Begin: Three/ Seven Deadly Sins!

Yay for the 7 deadly sins!!! [in this case, the three deadly sins, haha.]

I was wondering if it was bad to have two different styles.  I drew the last one, sloth [with the girl holding the wine] not really caring about how I drew the two previous ones, but a friend told me that it would be better to have a cohesive style.  I asked another friend who told me that it's fine to have totally different styles as long as you have collections of both [so they make more sense].  Either way I think their advice makes sense although I haven't drawn anything else in the same style as the last one.  


I'd like to see if anyone can guess what sin is what drawing!!!

 

The first one: Vanity/ second one: Gluttony/ third one: Sloth.  For Sloth I went along the lines of "not living up to one's potential" thus the graduation picture in the background and the diploma hanging on the wall.  I still have yet to develop it though... maybe I should have the frame cracked and the wall dilapidated, etc. hmmmm...  I also can't seem to get away from drawing cupcakes. or cupcakes-with-limbs-people-ish-things.  Can't wait to color these!!!

As always, suggestions and criticism are welcome~

ciaociao!

SNEAK PEEK! [Some] Actual Storyboards for the Firenze Story!

This weekend was spent organizing my drawings/ putting them into Photoshop and typing up what's going on in the story.  It was a very productive weekend!!!  Here's a link to the previous post that shows some potential storyboards: http://skujubu.blogspot.com/2011/03/potential-storyboards-for-firenze-story.html 

I've put up all the storyboards that I've completed so far on my animatedbuzz account: http://animatedbuzz.com/profile/skujubu so please check it out if you have time!!!

These first two storyboards are the first of the story. 

 The storyboards below got turned into an animation/ animatic, but I'm currently having trouble loading videos onto Vimeo from Italy so please bear with me.  I'll get it up soon!  I didn't notice it until now, but I'm also thinking that the first storyboard on the page below [to the very left] needs to be panned out and the view the same as the view used in the other two panels on the page.  Otherwise it looks too confusing.  Agree? Disagree?  Other suggestions as to how I can resolve any confusion that might be going on, please let me know!

Here's the Flash I attempted-- I think this is the first time I've drawn directly into Flash [without tracing a drawing beneath it], so this was definitely a learning experience.  It was a lot of fun to work on, although the second half is still in keyframe form-- I have to get on that, but I accomplished what I set out to do; communicate the car's motion.  I feel so accomplished, haha.  Also, if anyone has an innovative, interesting title please holler at me.  Until then, ciao ciao!!!

Potential Storyboards for Firenze Story!

They're rough and out of order but here's two pages of potential storyboards that I'll use for the Firenze story I've been working on!  [I posted sketches and some drawings that are going into the storyboards earlier: http://skujubu.blogspot.com/2011/03/going-going-going.html]  Hip, hip, hooray for progress!!!

War of the Foods!!!

In the beginning of last semester [fall of Junior year] I worked in a group of four girls and we created 'War of the Foods'!!!  It was actually pretty fun collaborating in such a big group [I say "big" because previously the largest group I had ever worked in was one other person and myself].  I did camera work/ animation of characters from 0:07-0:24 and created the carrot and cylindrical can figures/ modeled/ rigged/ animated them and the camera movements from 0:50-1:04.  Feedback on 0:50-1:04 is appreciated!

Sketches for Firenze Story

I'm taking Steph's suggestion and am shooting to storyboard up until where the girl gets to the market to sell her carrots.  SO-- here's what I've been up to so far with my preparatory sketches for my storyboards~

It's really fun drawing these and they help SO much.  Comments, constructive criticism, and love is appreciated!
