Merry Christmas!

Further decorated my Christmas bags for my family and friends. It was a great Christmas this year, same routine as every year, though somehow it felt like the end of something. A lot was different, with a couple babies and a few lost loved ones. I think it may mark the arrival of new traditions next year. Maybe Christmas will be at another house next year? I will have to wait and see! Hope everyone's holiday was fantastic as well. On another note, I got a pajama set with a matching dog hat (I know, I'd be jealous too). Happy Holidays to everyone! :)

Gate Background Progress

An update on my background coloring! This is for a scene from my film, well a few scenes, and its almost there! I still need to add a bunch of bushes and trees and things, the drawbridge, and the platform that it opens onto. I will probably bust out the paper tomorrow to finish it for good! Finals work is kicking my butt but it'll be all over soon!

First Colored Scene!

First colored frame of my first completed scene!! I feel like I've passed a milestone for my film and I'll soon be able to bust out these puppies super quickly, though let's be honest... um, no. It's not completely done, though. I still  need to work out how to animate the leaves. I've done some tests but they aren't quite working out yet. I'm mainly focusing on my Mongol sequence, so hopefully I'll be able to post some new tests from that soon, once they stop looking so crappy :\

Background 14

Cut outs for a background for my film :) Made with painted water color paper, gouache on black paper, and black construction paper. I'm going to scan in and animate the leaf parts bc it's supposed to be windy in the scene.

Gate Background

Working on a background for my film! I am terrible at perspective, but in my defense the straight-roof look is on purpose! Slowly but surely...

Watercolor

Some watercolor studies, some old, one new.
