<strong>..is four years of my life.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I cleaned out the closet today and this had been in the back of my mind for a while. I'm never going to go back to these projects. I'm never going to scan, rework, or need any of these drawings. I'm bad about amassing "STUFF" and being emotionally attached to too many inanimate things. 2D animation takes up a lot of space. All of this paper is going into the recycling bin.<br />
<br />

<br />
I <em>am</em> keeping my senior film (for now; it takes up less space than I thought) and a few choice bits and pieces from various projects (like my very first bouncing ball assignment).<br />
<br />

If you haven't seen The Amazing World of Gumball, get off the internet right now and go watch it...unless you need the internet to watch it. in which case it's ok.<br />

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i got some new drawing stuff i wanted to break in and, when in doubt, there's always sailor moon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I got several different colors of Pentel color eno 0.7 lead which I love. I really like drawing with colored lead, but those Staedler drafting pencil leads are so thick, it's nearly impossible to get any detail in. The Pentel hi-polymer soft eraser also does a kickass job of erasing those colored pencil lines which can often be stubborn. I also got a 0.4 Pilot Hi-Tec-C black pen which I adore. It feels so awesome to draw with and I love the loose line quality. Happiness is new art supplies!</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09351039989630431129noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454127642424092079.post-77063543740287549442011-03-14T21:18:00.001-04:002011-03-14T21:21:06.538-04:00vesta doodlehi blog. still here, just not a lot of time for arts right now.<br />

It's early on (in the process and the month) so feel free to critique. Just know I've barely touched the dude on the right, I just put him there to giver her a set spot to look at.<br />
<br />
Pardon the ghosting at the beginning. For WIP posts I'll only give Flash 15 minutes to stop being a bitch and export properly. I think I tried atleast 6 times with the same result. What's up with that, Adobe? Didn't have that problem in Flash 8, now, did we?<br />

<br />
edit: holy crap the beginning looks washed out on that player. i'll fix it in the next post :/<br />
<br />
double edit: there seems to be issues viewing the video in Safari. it works fine in Firefox and Chrome, though. again, something i'll look into for the next post.</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09351039989630431129noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454127642424092079.post-69629373340164556972011-02-03T08:27:00.000-05:002011-02-03T08:27:16.280-05:0011 Second Club - character designI got really excited when I heard this month's <a href="http://www.11secondclub.com/competitions/current/">11 second club clip</a> and immediately started brainstorming how to reinterpret it. I think a lot of times when you know the source material it can be harder to break away to do something different since you already have that preconceived idea of what the actor is doing.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after a few scrapped ideas I came to this. I haven't even started boarding yet so the design might change a little, but overall I like her. I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew with her design. I have to keep reminding myself that it's February so I don't have quite as many days as usual.<br />
