More Character Designs

Here are a couple more images from a character I designed. We were supposed to make a character and draw it in different styles. Here is a comic book rendition and a style of one of my favorite artist's, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway.






Hope you guys like 'em!

As for Sonic, I've been working on it a little bit every few days. Act 2 should be finalized by the end of the month. I'm excited!

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica

Hey guys. Act 2 is being pushed hard as I want that out of the way before I continue work on Act 3. I've been working on it here and there, quite a few hours logged over the weekend already. All of the animation is done for the last part of Act 2. All that's left is color, cleanup, and backgrounds which makes me happy. The project is still on track for a Christmas 2009 release as everything is looking good.

Here's some stuff I've been working on at school. The assignment was to draw a hero and a villain. More stuff to come soon.



Enjoy!

Total Time for February: 9 hours

Posters and Pies

School is full swing, I try to do my homework during downtime that pops up often and when homework is complete and downtime still remains, I end up working on CC.

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I made chicken pot pies for dinner. I cut out Sonic on one of them.



On another note, last semester we had a business project to do which involved an animated trailer and promotional ads for the movie and production company. We chose to use CC because...well, the trailer was done. My girlfriend ended up drawing a promotional poster for Cosmic Chase in her own style and I think it turned out really good.



Total Hours for January: 9h 30m

Hyper Sonic

Here is the finalized animation of Hyper Sonic previously showcased last week. It shows all of the steps taken to get a sketch into full color. Hope you guys enjoy it.

New Prelim

Here's a little something for you patient fans of mine:


Here's a preliminary sketch of Hyper Sonic looking badass. Another shot from the final seconds of Act 2. This image is solid proof that progress is being made, albeit a slow pace.

Weekly Update #07

OK, so, here's a screenshot.
You may recognize this image as the prelim was posted 10 months ago. The entire 60 frame animation of this shot has been completed, and this is just one of them. This takes place at the end of Act 2 after Sonic becomes hyper. Hope you guys like it.

8-3 - 8-9: 15 hours 15 minutes

Weekly Update #06

Lots of progress made this week. The new workflow seems to be very helpful in the development of accurate timing. The Act 2 pencil test has been finished and has received Ido's approval. There were a few things changed in terms of timing and shot composition, but it's good to go. It came to about 13-14 seconds of new animation over the course of 6 shots.

In other news, I'm still finalizing one of the shots with color so I can post a screenshot. Coloring it takes so long because the shot is over 30 hand drawn frames for 2 characters. It may take some time, but giving you guys some eye candy is a high on my to do list.

7-27 - 8-2: 17 hours

Preliminary Drawing and Ink

Here's a screenshot of Sonic vs. Shadow from act 2. It's been a while since I've last worked on this shot so it's not finished but this is always how the first steps come out looking.
