sketchbook styles

Some more sketchbook stuff. As well as the main characters and narrative, I'm spending a lot of time figuring out how the background elements are going to look. I want to make sure everything fits together neatly.
Also, here's a design I did for Lewis Carrol's Jabberwock, for a much smaller brief:

bits and bobs

Some of the pieces that will make up my finished animation. All the individual elements of each scene are hand-painted, scanned, pieced together in Photoshop and created frame-by-frame to be put in motion later in Premiere. The most efficient method? Not really, no, but it works, and it adds a certain hand-made, rough-around-the-edges quality that goes so well with the way I paint!

another animation test

This is a fairly rough test for the intro of my first foray into the world of animation. If I have time at the end I'll go back and fix some of the issues it has, but otherwise this will probably end up in the final thing.

I'll try to post some stuff that's not on Youtube soon, I promise. Right now though this animation is taking up all of my time and I've not really got much else to show.

Stay frosty, dudes.
