I also uploaded to Imgur because flickr is being so weird!!

I couldn't get it up on Flickr for some reason, so I'm using Imgur until I figure that out!

My gif which I made using bright palettes from a previous illustration. Really digging using Kyle Webster's sponge brush to add a rough kind of texture without using many textures. As with many of my assignments for this class, I've been trying to be as line-less as possible and focus more on strong shapes/composition.

Audrey loves to dance, but not quite as much as she loves Dale Cooper.

I wish I'd chosen something simpler to animate, but oh well. Also, the sections I used the warp tool on don't look as good as the parts I redrew for every frame, in my opinion. Still a good learning experience.

I used the gouache Kyle T. Webster brushes and some of his paper textures for most of this.

Here's my gif for this week, I wish I had started out with a different composition in the beginning, but didn't have time this week to really start over.

A creepy gif

And this is my gif- nothing too particularly sophisticated to it. I went for a really simplistic style that could set up a cool, moody image whist being really easy to animate. So basically I stumbled onto the creative idea that made Limbo happen, I just happened to do it a couple years too late.


Made it mostly with a web of layers, opacity and masks.

So a lot of wonky things happened while making this like random layer duplicates appearing and things not staying put so it ended up being way more complicated than I originally thought. I was gonna add lighting and some more detail to the background, as well as maybe some movement in the hands and mouth, and I was gonna clean some stuff up more, but I kinda just ran out of time. Also, for some reason the gif goes faster when uploaded than I had it in photoshop. This was a really cool project and really interesting to experiment with though, and I'll probably try doing stuff like this in the future.

Scrapped my original idea while we were working, so I made this quick little guy before class was over...

Fox and Bird Gif

I started drawing a bird and stone and then decided the fox needed to be lurking around the corner.

Heres my gif! I want to animate more objects in this piece but I'm not sure which ones to move?

Lindsay's gif - Great Personality Kitchen

Great Personality Kitchen! Daytime and Night Time! 

Here's how to upload it to the blog.
Save for web - and make sure to change it to "gif" at the top drop down menu.
Then, go to the bottom of the window near the right hand corner and change the size to 500px wide.
Push Save.

Then, upload to Flickr.
When you post, go to the down arrow and click "original size"
Then, right click on the image and open in new tab.
Copy the url.

(The gif should be moving! If it's not, you may have saved it wrong?)

Then, go to blogger and when you want to put it into the body of the post, click on the little image button.
Then click on "from an url"
and then plug in the url that you got from Flickr.
Push Add Selected.

It should upload it!
Good luck!

Photobashing

I wasn't here last week, so I wasn't exactly sure how to do this whole thing. I watched the video on Blackboard but it didn't seem to be really helpful, so I kinda just went at it. I used 4 photos, and I  drew on a couple more layers to add some atmosphere.

Final:

I really like this process. I didn't spend much time on this one-- I mean not as much as I would have liked to. I definitely could get into doing these though.

I'm not sure I fully grasped the photobashing technique, at least not compared to the guy in the video. I think it's an interesting way of doing things but I'm not entirely sure how to put it into play in my practice at this point. It's definitely good knowledge to have under my belt though.

I made a really really ugly stupid one in class that looked like absolute crap so i made this one instead on my own time. i totally forgot to take process shots but i didnt use anything fancy, i just blended all the pieces together.

Landscape Photobash

So I used approximately 6 photos for this. This is just what I made in class last week. I used the crappy tree brush we made in class, along with the sand textured brush. I think this turned out alright. I'll probably do this again when I'm bored or if I need help creating an environment.

Photobashing

Photobash

This is a really great way to make quick, easy backgrounds! I will have to use this method in the future. Also messed around with one of those fun little leaf brushes we learned how to make in class last week.

My in-progress shots and final shot of the Photobashing assignment which honestly looks way more traditional than most of my traditional illustration work. I used a lot of the Kyle T. Webster brushes like grain and the sponge brush. I also continuously flattened the layers so that it felt like traditional painting and I couldn't change the undercoats too much. Anyway would love to hear people's thoughts for moving forward.
