Hello! Sorry about the radio silence lately!
I'm still working on things behind the scenes; currently I'm working to start the redraw for the Class of 2422 character line-up.
I've also obtained Adobe Animate 2018 recently again! I say "again" because the last time I got it, it constantly froze and lagged and crashed etc.; it was a freakin' nightmare! I was so pissed off, I threw my drawing tablet and broke it in the process!
This whole thing was several months ago, and I've learned to be more careful and calmer with these things (kinda.)
Seems like Animate 2018 is working perfectly fine this time around, but I'm still incredibly suspicious about it. We'll have to see about it once I start another animated video project.
In the meantime, I created this short rough animation of some angry fellow throwing what appears to be a drawing tablet in anger with Animate. Huh, this seems familiar...
I guess my expectation with technology is way too high.
Lately, my focus shifted from developing Mr. Ridiculous to character development for Class of 2422. I guess I can't help but leave the one character line-up image outdated mixed with two other recently updated line-ups ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll get back to the Mr. Ridiculous idea once I'm done with the Class of 2422 characters.
For now, the first character I decided I wanted to work on is the gynoid Kate-T3! I've been drawing a lot of Katie lately, and I decided to digitally draw/color this one sketch I did of her, which is shown here below:
I've been really into thinking about all the possible problems, situations, ethics, and issues that could arise for both humans and future androids once walking, talking, self-thinking android robots becomes a reality.
Sometimes I also wonder where I can get a job as a futurist.
Heyo! Apologizes for the quiet atmosphere lately.
I've been hit with the sick, and have been feeling a bit unmotivated and lazy lately with my stuff, but I'm trying to kick myself into high gear, so bear with me!
Lately I've been putting in some time with the Mr. Ridiculous idea and was investing time into developing one of his literal partners in crime, Fish Hooks.
Below are some sketches:
I've been working on her character design and her back story since this character seems really mysterious to me. Who is she? What's her real identity? Why is she doing what she's doing?
A lot of questions I already the answer to (for the most part)
I really enjoy her character and hope to share more of her soon!
Here's a ridiculous page of ridiculous expressions of Mr. Ridiculous.
Lately, I've been really hooked with developing the Mr. Ridiculous idea/characters. Some really cool progress has been made behind the scenes! Hopefully I'll be ready to show 'em off soon! I've got to start a character line-up page for these characters!
Alright, I just recently finished June's monthly animation practice! This short animation test footage deals with practicing lip syncing and a bit of puppet animation.
It's a one take voice clip of my floating head trying to pronounce supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
