more designs







Angeline - board pages!

Awesome, thanks Angie! You are fast!
My pages will go til page 42... so start numbering your pages at 43.

NOTE to the rest of the Penguins - Angie and I grabbed each board and are putting them on the templates. Thanks muchly to Angie for volunteering, as it's a huge job and much easier when it's cut in half! Perhaps we can have some of your guys' help tomorrow numbering all the scenes and filling in the other info during Natalie's story class.

We can go over it in our meeting at 1 PM tomorrow and actually divide up the board amongst the group.
Thanks!

Finished up my part, Stacey.

All the panels are on pages, I just need to know how many pages you got to so I can number mine. n___n

Latest leica reel, week 4!

Refer to this for now doing your rough scenes and workbooks!


We really need to post the leica, since it's a bit hard to do workbook for it without any reel. :S

DQ Hi mocaps

Liked your latest story reel, it is much tighter
there is a lot of great animation opportunity and all the scenes

It still is a bit long feel there is room for trimming but I will talk to ya all about it when we meet

love the designs you are posting,

Design pack templates USE THESE

Hey Guys, here are the design pack templates.
If you could put your artwork on these templates [make sure to choose the right one, ie, char, prop, etc] and put your name and description on it as well.
[I will upload one of mine as an example.]
If you are having troubles, let me know and I can put them on the template.

**Please print your pages and bring to the lecture tomorrow to add to the design pack. I will be going to school before lecture to print out the pages I have ready [just print it black and white].

C=Villager


Playing drums. Figured they wouldn't use sticks.

Martini glass and olives. I tried to use thick black lines wherever possible, to tie in with the ox's tail.


Drums.








Mouse.




Cart. Some distortion when he goes fast, since he's a magic ox.









Brandy snifter and how to hold one.
Beer steins and how to hold them.


















Ox construction from Brock

This will help a lot going forward, thanks Brock!
