Ticked Off Backgrounds

These are new backgrounds for Ticked Off. The bottom one is a new angle of the previous background i did, the clock is supposed to be cracked but Jasmine is still working on the design of the cracks in the clock so i put the full clock face in as a placeholder. I think they're looking really good, although i can't help but think they're a little too saturated? I still need to finish the top one so it's in progress at the moment but i'm happy with it so far!

Ticked Off - Background

This is a background that I've done from a layout which was done by our producer, Jasmine Scrogie. This is my first attempt at a background in the final style as the test I did last semester was in a very different style to this one., there are new textures and overlays and also new props. In the shot for this background, the clock face is actually smashed at this point but Jasmine is still working on how the clock will be smashed so I've used the proper clock as a placeholder. I think it's looking really good and i can't wait to do some more!

Papa Poule - Character work pt2

   Another one! This one i found more tricky than the others, i'm just awful at perspective and shape and body proportion, which is why i''m more of a background artist but I've enjoyed the challenge and this has to be done to make my work more appealing to look at! just have to keep going and not give up! D:

Papa Poule - character work

   So i'm thinking a lot about how i'm going to tell a 'story' through my portfolio of work that i hand in at the end of the semester, and i'm thinking i could just use the characters and make them interact with whatever i'm showing  so for example, painting the backgrounds and then i had an idea of making the characters from different films meet, so Paul would meet Wick and so on. These are three of the poses I've done and so far it's looking pretty good, i'm not usually great at character stuff but i'm quite enjoying it! Definitely not perfect but better than i thought.

Papa Poule - shot and layout change

 So layouts and backgrounds are all done now for Papa Poule, so for me it's just a case of fixing any layouts/BGs that need fixing and tweaking things here and there. I also said i'd help out with colouring shots if needed, even though I specialise in backgrounds. This shot that requires two backgrounds has changed so the blinds aren't going to be animated anymore so I've just added the blinds on each one.

 

Ticked Off - Coloured Bookshelf

These are the bookcases coloured in basic block colours, I need to touch base with Jasmine, our producer who designed the props, as I was using her design as reference and she seems to have used some sort of texture and other brush that I don't know about (Jasmine's example shown below) and of course, consistency throughout the film is important so I need to make sure we're both using the same brushes and techniques to keep the style exactly the same. I'm actually really pleased with these, I have definitely surprised myself in terms of what I am capable of - I know they're just a bunch of basic bookcases but considering that I struggle with angles I'm pretty proud of myself I must say.

More Props for 'Ticked Off'

 The table is right in front of the clock and basically in the centre of the room and is visible in many of the shots so I thought I'd practice drawing it at different angles. The props I've put on the table in this will change in the final backgrounds but I thought i'd add them on to help show the angles of the table and because it looks pretty.

 Boxes again but with different background and texture/colour overlay. I need to do more angles of this.

Bookcase: I was worrying about this one because it's quite a difficult thing to draw at different angles (I think so anyway) but I think I pulled it off? I'm happy with it anyway. I didn't draw any of the books or objects inside as I just wanted to get the basic shape of the bookshelf first and the rest can easily be added later. Now all I need to do is colour them! We don't really see the back of the bookcase but I thought i'd add it in to the turn around, to really get a feel of the design.
