Doodlanimation in a coffee shop - EDITED!!!

I am still working on that animation. Here is a finished first version of it. A nice animator from Montreal city gave me great advices on how to improve it, so you should see another version soon. Feel free to comment! Desynchronizing when she settles, fixing the dragging hair and feathers, adding some betweens, and some other things.

Also, first clean up work in TV Paint! Gosh I love this software!! So glad I bought this thing.

*****

I brought with me a peg bar and some animation paper when I left home to the coffee shop. I love my work station at home, but I needed to change the scenery a little bit.

Don't ask me what is what and why she has some sort of ghostly tail instead of legs. I was just doodling around and flipping stuff and didn't really planned anything. It was a really enjoyable experience and will do it again.

I inbetweened it with Flash just to have a quick idea of the timing. I haven't decided yet how I will clean up everything.

If you have any comment or suggestion, feel free to tell. At this stage, it's easy to improve stuff.

Sketchbook 2012 part 2

I am still trying to figure out the right butt curve for this little lady here. I'd like to practice my animation skills on one of my own design for a change ;) So once her design is settled, you might see her moving around sometimes.

The other sketches are juste random ones I thought deserved to be shown here.
Enjoy!!

Sketchbook 2012 part 1

Here is part of my sketchbook 2012. Maybe you noticed there was almost no sketchbook entry for 2011. 2011 has bee a tough year for me and I had to take a break of many things to heal my mind. Now I feel like I am rediscovering the pleasure of drawing for myself, which didn't happen for a long time.

But this is past now. It feels like I'm healed and I am filling pages and pages of sketchbook again! More to come soon. :)

Le Magasin des Suicides

Hi! I've been gone for several months. It's habit of me. And this time the reason is I was involved in the animation of the French feature film Magasin des Suicides (Suicide Shop). It was a great experience. A long 6 months of hard work, lot's of new things learned. I can't show any of my work before the theatrical release (16th of May), but here's a short trailer. One of my animation is featured there, the hands typing on the cash machine. :) So short! But more to show in May 2012!!

Ink work

Geekiness

Hi hi ! Been a while since I did a drawing post in this drawing blog. There are piles and piles of sketch waiting for being scanned, but have been to lazy to finish the job. Working on computer kind of drive me away from it once at home. Anyway, I've been experiencing more of my good old geekiness recently. and started with some friends a D&D game. This just made me remember what is the frustration I live each time I play video games : the lack of possibilities.

Lots of pointy eared stuff in the following sketches. ^.^

Amigurumi madness

Ok bon ça devient une obsession, mais c'est si le fun à faire. Parti comme c'est là, je saurai pu ou les entreposer!

*****

Ok this is now becoming an obsession, but they are so fun to make! I won't have much space left to store them if I keep that up!

Amigurumi hell

Peut-être n'avez vous pas entendu parlé de ça, mais les amigurumi, en gros, c'est ce que les japonais on fait lorsqu'ils se sont emparé de l'art du crochet.. Bref quelque chose d'ultimement cute. Fan du cute comme je suis, j'ai décidé de m'y mettre... j'avais pas mal l'air de ça (oui je sais, j'ai désespérément besoin d'une bonne coupe de cheveux).

******

Maybe you never heard about them before, but amigurumi are what Japanese people made out of the art of crochet once they put their hand on it. Something of ultimate cuteness. Cuteness fangirl that I am, I decided I'd tried myself on this thing.. kinda looked like that (ok yes I know, I desperately need a new hair cut).




Et après maints essais erreurs j'ai quand même réussi à arriver à quelque chose.
And after some trial mistakes, I kind of ended up with something not too bad.
