I recently launched my portfolio/work site at KrystianMORGAN.com and needed a picture for my about page. I don't like having my photo taken so i decided to do a quick painting instead, i think it's pretty close to what i look like though, this is the original, the one at the site is slightly altered so to fir in with the design.

Considering making this into a 1second loop animation of him punching left/right continuously for my own amusement. This is the sort of juvenile thing that makes me laugh, i can't stop drawing this little guy, i think he's so funny, i'll have to do something with him soon!

Background idea generation, will work on a larger scale and be as intricate as i can when it comes time to paint it for real.

A quick design for a character idea i had who is not too loosely based on myself. I have the entire dialogue and script of an animation which involves him in my head and will be getting to work on it soon after my latest uni project is finished. Still not entirely happy on my drawing with the wacom, guess i need more practice i doubt i'll be able to draw with it as naturally as on paper but hope to get close enough to save alot of scanning in time.

Ok i'm reblogging this from KMOGVIDEO.net because it's animated related. This video took ages to make, everything was originally drawn and coloured on paper and then scanned in for removing artifacts and finally the animating. I guess the making of this video (and one other) is one of the reasons i started this blog, so that i wouldn't need to go through that process again.

Aaahhhhhh!

The Heist

noreply@blogger.com (Krystian) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:44:00 +0000

This image indicates there to be an intricate story of necessity and a well thought out plan in which our heroes seek out their desired treasure in the dangerous barn where their fate is uncertain. But in actuality, this couldn't be further from the plot of the first cartoon, i started designing a barn for bg and got carried away in the painting and came up with this. Maybe in a future short eh.

He's not a great flyer. And i still haven't got a good name for him!

Pastel Background & look at Art Rage software

noreply@blogger.com (Krystian) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:52:00 +0000

Here I'm having another attempt at painting a bg for animation. I like to design them very ambiguous and simple, so that the foreground (usually a character) will get all the attention and your eye wont tend to wander of to the background. In video i would usually blur a background out for the same effect, but i think it would be a shame to blur too much of the paintings, and just keeping it quite washed out where there's not much contrast there it could work as well. But this is my thinking in theory, in practice i might be wrong, but this is a trial for better sort of thing.

I''m pretty happy with this, i think the colours are refreshing and calm, the tree looks quite flat but other than that i think it could work well as a bg for animation.

Also this time i decided to do a screen capture of the painting within the Art Rage software, so you can see the environment i work in for these (incase you were interested in looking it up).

A scene Test

noreply@blogger.com (Krystian) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:37:00 +0000

This is the original, it's way to bright and colourful for my liking.

Here's how it looks after a quick desaturation in apple preview. I think it's a huge improvement, and inside of after effects i'll have much more control of it as a whole, and as it's single layers.

Here's a quick scene i rendered of the two bird characters i have created. I think even in here the landscape i painted is way better than the landscape i painted, earlier (even though i didn't use any reference images for this either).

I still can't help with the bright colour, so i desaturated another copy of the .jpg and it looks much more interesting to me that the overpowering first one.

As for the animation short itself, i haven't scripted anything, but i have an overall idea of what i want to happen in it, tonight i'll have a think of the dialogue, and then if i have time tomorrow, i'll have a go of storyboarding.

It's coming together!
