One More

One more post for that Hyde character.  It was about time I uploaded these poses and expressions.  I learned a good chunk of things from doing these, so I hope to do more of the Jekyll character at some point soon as well.

Happy new year everyone!

Secret Santa Thingy Thing

So at work we did this secret Santa thing where we each pulled names from co-workers out of a hat.  For that person, we would create a drawing of something they liked.  I ended up drawing Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us.  I've never played the game, but I've heard nothing but good things about it.  Here's the drawing:

Colour Hyde

Forgot to upload this one.  This was an earlier version of the Hyde character that I was supposed to clean up.  Figured it would be fun to figure out its actual colours.  There’s a few minor changes in the design since this one, but overall it’s pretty similar.  Why is this text blue?

Hyde Does a Twirl

So now Hyde turns! It was a rather tricky one to rotate while keeping it simple, but this was my attempt.  Stephen made a few suggestions that I did before uploading these, so here is Hyde, Finnish folklore style.

Ember Process 1

I've been meaning to make these (upcoming) posts for a while now.  I have finally started compiling things together for uploading.  Here's the first of multiple posts in which I put together a whole bunch of (pre-) production work from my fourth year film project at Sheridan.

Let's start with the concept art and pitch package.  This is well over a year old now.  It was basically the thing I put together to pitch the idea to my mentor group.  It has some very early versions of Dart and Juffer's designs.  Originally Dart was a bit older and more serious than what he ended up being.

Here's a preliminary colour concept of the main environment.  Many people said it looked a little bit too ominous, so the final colours became a bit more saturated and leaned a bit more towards a warmer yellow/green hue.

Here's the finalized colour script of the whole film.  There's something really fun about throwing solid colours down with a hard round brush on one layer.  It makes you work with less detail and gets you to focus more on the overall colour scheme.
