Character sheet and a ruff test

Hi,
Working hard at animating, so took no time to post. Here's an update:
I needed to design the "threat-turning-into-comfort" figure that appears in the storyboard. It's the boy's lovely old neighbour.
Fat and happy, as they need to be :d I had been having trouble finding the right face for her. Some really awful attempts..
Luckily I came in harmony with the style chosen for the boy, so in that length I went on and came up with these:







Ruff test of a flying scene:




Onto my digital pegs, again! See ya!

And some more!

Hey,

Been pretty busy with the backgrounds. Here's another bunch of them.
I have a couple of backgrounds left to make, but I'm kinda stuck on them. From the storyboardframes where the toy-boat and pluche are taking off to the skies. I'd like them to be dreamy so maybe I'll try some pastellish stuff. Don't know yet.
The majority of backgrounds are finished so it's time to put them behind eachother and time the animation, trying to act out the scenes. No there won't be any videomaterial available of that. :-)







In the meantime I'm improving my drafting skills so I'm doing figure drawings. Haven't taken the time yet to scan them in, but I will. I'm really determined to get the skills down, cause there's so much room for improvement. Soon a figure drawing course will start in my hometown, which I will be attending. Looking forward to that!

More backgrounds

Here's two more I created after my last blogdump.





The size of the last one is 3200 pixels wide and 1800 high. I'm using it for a zoom-out shot, as seen in the moving storyboard. In Toon Boom I can make use of the 3d camerasystem and have this image pull back from the lift-off-to-flight-character in the foreground. This image took most of my time, because of the scenery. It has to look like people are living their lives in it, so I kept adding details. I'm letting it go for now, cause I've been starig at it too much!
Time for a different palet now, as we go indoors and slightly creepy. Stay tuned! Oh and dear readers: please kick me in the head with corrections, comments or other useful things!
