

Life drawing...

To me, technical life drawing is overrated. Then again, expressive and artistic life drawing is also overrated. Although I think this, I do it.

Because either way, it's fun stuff.

And here's some thoughts process on a 2nd year film? My ideas will always change, but sometimes, I like to be loose and come up with stories and ideas.

I think I will have a female lead for my next one. Not sure yet.

The Red Cat (My part)

My portfolio

Here is my general animation portfolio... Since I had no idea what I wanted to go for.
At the moment, I'm more towards Visual Development and Animation

but story is something I've been slowly taking an interest in.

Something for my film composer

For Phillip Wareborn's orchestra score!

Animation Midterm test

Yeah.. we had a midterm assignment in Animation class today...
So we had to pick two words, and animate a character from a model sheet.

My words were uhm... "Floppy Rage."

Production pipeline for "Serenade to Miette"

In all honesty, I'm kind of disappointed that it didn't turn out like the graphic iconic monochromatic feel I had planned out, that was seen in the animatic. So next time and next year, those are the things I will focus on. I'll apply more of that sepia - tonish feel in the final film, a long with a lot of overlaying layers of masks.

The process to the film is that all the animation is done with colerase and 4B-6B pencils, which are then scanned and colored by hand on Photoshop. Man this process really bites, but it does contain so much more raw energy than what a lot of pure digital films have. I might not use paper for my future films here since I do aim to have finished and longer films...
