An Animatic that I knocked up. It's quite slow so please bear with it. Thank you.

Mother Sauvage Project - an digital comic book blog

I am currently spending my weekends working on a digital comic.  I am adapting the short story 'Mother Sauvage' by Guy de Maupassant.  I think the first aim is whether I can tell the story visually.  The only way to test and to improve this is to avoid words.

At the moment I am concentrating on the theme about war and revenge.  I really want to get across the message that there are no winners in war, and that revenge killing does not solve anything; in fact it does the opposite and exacerbates things.

Below are a few sketches.

Bellydancing Animation Project - Jimmy complete

I've now updated one of my characters, Jimmy.  I've also decided to give him a splash of colour.  It looks like that I might have to do the entire animation in colour. This is going to take even longer than I had anticipated.

Bellydancing Animation Project - Character Sketches

I am currently creating an animation to promote my Bellydancing Art work.  So far I have drawn the bellydancer dancing, I am still trying to work on the smoothness or the timing of the movement.  At the moment I just want to get the work out there; as there are many other projects that I need to develop.  The aim is, I hope, to improve as I go along, and when I get better to return and reproduce the animation. 

 

I have developed to main characters for the Bellydancing animation, Timmy and Jacob.  I just need to ink my drawings  and perhaps retouch within Photoshop.  I haven't figured out whether I am going to animate both or just the one.
