scrap book blog

I decided to start a blog separate from my other blogs and use it as a scrap book blog, just so I could keep track of everything that I have been doing or watching, plus I can refer to it from any blogs I have in the future

Animation so far

Ok I haven't updated in a very long time, so I am going to put up all of the animation that I have done so far, even the bits that need redoing.

ok so firstly I have started to redo it in Photoshop because I think its quicker and easier as it cuts out the time of taking photos and putting them on my laptop and then putting them all together.

the video is to big to put on Blogger so please click Here


The happy walk cycle at the start is pretty much traced from the original and needs redoing because it jumps to much.

I'm happy with the football kick which I completely redid

the steps he does when he is walking towards the boulders look very stompy probably because I only put one in-between in to make it look hurried, so I may redo that if I have time.

I'm quite happy with the pushing bit, because I think it looks like he is really straining against the rock. In the ones where he is stationary (like when his back is against the rock) I drew very carefully over the rock so it wouldn't appear as shakey and then I drew very quickly over the top of the character so he appeared to shake with the strain of trying to move the boulder, it was a something that I saw used in Bleach (an anime) I noticed that whenever a character was straining against something they would shake so I thought I would try it out, and I am quite happy with the result
