Ol buddy ol pal

Day 5. A couple pals.

A favourite place?? That's real?

Ugh, so many hard questions. I don't have a favourite animal or food! And the fourth day is your favourite place! Well, this will have to do. My room has a bed (complete with gaudy covers), and an animation desk. A scanner to scan, and a computer to browse. Kinda dark though. That desk isn't so tidy irl btw - it's missing an awful lot of figurines.

I would have liked to try stylizing it, but I waited too long. Next time!!

Nanaimo Bars!!

Freaking love 'em. A bakery near me used to make coffee and vanilla flavoured ones too. But then they stopped :'( Anywho, day 3 was your favourite food. I have a bunch, but this is what popped up. 30 day challenge from here. This particular challenge was originally meant for facebook, but I recently killed mine. Soooo yeah.

Penguins!

This one was hard. Turns out, I've never thought about what my favourite animal is. Penguins are cool, so, penguins.

Kneecap Homer

Another ABB topic. I really should have paid more attention to how the hat was situated. I wanted to have the luminescent white eyes, but it hurt, so I darkened them.

30 Days

Trying this 30 Day Drawing Challenge. Never tried one before, so I wanted to give it a shot. Anywho, first one is yourself! Ain't he adorable!?

Oh James...

Another ABB "Bond's Worst Nightmare". My Bond looks suspiciously like Fallout's vault boy...

Didn't know Photoshop could do animated gifs, so I wanted to give it a try. Pretty neat, albeit really unwieldly when it comes to timing. I have a pretty good feel for how long frames last. But 0.2 of a second... no idea. Their choice of interface doesn't help. Turns out that it runs at different speeds on different browsers too. BUT!! It's awesome for short and simple gifs. I'll definitely be doing this more often.

The doodle concept.

Sticky

Sticky fingers. Ahhhhhhh!

Another one for ABB; "The thing(s) that scare you most". While I'm not scared of this, I don't really like getting gunky. I need to psyche myself up before I dive into ribs and the like :| .

(yes yes, I know his arm is hella long - that's what happens when you draw without thinking)

Zombie Hatter Guy

 Still trying to get comfortable with Painter. Having a bit more fun now though.

WIPy stuff. The one on the left was originally blue line, and much MUCH lighter. Had to fiddle to make it visible at all. I don't like doing a second pass on a new sheet; animation or not, so I go over top, then strip out the blue with Photoshop. Nifty stuff. And stroke is awesome.

I noticed I treat drawing differently between animation and illustration. I really should start approaching these as I would a key.

Orange

I missed a bit on the expression I was going for, I'll try again later. Ah, Charmander. I started with Yellow, so I got all the starters. Perhaps I'll draw some more 'mons later.
