Final Assigment: Independent Project-- Complete!



















Yay! I'm all done with my two-sided Visual Book ^__^

I fixed the edges and sanded the glue off ( well tried to anyway...)

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to post something up here...

^__^ Bye-Bye!

Final Assigment: Independent Project-- RESEARCH pt 2




Okay, this is the second part of my research for my Visual Book.

I went to the library on Friday and Lucy helped me with my research. ^__^

She gave me this book called Visual Rocks. It features how some music videos from chosen bands were made, and in what ways their videos communicate with others.

I know Visual Rocks may not be an actual Visual Book, but the way they presented the scenes from certain music videos were very similar to the way I’m presenting my book, for example: there are many different parts to each medium, but when put together, they form one big story.

I like the idea of viewing my book as if it were on film. It will be a good way to connect each section of the book together.

I hope this works… I am trying… -__-

Final Assigment: Independent Project-- RESEARCH


In terms of research that when along with my final project I had to remember where I had originally got my idea to draw in sequence.

One of my favorite artists is a guy called Bleedman from deviantART. He does comics of cartoon characters in the Anime art style, and he just started his newest comic called SugarBits (Original story).

My book is based on Bleedman's process of drawing except it is done in traditional media, and it's more than four steps. ^^;

Original Picture Source

I really wish I knew how to use Painter 9... I have it... no idea how to use it... O__O

If you have any comments on what else I should add to this, feel free to tell me!

Final Assigment: Independent Project-- Proposal


Okay, I deleted my earlier Final Assignment Proposal because I really needed to fix it… I hope this one is better

Anyway to continue, here's the Proposal for my independent project-- Another book. Like my last book it will fold out and has two sides. The theme is Process.

It's pretty much based on the process of how I color something...

I was able to connect this book to one aspect of time design: Chronology. I choose Chronology because the events in book my have a certain order in which they go by. I think it’s a pretty linear order.

This book is also an example of “Divergence” because in order to look in inside you have to move it apart.


It is separated into two parts (the front & the back) with eight pages, so it equals sixteen pages.

Anyway here's the process in eight steps:

  • Blank page
  • Start sketch
  • Finish sketch
  • Start inking
  • Finish inking
  • Start flat colors
  • Finish flat colors
  • Final details-- DONE


Materials

  • Book Board
  • Glue Gun
  • Elmer’s Glue
  • 18’ x 24’ paper
  • Pencils
  • Colored Pencils
  • Tracing Paper
  • Prismacolor Markers
  • Gel pens


'Kay that's about it...

Assignment 9? (pt 1):" Three Minutes of my Life"


This is my storyboard for my (hopefully) soon to be first finished movie.

The plot is pretty simple:

~



I'm asleep, the phone rings.

I get up, answer the phone. It's my uncle.

He asks how to delete files from his computer.

I tell him to, "right click and hit then delete".

He thanks me, I go back to bed.

He calls again... He says, "It didn't work".

I ask him, "did you right click"?

He thanks me, again. I go back to bed, again.

But my alarm clock rings and I have to get up for school. :(

THE END :/

~

Please the excuse crappy-ness of the storyboard... I spent like five minutes or less on it. ^^;
Hopefully the movie will be up next week... Hopefully :P

Assignment #(?): Animation: "Adam n Tari Flash"

I decided to repost this because of all the freakin' tests -__-;



Anyway, these are my two white blood cell characters: Adam and Tari. Tari is the cousin of the main character in the story I'm making. Adam is a zombie white blood cell who's limbs are always randomly falling off. It is a running gag between Adam and Tari for Adam's head to fall off and for Tari to randomly be there when it happens. Because frankly, it really freaks her out. ^__^ When Adam's head flies off he's not dead, he's just doing what he always does. ^__^

Enjoy! ^__^
