Shadows

I was messing about in Photoshop and found out that the CS6 version have an animation mode. So I have been doing a bit more testing in regards to my Phaze Animations logo. I wanted the Aida to go from white to black slowly so it looked like a shadow coming across. There is still a long way to go and here is and example that I am most pleased with. I may also do some test in Toom boom to see what effect I can get.

Some Garden Gang images.

Here are a few drawing I did for the Garden Gang project. I still need to work on Owen Onion's colour    and also experiment on what media to use. Im thinking of doing some drawing using paint to see how they look.

This picture is of Olivia Orange first discovering the "Weed" I have used coloured pencils for this and I like the way the shading has worked on the plants.

Logo Pattern

Going to be doing an ident for my animation. so I have done some test and made up a pattern all I need to do is get the materials and animate it.

Fly Windstorm

This is a character that I have had in my head for a while. This is Fly Windstorm, she has robotic hands and the power to shoot bolts of electricity from them. For this picture I have done a lot of experimenting with different effects like gradients, glows, the burn and dodge tool.

All Finished

I have finally finished my Lightning bird animation. About a hunter that goes to kill the legendary lightning bird  with surprising consequences. You can watch it here.

Many Backgrounds

Here are a few backgrounds that I have designed for my Lightning bird animation. Wanted to keep the spooky midnight feel there through out the animation.

Hunter and the Lightning Bird (Impundulu)

Here are the final designs for my Lightning Bird (Impundulu)  animation. The Hunter is going to try and catch the bird with surprising consequences. Here I have experimented with gradient as shading and I think it has worked out pretty well might do more of it. In the mean time if you want to have a look at the animatic for these characters then here it is https://vimeo.com/52530577 I am currently working on the riggs for both of these in Toon Boom.
