Making-of

vecher_making_of

It’s close to 900K image. Please wait until it’s loaded.

I guess I have to give a little explanation here. There is no refining step between “flat” step 10 and “3D-like” step 11, just because there weren’t any additional steps. I just painted all the lights and shadows over the flat color. Step 12 shows the step when I switched to Corel Painter to blend all rough brushstrokes. Step 13 is color correction ( adding more blacks in shadows ) and …the signing:)

I did it!

I’ve made into Animation Mentor Showcase 2009! What can I say guys? It’s was one hell of a surprise to find myself among all these really talented and hard-working people. Comparing to their work my animation looks pretty humble but hey I am in, that’s  what matters. At least for me.

Congratulations, Denis!:)

Finished piece

muscles4_small2

I think it’s been a while since I did something that lasted more than one day. This one took me three. Not around the clock of course but three sessions of 3-4 hours for sure.

By the way, I called him Ricco.

Character design test

baldwin

Usually I tend to avoid tests for my clients because I think my abilities can be easily seen from my works, but this time I decided to do it  because here we are talking about feature animation project and this opportunity is so tempting that I just couldn’t resist.

The character suppose to be a nice, a little bit silly silly but still very charismatic little dictator.

Completed animation

Not too much happy with that, I would do it in a little bit different way if I was doing it now, but hey that’s why we learn for isn’t it? To make mistakes, see them, correct them and move on to new ones.

Can’t wait! I’ll post something!

akula3_2

This image supposed to be a greeting card. With some text included of course. I’ve done plenty of these guys recently and frankly speaking I am pretty happy with the result.

P.S. Boy, this stuff is great! I mean Windows Live Writer.

New Era begins!

It’s been a while since I updated this blog. For many reasons. One and most important of all is that I couldn’t find any desktop client which could make all this posting and editing process easy and quick. I hate doing it within a browser. But now everything is going to change, cause I found it. It’s called Windows Live Writer. Thank you Mr.Gates.

Shortly many new posts ( and my works of course ) will follow.

Stay tuned!
