Weekend-update 2!

Hi there!

Here's todays second update! This time I'm treating you to the second character-sheets that I wrote about earlier today. As you can see I'm giving myself some artistic license with the characters. These characters will be in a constant state of design and I'm probably going to redesign them when I have worked with them for a while. These sheets are kind of like a test drive for the characters, to see how they are to draw, and how they perform. So far I'm pleased with them and I hope they are pleased with me!

Take care!

Weekend update!

Hi!

Here are the character-sheets for my new characters; racoon and penguin. I haven't given them names yet, but that will come eventually. The character-sheets purpose is to see how the character looks through different angles and to see how they are constructed, later this week I've worked on other character-sheets with the characters in different moods and poses. I'm going to put them here when I'm done with them. I'm also treating you with a fast sketch that I did when I was searching for the penguin.

Take care!

Hi there!

I've just done two sketches of two new characters that I'm going to animate with. What you are seeing is preliminary sketches and a work-in-progress, what's next is that I'm going to do character-sheets that shows the character in different views and different moods. I've tried to keep them as simple as possible, to facilitate the animation.

Take care!

Hi!

In my last update I wrote about my essay and all the commas that I used, a friend of mine texted me this about commas:

The comma is an underrated tool. It lacks the abrupt conclusion of the point and gives the text a more streamlined character, with space for insertions.
(My translation)

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Take care!

Hi!

Monday this week I defended my bachelors essay! In Sweden we call it "opponering". I have written about the role of the Catholic church in horror movies. The English title of the essay is: The role of the Catholic church in horror movies; A role theoretic analysis of the Catholic church in the movies The Exorcist and The Rite. One of my opponents remarks where that I had seven (7) commas in one sentence! Afterwards I was quite proud of that achievement! Here is the sentence as it was in translation:

Storytelling in film is basically made through two ways, aristotelical dramaturgy, is also called anglosaxical dramaturgy, a more careless name for it is "the 3-act", which means that the film has three acts, introduction, story, conclusion.

I've now written it in more sentences. But what's more important is that my essay passed! I got the grade "godkänd" which means that it passed. I'm not really sure what's going to happen now with it, but I'm going to post it electronically at the university library, but I'm waiting to hear from my handler. I'll write about it here when it is available.

Take care!

Hi!

As you've seen in earlier updates I'ven been working on some illustrations for the Deathpiglet quotebook. The quotebook is scheduled for released this autumn. This week I've changed one of my illustrations because it wasn't good enough, so here is the reworked cleaned-up sketch of quote no. 6: Plague and cholera? That's two wishes in one!

I'm probably going to tweak it some more before I ink it.

Take care!

Hi there!

When I showed last weeks update for my drawing teacher, we noticed that I wasn't quite done with it, so I worked on it some more, and here is the result:

I have mainly worked on the right arm, left shoulder, and head. Maybe I'm done with it now, what I can see right now is that my drawing is leaning a bit forward and the arc on his back gives him a bit of a hunch, and of course my drawing is a few percent smaller. Well, am I done with it now...? Honestly I can't say. I'm going to let it rest for a while and maybe, just maybe, I'm going to work on it some more.

Take care!
