@Michael Shea: I'm loving those drawings on the butcher paper too. Someday I'll be able to do drawings like that using black and white(etc) materials on mid-tone paper. And if I may ask... what is your Flickr user name?
I'm no artist, hence why you'll usually find me behind a camera rather than behind a sketch pad. That said, I absolutely adore natural history art (hey, I'm a biology geek, what more can I say?) and recently have been trying my hand at some simple shell studies.
@ Richard Pace those sneak peaks are stunning, love the pencils! @ alberto awesome old school styling!
Here's a time lapse video of a couple drawings I did. The vid didn't turn out like I'd hoped, we need a better lens to capture the details ( the little scibbles in the last minute are actually all sorts of cartoon characters but it's hard to see) I tried to salvage the work with some editing and home made psychadelic grooves anyways...
Hello, everyone. I started a different thread for it, but thought I'd ask here, too. Was just looking for some advice on how to put together some animation. I want to do a 3-minute short animated film with talking and music and stuff. My first one (the McLaren Justice League trailer) came out so-so, but I used Windows Movie Maker, which is utter garbage for trying to use jpegs as single frames of animation. Basically I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice about any computer programs (that are free) that I can use to take a bunch of jpegs that I'd draw and string them together into an animation.
I've Googled, but it's hard to find what I'm looking for, because it's all buried under piles of stuff that I don't want. Any help would be appreciated.
And I want to put it on a DVD when finished, so exporting as an avi or mpeg would be a must for any program (or if it just has a burn to dvd option...).
We're doing photo-covers for Invisible, Inc. I took this one:
It's just a quick mockup so the edge pixelation/border will disappear, the background will turn out nicer, and I'll layer some traditional comic book aesthetic over it. But man...what a kick I got seeing my imaginary friends as real people.
