Ball Animation Redo

Well, this is the redo for my bouncing ball with tones and shadows. I took out every other drawing and recaptured it, that got the speed of the ball right and got rid of the sticky, plunger effect the ball had when it landed. Also, at the end I redid the shadows so they were coming from the correct light source. I had them shift too far over at the end of the animation. So here's the revised version! Oh and it pushed my grade up a little by doing this! ^_^

First 2-D Effects Assignment

Well, this is my first 2-D effects assignment. Troy gave us the background and we had to animate a ball bouncing through. Not only the ball but we also had to animate tones and shadows on the ball coming from a specific light source, the window, and at a specific time of day, 3 PM. So here it is, and I'll probably be posting the redo up here as well, so you can compare them too.

Ridiculous

Well, for some silly reason it won't let me upload the first 4 pages of my comic.... So as soon as I get this figured out you will be able to read the beginning so you can read the set up and understand the joke. Thus making you laugh and telling all your friends about this rib-tickling post that they just HAVE to read.

Mini Comic

So I had to do a mini comic for my final in Intro to Sequential. I took two old comics I had already done before. The ideas the character has in the comic are actual thoughts that went through my head during class while my Professor was droning. Although, I didn't yell my thoughts out to the class, as hilarious as that would have been. So I hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately I have to post them one at a time so it's going to be a long list of pictures... I just won't make them as big as I usually do. Oh and ignore the Anatomy at the bottom, it was originally going to be a 3 part series, each gag having it's own title corresponding to the joke. So the actual title is Biology 101.

Moustache Men

So I drew this last year some time and just never got it up here. He's the beginning of a line of characters with, as you can see, ridiculous moustaches. Each moustache will determine his vocation, such as the first one. He is a cowboy with an amazingly fantastic handlebar moustache. Well here he is, let me know what you think!

Backgrounds

Well here's the other half of the animated assignment. I had to take a background and recreate it in a realistic and stylized version. Then I chose one of those and added the ball to see if I could composite them together well. And like i said in the previous post, I hope it worked out well. I mean I think it did! And I'm pretty proud of it. Well here are the two backgrounds. Let me know if you like them, and which one you prefer and why; if you don't mind.

Fun with Compositing

Well, here's my first attempt at digital compositing using Toon Boom Animate Pro. Like I said, first time, so I hope it looks as good as I think it does. The ball bounce isn't the best, but to be honest that's not exactly what I cared about in this project. The ball and the background just need to look like they go together. So, let me know what you think!!
