CelAction2D testing

Posted on March 10, 2014 by jonnyh5

After weeks of getting the animatic sorted out, I am now starting to start of my animation. Firstly, I have been testing in CelAction2D with simple character designs that will be in the animation. To start with a squirrel that we see at the start of the animation, I started to work on simple walk cycles, run cycles and experiment with shadow effects too on Monday (3/3/14).

Then I imported a rough version of Claudius on Tuesday (4/3/14), this time I worked on a simple walk cycle and an improve one from yesterday. Also, experiment with shadow effects, and simple expression with Claudius as-well.

Then finally on Friday (7/3/14), I done an much improve version of Claudius with any colour. However, I didn’t had anytime to animate him in CelAction2D.

More time in CelAction2D next week with more character development I am hoping to do.

Bye.

Coachmen and Footmen for forth coming project

Posted on July 13, 2013 by jonnyh5

Character designs for the forth coming project with the British Postal Museum and Archive (BPMA). First I started off by drawing down some rough ideas of my coachmen and footmen may look like.

Then I continue with character designs more with some more drawings with some added colour below.

Then I gone into Illustrator, this time I drawn down what the characters will look like in Illustrator, would be easily to animated in After Effects.

Instant feedback, I needed to added some rough outside lines to the characters which I’ve shown in the concept art perviously showed.

So I went back to drawing board and added some rough outside lines to the characters in Illustrator as shown below.

Now it’s time to animate in After Effects.

Finished Character designs

Posted on January 4, 2013 by jonnyh5

First Post of 2013.

So here are my finished character designs for “Iceman” in his old age, middle age and his young age. The young Iceman is very addicted to choc-ice. While the middle age Iceman is a bit of a playboy and a bit of a boozer. While the old age Iceman is more wiser than the young and middle age Iceman’s combined. So here’s the character designs below.
