Bored already

so a couple of days have past and I've already drawn 3 pictures...


Made another self portrait 
with lyrics from one of my favorite Avenged Sevenfold songs (Bat Country) 

And some random guy in a trench coat with MORE lyrics but from the main theme song of the show "Parasyte" (great show)
And finally one of my friends is big into The Walking Dead and loves Daryl Dixon
so I drew her dressed a little like Daryl for her birthday coming up.

First Uploaded Clip

So in class after Toonboom literally affected my ability to think, an hour of staring blankly at the roof and help from one of my class mates and the tutor (in which thank you btw) I finally managed to finish off this 2 second scene which could be better but I am still proud of.

Scene Backgrounds

For my animation it is set in a heavily polluted, Alien invaded Earth with constant fighting and storms. In class time I have drawn up backgrounds using photoshop for settings which I will animate over however I dont know if with red tinge in these pictures are to weak or strong so I have two versions of the two finished ones and an image of the third shot halfway done.











 






These are what the first two look like.





 
















Here is the second shot.







 This is the shot still being worked on.

Characters

So today I went into course to get some things done so far I have finished my character models 

This guy I am still thinking of a name for I would use my common character name "Miko" but this animation and my comic I am basing in the same universe.








This girl I WAS debating on the name "Kira"
but yet again that name is taken in the comic.










And here is a half finished... thing for the character bio of her

Toonboom Stuff

After hours of screaming in my head trying to figure out ToonBoom I've finally gotten some results on creating my characters...

I know he's not quite done yet the pain bucket is trying to be difficult...

Aaaand then theres the bad guy (girl) which obviously needs editing but will get on that once I've finished the guy.

2D Animation

For my animation I was looking at doing it around anime style since it is somewhat simple to draw and looks pretty badass if you pull it off.
e.g. (sure everyone knows what it is just covering my bases)













However I am borderline considering changing the whole thing to something stupid and funny not sure if I'll keep the same style or change it but this is IF I change the story.









I am not 100% sure what I hope to achieve with this other than making it work however.

I'm A Terrible Person...





So I was playing Mass Effect 2 again and for some reason I decided to take screenshots of the beginning scene (wont go into details in case someone reading this hasn't played the game before and intends on playing) I looked at this picture: 
I then thought "if I put in a microphone..."




 Thus I made this... being a huge fan of the very game franchise I feel terrible for doing this...

Two new drawings

Over the holidays things got boring so I tagged along with my friends into course and drew things here and there... My apologies if they freak you out

Here I decided to take Yes Man's creepiness and take it a step or two further... I'm going to hell for this...

 And here is a drawing of my comic character with a bit of inspiration of Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul...

P.S. I'm spooked too

Random creations


there have been times in class where I am up to date or I just cant carry on with work so I decide to just doodle...

for instance here is a jedi/sith person most likely sith I wanted to see more about the glow effects...


On the 48hr I was limited with tasks being a first year therefore I traced most of Kaneki and added a few thing in...


this I began on the 48hr but did get it done but within a week or so it got done


I am at the moment working on this

A few Animation scene ideas

It has been a while since I made a post so I figured I might as well keep up to date.

These are a few pictures of scenes I hope to put into my 2D animation in the feature.


This one of the main character (Farid) being held inside an alien pod


The main character standing in the smoke 

A camera view (which I will try and put more of in the full thing) of The main 
character running a muck


And the beginning of a fight scene between an alien in a mech suit and the main character
(which I am looking forward to seeing the complete animation)

Character Body


In class we are supposed to be doing our character "turn around" which I just finished however I feel there is more I can do to make it better










I had plenty of spare time afterwards but I felt like having some fun so I drew my character in this pose...














with still plenty of time left I drew up an idea for the alien antagonist
