Pick's Art Thread 5 - Short Anim. Test

Hopefully, the program comes with tools with which to fill in the gaps between key frames.

Pick · Post by **Pick** » 2006-05-09 10:15pm

No, it doesn't. It's not designed to do that. It's an old-school animator's tool. You draw the frames, it puts them together.

Nozoma:

Look at that colorful hair! See, Hoquer? Should have slept with her while she was offerin'!

Ooh I like the style and colors. But it looks like her right ear is a little too far forward?

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-05-10 02:01am

Heh, she's pretty cute, though she looks a little serious. Comes with the territory, I suppose.

Heh, don´t worry, no offence meant.

But you if you know the right button making stuff move smoothely is just two clicks. Honestly.

Also, Frametoon's "manual" is a small guide in Japanese, which I can't read particularly well.

Now, that might be a problem.
Here´s a link to Autodesks Combustion. They offer a thirty day trial version. The Program is in english as well as the manual.

and here´s a link to a bunch of official tutorials which are very good:

Those ears seem a little off, but that hair is simply amazing.

Yeah, I'd hit that too. But that begs the question: Is Hoquer able to hit that?

Well, once she's twenty, I don't see why he couldn't

Salm, I appreciate the suggestion, but I really don't have that kind of money

Gothy inkwork!

Pens. On paper.

I recall a passing reference to people with highly advanced Good traits being unable to reproduce. Or are they simply sterile and you just refrain from drawing the naughty bits?

And woah, you can write like that?

Hell yes.

Looks certainly like a blade fit for Desunius.

He's sterile, but entirely capable of engaging in an attempt at reproduction

. Good people even tend to fuck around a bit, worst comes to worst someone gets pregnant and they need more population anyway. I generally just don't detail the crotch because I am a teenager, and thus would not be able to handle that in a mature manner

.

I did that on computer. I can write like that, but I can't find my calligraphy pens since I haven't used them in so long

Hoquer's, I presume? Also, that ink work is just plain drool worthy.

I'm really digging that inkpen style. I'd pay to get art done like that.

Probably Hoquer's, though this isn't a story scene. Still, when you're working with that size, there's an extremely limited number of people whom it could have belonged to. Maybe Desunius

.

As for my inkwork, not to toot my own horn, but I'm a damn good inker.

Actually, I think some of my best inkwork was in a horribly involved comic project... that I never finished. I drew fourty-two pages, and inked perhaps twenty six or twenty seven of them... and then gave up. Some of looked pretty good, too, which is kind of sad now. Oh, I also toned about twelve of them. Damn, what a waste of time. Actually, as I type this, I'm going though them. Damnit! Why didn't I finish these? I spent so long on this and I swore I wasn't going to give up! Bah. Well, I couldn't draw as well back then... I'll ink the Dark Councilors chapter I'm planning to do this well though. Damnit. Someday.

Ink and an Opencanvas level shift for purple goodness.

Seriously.

Sketched in about four minutes for you curious people. Oh, though I put Verdigris on the wrong line since I forgot about her, she's supposed to be between line 6 and 5. I forgot that I changed her height. Anyway, bear in mind that Alder, Nozoma, whatever aren't really short, but they aren't like the really ancient ones who are unusually imposing, even for adults.

And see why the kids almost shat themselves when Umber stood up?

Darth Raptor · Post by **Darth Raptor** » 2006-05-13 02:50am

I knew Umber got his incredible height from his digitigrade posture, but Hoquer must get his by virtue of being a massive hulking giant.

And that is the coolest. Chair. Evar!!

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-05-13 03:42am

Holy crap. I mean, I knew they were tall, but they're just fething giants. I can understand the kiddies' reaction now. He's practically twice their height, tall enough to make Edge look like a child, and still large enough to make Desunius not look like a monster.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-05-13 11:12am

Hoquer is as tall as Umber? I guess I can see another reason why Zixer hates him so much.

And is that Edge's Council seat? It suits him.

While I haven't read Dark Councilors I am always amazed by your artwork Pick. It's fraking awesome!

And I had no idea you were only 17, I thought you were 25 or something.

Well, Desunius is also digitigrade, but not as much. Even if Umber stood on his heels, though, he'd still be considerably taller than she is. Umber is actually a bit stunted due to environmental factors. Hoquer, however, is just plain fucking huge, yes. See why he's convenient to rally behind? You can really inspire some faith when you're all but larger-than-life

. I mean, hell, Selia's tall enough to demand some authority, but Hoquer's got serious stature. He's also older than Umber, which you may or may not have suspected.

And that is the coolest. Chair. Evar!!

I did it last, and I was lazy, so I barely sketched it out first

. I think it came out good though, so thank you!

Oh yes

. Remember, they never completely stop growing... . Most people make it to about a hundred or so, but once you start racking up the years after that, your stature will definitely set you apart. Umber, Hoquer and Desunius, however, are really above and beyond. Once you've reached that degree, you've basically asserted your position through clear, defined ability to survive. In Syvoria, and as a Llanlleian sinner, that's no small feat

Zixer is the little boy of the Llanlleian officials. I mean, seriously, comparing him to Hoquer is just pitiful. Zixer looks like a fucking middle-schooler without outside context. As for the seat, nah... I just thought it looked cool

Height equals power! Invader Zim flashbacks! Flying monkeys, whee!

Sorry. Of course, it makes sense - height equals age which in turns equals experience and quite probably skill.

Do azzarn eventually die of senescence? Or did they never have that idiotic "hack parts of your DNA off when you replicate it" flaw that Earth life suffers from?
