Alma Short Animation...Short Review

Just seen this animation short called 'Alma' Written and Directed by Rodrigo Blaas, at first it seemed so creepy because you know something wrong is going to happen, but I can't help the fact that this is a nicely done short animation movie. I found this piece really interesting, especially the storytelling, it catches your attention so quickly as your determine to know what's going to happen next. From my opinion, a few of the designs seemed as though they were inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, seen as the creators are based in Spain and me being such a big fan of the Art Nouveau movement, it's most likely to be the work of Antonio Gaudi that had inspired this short. (well it is my opinion!)...have a look.

New Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Wow this looks amazing, this is a film I am definitely look forward to watching!..From the weird/creepy/crazy designs created I just know that Tim Burton would be involved , only he could make this film look so incredible...the animation looks great! I really admire this guys work, and so does Johnny Depp by the looks of things :-)

Another Character Idea!...

Right, today I had drawn another character; something came into mind so I had to draw it out. Haven’t thought of a full storyline or synopsis yet, but it will be about a boy with an ginger afro, who gets bullied at junior school for being too urban, but although he is nerdy in his ways, his style seems to pays off when everything goes his way. Ideas in mind are saying that this would be a great character, if I create it in 3ds Max… :-) will post the images later, when I have access to a scanner!

The Front Pg

The front page to the comic The Insight, as I said it wasn't finished slightly. Overall I was quite pleased with this comic, despite the minor errors throughout! eg. size of writing should of been one size, obvious pencil markings.. etc

First Comic - The Insight...(late I know!)

So this was the first comic I created for the Identities Project, (my first comic ever!) starting from the first page. The front page and other areas throughout were not finished slightly but will do for now, as it still looks good enough to show ...oh yh the front pg will be posted above as it would not add to this post!...enjoy!

Back On The Scene

Well it is known that I haven’t posted anything for a while, my apologies for this… So what have I been up to? Well I’ve been doing a few things, despite the fact I didn’t succeed in my uni work (a looong story, I’m not proud of!). I mean, I always do my best in whatever I undertake, but this year with bad luck was taking the piss!!!...I will not stress over this now because it’s in the past, (although I was more than stressed at the time!) so I’ll move on with a pretend smile :-) and my head high and continue to state what I have been doing and what I’m willing to do in the xmas break.

So far I have written (in rough) a few synopsis's, designed a few characters and in the making is another comic strip, the storytelling stages were completed just before we started back at uni, from then till now I've been working on the designing stages. I will fill you in with more info and images of these later on (as I don’t have a scanner!). What I would like to mention is that the main character from each story is in development, and as I said early I will keep you updated on these. The comic strip I have created is a follow up of the comic I did for my identities project, the comic is called ‘Past Resident’ and is basically about my past of how I used to be and events that became my permanent memories. There are two more comics which will follow these, which are called ‘Who Am I?’ and ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, but I’ll post info on these next time. In the comic ‘Past Resident’ I’m always on skates as it is one of my favourite hobbies, and based on this I have create yet another bunch of characters (all girls) and called them the ‘Hott Sk8terz’ (not apart of the comic Past Resident!)…yes yes I know, might need to change this title! Hmmm well depending on how the feel of things go.
