Fat character ink

Just finished doing the inking on the 3/4 pose of my fat character. I used the brush tool instead of the pen tool. I'm not sure about the line weights though. I'm a little new at using the brush tool, but I wanted to see if using the brush tool with pressure made a difference in how the character looked.



Feedback would be great!!

Character for fat walk cycle

So I went home yesterday after class and started working on sketches for a fat character for a walk cycle.

Here are some body sketches, I picked the one with the check mark above it.




Here are some face sketches:




And here's the sketch of my turn around:




Tomorrow I'm going to clean this up in flash and begin working on the rough animation for his walk cycle!

Feedback would be great!!

So, for the rest of the week I'll be sketching and making model sheets for all of the characters I'll be using.

Feedback would be appreicated.

Start Senior Project 1 Work!!

My schedule is going to be pretty busy.

The things I'll be doing is:

1. A short shopping sequence line test
2. A lip sync sequence line test
3. A fat character walk cycle line test
4. A fat character walk cycle ink and paint
5. A cut animation walk cycle

I have about 3 months or so to finish all of this, and I will (somehow.)

I've got it all planned out. This week I will finish storyboards and character models.


I've already gotten started with the shopping sequence. It will be an animation of a little girl walking in the city, she passes a shop window with a sign on it. It is an ad for a big sale. The girl will do a facial take, then it will show the girl skipping away with shopping bags.

Oh look, a background!

Now, I've never been really good at backgrounds or perspective but this one didn't turn out too bad. Maybe because I got to make it in flash. It was supposed to be based on a short story "The Life You Save Might Be Your Own" by Flannery O'Connor.
It ended up morphing into more of a spooky scooby doo thing. Well, at least it's Halloween, almost.

UPDATE!

Ok, so a new quarter of school has started, so of course I've been busy. I want to post a little of what I did last quarter. (I'm still working on Blair work, but I'll post that when I get to a scanner.

So further down on my blog, I have an animatic of a little story I had to make for a class. Here's the character:




Here he is with 3 different ink and paint options:




I picked the third for my final project.

I'll post that in my next post! Feedback would be awesome!
