The Lonely Man by Young Maverick

 Well, it's finally completed. After all this time and agonizing hours, it's finished. for those of you wondering where the hell I have been and where the hell is all my drawing work, well it was because of this project that caused my lack of other work.

So it is finally done, Lonely man is the product of the painstakingly slow process of stop-animation, and individual cell by cell animation that myself, Steve Sheldon and Tristan Jones (my brother) have put together, featuring the musical talents of Young Maverick.

But after many many hours, and three sever cases of carpal tunnel syndrome (borderline), here we are with the finished product.

Enjoy!

2D aniamtion at its most fantastic

The song is The World Spins on Madly by The Weedies.

I seriously didn't know what to think when I first saw this. My jaw dropped and I couldn't take my eyes of the screen.If anybody asked me about "what is art?" I'd play this to them. I'm still boggled by the thought of this clip. Just so freaking beautiful!

Monthly Music Video #7

Yeah...It's been a while and I'm very VERY sorry for it, but back on topic, tis the month of November and in the blog comes a new music video.
The clip is "HEY" by Eatliz. I just randomly came across it. Really nice visuals and animation for cg...kinda disturbing in parts though. Love the styling for it  and I want that massive ridable frog!

At the movies...

Atlee seeing her first ever Disney movie. Inspired after reading a few Power Girl comics.

Alright, since I haven't posted anything all month, I may as well put up what I have drawn and am happy with. Going from the top corner these are my character pieces that I want to work on.
1. Aya - Onechanbara (proudest one)
2. Liara - Mass Effect
3. Ulala - Space Channel 5 (need to rework the thighs)
4. Kara Zor-L - Super Girl
5. Toph - Avatar: The Last Airbender
6. Jess and Sol - OC's from my animated short

The Lonely Man - Solo (animation)

Well, since it's done and I'm happy with it, I've now decided to post it up on my blog. Essentially, this is guitar solo for the Young Maverick's song, "The Lonely Man". About 7 layers of animation here, all of which are individually animated, NOT TWEENED! All drawn in Flash CS5.

The animation has been applied to the actual music video footage....well, put it this way, it needs to be re-thought out.

Happy Engagement Bill & Ash

Friend of mine from High School recently got engaged and I had no idea on how to give them a memorable present. So I drew up a sketch for them (along with money for their wedding). This is probably the first of a few to come. I was happy with how this came out (simply because of how quickly and cleanly I did it) and so were they (apparently so much so they're getting it framed).
