Game art assets : day 5

So here he is by the end of today, And the main changes were for the grass however i was starting to get bored so started on the lay out for the background.

still thinking the pigs waiting looks a bit awkward but I kinda dont want to make any huges changes to it yet think the barrel needs to be a bit more top heavy (so the barrels pointing to the ground) would prob make it look better too.

tomorrow i might take a break on the pig and start thinking about the card layout maybe get some item cards designs down and put them up.

anyways thanks all who read this...

My first quadruped animation (pixel art) | PART 2

So this Is the stage I am at now finished the first pass of the animation and started on the second adding more detail in shading and moving the smaller bits of hair and adding the tail. with 5/7 frames done.

Hes still got a long way to go, before I would class it as finished but taking my time.

Also just to add my Part 1 timelapse is now up and ready for you to watch if you like, with part 2 coming later.

Thanks for your time,

My first quadruped animation (pixel art) | PART 1

not finished

Hey guys,

Well today along with my sketches i decided to get back into animating to prepare myself for the short I am doing,

So, I chose to do a quadruped animation because its something I have never done before I have done a lot of human animations but nothing else really.

The above image I would say is about 25% complete maybe less, so how did I get to this stage then,

timelapse

1. the sketch so bellow is my initial sketch on paper which i then highlighted in pen to make it easier for the camera to pick out, you may ask why I didnt just sketch it straight onto he computer using a graphics tablet. well the truth is, I really don't like it I feel on the sketching stage I produce stuff much closer to what I had in my head and paper and pencil is just easier and more tactile for me.

2. After doing this I then made a rough pixel outline

3. cleaned the pixel line adding base colour and shading

4. started animating using run cycles of dogs as reference most notably this animation by Paul Robertson.

5. As I am right now on just the base poses of the wolf I am ignoring smaller details such as the hair and tail which i completely removed so i could focus completely on the legs.

so I am about 2 thirds of the way through my first pass, so this is 6 frames of a total of 9.

So hopefully I will have Part 1 on youtube tomorrow and will be working on the 2nd part :)

untill then, bye byeeee!

Bloopers Concept

Hello,

Previously I mentioned that I had an idea to create a short animated short parody of a film,

well I eventually got round to starting to do work for it,

i have drawn some thumbnails into my sketchbook and drawing and started the first concepts of the first character but first my idea,

I thought it would be cool to start a sort of short animated series for youtube at my Dam90 channel just to keep me going with animating stuff.

so my idea is to do bloopers for scenes in popular movies/tv shows, first up is the avengers.

so I am going to keep it simple so it saves time, al prob spend more time in animating explosions and stuff.

this isnt final work and may change...

anyways thanks for reading, and remember you can check out my portfolio here
