So it’s been a while
since I’ve posted any real art here, apart from that one link to the thread with the photographs of my 24-hour comic, so I thought I’d change that. About damn time, too!
Last week was project week for our school! Normally this would mean that we’d be forced to pick some project or other having to do with the week’s special theme, the theme being Slow on this case. I’m not usually too fond of project weeks since the projects we can choose from generally don’t have anything to do with whatever we actually want to learn about, which is animation in the case of my classmates and myself.
We were lucky this week, however, as the head of our animation department was organising a little thing where we were supposed to create short, half-minute-long or so animations to accompany fragments from audiobooks. This was in cooperation with the public library in an effort to make children more interested in reading. Also it allowed us to ignore the usually-restrictive and tedious theme of the week. Noble AND fun! Yay!
My group picked a fragment from Ronia the Robber’s Daughter by Astrid Lindgren. It was fun. I did the backgrounds and some concept sketches, all of which were done on one of the school’s Cintiqs. A terrible decision in retrospect, since now I can never go back to feeble normal tablets.
But anyway, have some stuff:
And now some sketches:
That’s about it for now. I hope you like them, because I liked playing around with them. Cintiqs are really extremely neat. Also, if you’ve got any helpful tips don’t hesitate to share. I’m tuckered out now and I need to get up early tomorrow to have my picture taken, after which I’ll go to Rotterdam for a few days to play more Brütal Legend and go to a friend’s birthday party.
Good night!
