Film Poster!

It's been a while, but here we are: the middle of April, film release sneaking up. Hopefully this serves to whet your appetite. I'm thinking of getting one of these printed out to keep or put up or hang off of my neck like someone proclaiming the end of the world. All good options.

Fun fact: This poster could also serve as an alternate film ending summed up in one picture, if you squint. I leave it to your interpretation.

Breaking News!

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but...

The film is done!

It's been a grueling few months, but at long last all of the animation, backgrounds, and editing are done. I'm not so sure of how much animation I can show, but here are the final backgrounds from the film!

Oliver?

I barely know 'er!

Oliver has colours now! He's been rigorously pasted on top of backgrounds to make sure he sticks out just the right amount and hey, presto: his final colour scheme. Since I haven't posted up a final design of him I guess this serves two purposes!

Brace Yourselves

...animation is coming. The time is nigh! Layouts are coloured and animation is being scheduled and planned as we speak. Or, as I type and you read, rather. Not sure how often I'll post animation, but here's a taste of layout colour to tide you over.

Christmas Post!

I didn't intend to do Christmas stuff, but it just sort of...happened. One minute you're drawing your character with a candy cane hat, the next...it's everywhere. So enjoy some Dress-Up with Oliver. Merry Christmas!


This Christmas I Gave You My Art.

The very next day it blew you away.

These are the final layouts for my film, as seen in the latest leica. I thought I would post them up separately so you could peruse them at your leisure. The plan was to get rid of the line once they were all coloured up, but we'll see how it goes once I put the colour in. I might opt for a subtly coloured line instead. Maybe I'll both up both versions once they're finished.

Who knows.

The (Hopefully) Final Leica!

So it's the winter break in our school year and there is much to be done. Or, at least some to be done. Still trying to find the right balance between Christmas lounging and work.

This Leica now includes a short bit of animation (a test of how the character will move), the line of the final backgrounds (which will look much better when we get some colour in there, I think), and... narration! Or, more specifically, the final-film-quality narration! It's all coming together, people.

(very slowly)
