Candle and Rain drops

Not sure why the yellow borders are showing on the candle, but oh well xD
Today's special effects exercises c:

Le questions of doom

What Character did you key frame for this exercise?
Vykel the Viking, and Jor the Dragon

What did you enjoy most about the pair exercise?
Uh...That's not fair
I liked all of it so I really can't pick. xD
From Keyframing  to inbetweening, all of it was enjoyable

What was difficult?
The dust effect
I didn't find a way to make it look proper until recently, so it needs to be edited

Was your animation too complicated?
Not in my opinion, and it was not difficult to build either

if so, what was complicated about it?
The void

did you and your team mate communicate well?
Like birds chit-chatting during a good meal

What were some of the things you and your team mate discussed?
The timing chart I once again forgot, and the key frames
The dragon design, the girl design, the everything design, and apples and sushis

Vykel and Jor Rough

 

 

Rough Keyframes for Vykel and Jor Shot 1/2, the second one will be done by my partner in Crime, Valkina, huehuehue~
The second one just has some random dust effect, rushed attempt but the idea is there xD

Vykel & Jor

Viking and dragon, best friends foreveeeeer!

RRH Keyframing - Weightlift

This week's exercise for which we had to draw our character lifting a heavy object of our own choice. Uh...it's 93 frames long and I don't even know if this is a proper length for it, or if it is too long. xD
Obviously it'll look smoother if it got in-betweens, but this was not required for this week so none!
I made some changes throughout the keyframing process, compared to the roughs I formerly drew, too. To me it looks better than the rough sketches, but who knows!

Clean up Exercises

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Personally I love clean up, so this exercise was never frustrating to work on-- Gotta love making things look clean :'D

The four first drawings were done in the traditional room using Pen and pencil to clean up the rough lines, and the two last ones were done in Photoshop.

Luv Clean up!

Maxwell In-betweening

A little exercise done as an other inbetweening practice
We also had to create a few characters and imagine what Maxwell's world would be like, thus adapting our designs to the world. I do not currently have samples of these characters, but I'm having fun thinking of a story for Maxwell and the others!
