Now that Comic-Con Megaman Cosplay insanity was done, and Final Fantasy Football was wrapped up at Anime Expo, I decided that for far too long I had neglected to do what is perhaps most important for an artist animator and draftsman: Fill sketchbooks. I was terrible at making myself sketch in college and for five years out here, and it was time to get to it. It was intensely uncomfortable at first. Just going from the Cintiq back to paper was an adjustment. With any luck, the progress is evident as these are in chronological order. About halfway through I had just turned in what I felt was another terrible female model session. I couldn't do good faces quickly with a few strokes, or nail down appealing body shapes. I sat down with a veteran guy at WB, and for about an hour he pawed through my sketchbook. He gave me tons of abstract advice, none of which I remember verbally, but that I think showed it's affect on the work that took place afterwards.</div>

I think my time here at MAD has filled my brain with mush-up-itis, so I ended up combining two things I love into a fun bunch of exercises. One day on a poorly maintained football field in the slums of Midgar, our protagonists and antagonists took to the gridiron to settle things in what would be the greatest game of football ever played.<br />
<br />
I tried to improve my skills along the way and feel I learned some good things about color, lighting, cloth, composition, and design. At my DeviantArt, I wrote a small blurb for each piece and some quotes by other characters of the series about the piece's star to add some richness to the story.<br />

I dibbed Megaman and thus commited myself to quite a challenge. I decided if I was going to put a costume together, I couldn't halfass it with cardboard and duct tape. So I set forth to aim for quality while also winging it from start to finish. Here's how it went down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Starting out, I decided that the helmet was the most important piece of the Megaman pie, with the buster coming in a close second. I knew a paper machet or foam one would not cut it, so I decided to invest a little money in a European style motorcycle helm. The GLX satisfied the retro Megaman look the best and getting it in white would be perfect for a spraypaint job.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While the helmet dried, I turned my attention to the Buster. Again, if I could find a ready made piece of construction for cheap, I was going to go with it. Wandering around a Big 5, I knew the second I saw this giant travel mug that it would make a great megabuster. At 12.99$, there were no excuses available.</div><br />

I put a nail through the side of the mug and through the bottom of the handle, then gluegunned the top.

Knocked out shot 2 just in time. Had my good friend in Chicago Adam do some excellent Samurai Vocals. He went above and beyond what I expected and turned out samples super fast. Here are some fun stills as well.<br />

What I've been working on.<iframe width="420" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tbqCrxHjPBE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
Go watch this in HD. I got a 1080P Version on youtube that does the details alot more justice.<br />
<br />
The first of ten shots, none of which will be related to each other. The goal is for each shot to be better than anything currently on my demo reel. This one was fully finished composited with a BG, the next might just be the rough animation, who knows. <br />
<br />
I've also been taking an advanced life drawing class, will try to get some scans up at some point. At least there's an update here.Dr. Ew Newmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00215276380195770224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470401069922911051.post-55155065779330691342011-09-01T00:06:00.000-07:002011-09-01T00:13:44.396-07:00Deep Sea SubBusted out some more concept. Think I'm getting somewhere. Can I manage to capture a quality that professional daily concept artists achieve and still work in animation? My goal is to get to the point where if I crouch real low I can jump up and scratch that ceiling with my index finger. Dropped a process image bellow too in case anyone wants to take a gander at how I'm doing this stuff and has suggestions for improvement.<br />
<br />
And yeah, at 16 bits I had some banding in the background, but opted to keep it since this ship is so deep in the ocean and who knows what things look like down there.<br />

I love sci fi and i fell in love with vegas. Why not mix them? I'm starting to think about the possibility of doing a film thats perhaps... more goofy and fun, while still pushing my skills to their limits and maxing out production quality. I already did a film about a lone female warrior struggling to survive a harsh environment, perhaps I can come back to it later. I guess I'm mulling things. I like what I have so far for my sci fi film and where my Eva designs have gone, but something about the film as it stands feels like it will be very laborious, whereas when I picture a sci fi film that takes place on a space elevator and casino as it rises up into the cosmos I am flush with ideas that would mix good character development with quirky plot possibilities and stunning visuals that are also fun to do. I was intensely passionate about finishing Klare two years ago, if I'm going to put the time and tears into another 5-10 minute film, I have to be just as passionate about doing it or the project will crush me as I pressure myself never to leave any project unfinished. Decisions decisions. <br />
<br />
Would YOU like to see a film that takes place in this casino elevator to the stars?<br />

Man do I hate animatics. I just want to animate and paint bgs! But its all for nothing if the film doesn't flow right or make any sense, so I must press on, get this animatic done, and show it to some trusted people to figure out what confuses them, what can be better, what can be more interesting, involving, and pump the emotion. If I can make you care about this character in 10 minutes, I will feel I have accomplished what all artists set out to do: Make you give a crap.<br />

In any case, I was excited that he found my blog and liked my concepts enough to do some based off my character.<br />
<br />
Basically Jeremy has drawn girls a shit ton more than I have, is a better draftsman, and better character designer. This is what you get when you put your ego aside and let someone help you out. After looking at some of his Eva sketches, I revamped my design and this is what I have so far. I'd be much more stoked to draw this face 900,000 times than the ones in previous posts. Anyhow, as usual, I'm still going to work out kinks and draw her from other angles until shes really settled in and im done with my animatic (which is 5 minutes long so far...).<br />

Im in the midst of taking two weeks off from WB to get my act together more. Definitely have had more time to get my space film into gear. Spent much time on my first background, nailed Eva's character model down some more, and did a composite of what the final shot can look like, airbrushing and all.<br />

So I'm all moved in. Finally have working internet. Finally uploading what I've been up to the last month. Seeing it all together makes me feel like I haven't completely stopped drawing. Think the new place is finally all settled, no more furniture purchases, craziness, or bug problems. Brief descriptions of what's here bellow:<br />

Computer is all hooked up again and I have a good amount of stuff to toss up here. It's obviously impossible to be productive when you have to move, and I was under no illusions I'd be drawing a lot while packing and unpacking and setting up the new place was a priority. <br />
<br />
Anyways, Here's an episode I recently worked on. I did the music video for the Fresh Prawn mashup, and had a little hand in the spy vs spy clip.<br />

Keeping the drawings to a small postit pad and scanning the batch in. Been having fun with small shuttles and space ships, as well as random crosshatched animal characters. Keeping the 50 cent piece for size. Also threw in some scaled down storyboards I've been working on for my next film that will probably take two years to complete. I hate the storyboard phase so much. Gotta plow through though! <br />

Settling into her face and will probably draw it a bunch more before the model is fully settled in. Toying with doing more than just black outline in some areas, but it will have to be really worth it as varying line color in the animation process can be a real cumbersome task. <br />

I'm hesitant to show her character model around because I've noticed that everyone's first judgement is that she is not pretty. Well send me the crap to hell for not giving her long hair, a huge rack, a stupid and impractical outfit, and a big dumb grin on her face while she's flying through the air killing robots. Animation is plenty saturated with that shit already. Maybe I'm being somewhat feminist about it but I'd like to do something different and honestly I've always found short hair and a mildly androgynous look very attractive.<br />
<br />
Also been doing floorplans. Not exciting but highly necessary for continuity and cohesiveness.<br />

My buzzwords for 2011 are stability, steadiness, focus, productivity, peace, and calmness. Here's some concept work for the new film. Her working name is Eva, and shes one very, very tired astronaut. Got the inks and some lighting studies. Assume the green is some sort of computer screen.<br />

Getting to do a variety of tasks and wear many hats. It's an intimate crew at a large company, which is the best of both worlds. Loving being union so far. Pay is weekly.<br />
<br />
I have decided to dedicate myself to doing at least one postit note sketch each day at work to loosen up and practice goal-less drawing. I figured it'd be fun to compile a summary each month and see what I've been pulling randomly from my ass. Threw in a fiddy cent piece for size recognition.<br />

Walking a comfortable path along the lines of androgyny. Eva, her working name, is an astronaut stranded in space. There is no motivation for makeup, and long hair is not a luxury she can afford either, as it gets ratty and can obscure her vision at the most inopportune moments. Weary eyed and struggling through a multitude of psychological symptoms that come with being completely isolated, I want to show the wear and tear but still demonstrate that this is a woman who does not fold. When designing the original character, a lot of my friends stated that they did not like her nose, to which I replied "neither does she." <br />

I'm taking sketching for environment, which is teaching me how to plan out and render backgrounds for film and animation. It's a great intro class and I'm pushing myself on homework as much as I can. I'm cleaning up and trying to get at least one possible portfolio piece out of each assignment.<br />
<br />
We're not even supposed to be rendering right now. All line work. I couldn't help but add 2 tones to help the mood of the piece. Bellow is a cleaned up photoshop sketch of a smaller sketch I did while our class took a field trip downtown to the Bradbury Building, which was used in the filming of Blade Runner. Needless to say, the place has too much detail to ever fully render. <br />

These are 5 minute or less thumbnails I did on site. Pretty much 1-2 inches wide each of these. Part of our homework was to pick one of them to take home, blow up, and do a larger version of. I picked the one that would make my life the most difficult.<br />

Soon enough I'll be able to put my new demo reel on the internet. Here's a video I never linked to that I'm throwing up here since I haven't updated in a bit. They gave me this entire opening hoverdrum action sequence to animate and then at the end have a montage of clips from the rest of the new episodes to get fans juiced.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Basically every part of the ship needs to be operable in a vertical and horizontal state. She can crawl in horizontally through the hatch, and there are ladder rungs that pop out of the floor when the ship is vertically spiked on a planets surface. It acts as survey tower and pilots chair. When preparing for hyper speeds, the pod will fill with a *futury* gel that absorbs all shock and shaking the ship will undergo at high speeds. Every get annoyed when people would get tossed across the bridge in star trek because seat-belts had been outlawed? Not here. <br />
