Backgrounds!

  These are some of the backgrounds for my student project

The establishing shot!

The castle whole shot ended up a lot more...Sci-fi than I had wanted but I'm liking the overall feel so I think I'll run with it.

And the throne room which is kinda the book ends of the movie. I really wanted to put lots of natural elements into the man made structures, so trees and...flowery things. Honestly this clashes a bit with the Austere king (Whom I haven't finalized yet) who might need some flower power.

Action Analysis

Probably the longest thing I've had to do, which is probably why I left it unfinished. This was a test on weight shifting and balance.

Water Splash

This was an animation test based in nature, which was weird since we had never done anything like this before. Challenging but very interesting!

Wall Fall

This was an animation test based on weight.

Assets from my student project

 

Some trees

 Prince Marcher ~ Our hero

 Prince Gobreau ~ The spineless wimp

 Prince Fanfaronade ~ The man who would be king

These are some actors and some of the backgrounds that I have made for my student project. It's a fairy tale that I adapted from The Golden Mermaid.

I've changed quite a bit of the story giving the role of the wolf with an enchantment instead that activates three times. I'm going for a paper cutout sort of feel with much inspiration drawn from Lotte Reiniger.

I don't think I'm going to get it finished by the end of the semester since I've been lollygagging a wee bit ... But I'm going to give it my best shot!

Problems

So can't post animations for some reason... Looking into this.

Grumpy Owl

A piece I completed for Life drawing last year.

And lo' my mild love for ink and wash was born.
