Little Red Ride Storybeats and otherwise

They're actually in the wrong order,  but these are some storybeats I did for Little Red Ride, my Senior Animation Project for next year about a schizophrenic comic book lover - who finds love in more than just the joy of reading.




And here's my flipbook page, of which you saw the sketch of earlier.

Updating.

Updating's going to be a lot more common now, I've finally figured out my cookie problem (Cookie as in internet, although I have a cookie problem otherwise. I don't have any money for cookies QQ) and I can stay signed in all the time, and it's not a task to sign in and update.

So you can expect me to finally update like mad, with tons of thoughts, scribbles, and things I've noticed about old films that are actually hilarious in retrospect. So yes, Epik Animations will fulfill its purpose, finally.

Regards!

YOWZA!!! .. K I won't cross that line.

I needed to post this, it was the utmost importance, and pertinent to the rest of my life. I'm applying to Yowza, as many other individuals, and I realize I've stated numerous times. No. Almost 99% of the time nowadays, that I want to be in story, and that I'm not that interested in traditional animation anymore.


But I also just spent the last three days trying to learn how to draw Belle. For your interests, I'm going to take some screencaps of Belle. And by take some screencaps, I mean, go to magicalscreencaps.com, and take them from there.



Her lips are HUGE.

This one is actually the closest to the model so far.

Now she just looks like my friend Marta.

If anyone's noticed, in this scene, her face slides up and down like it's melting. It's pretty amusing.

Now if anyone's noticed, she's not exactly the same in every part of the film. Albeit, Magicalscreencaps tends to find the screens where she looks...relatively normal. So, I dunno, I thought that Belle would be relatively easy in comparison to like, something I'm not used to drawing. Which wouldn't be a protagonist female.
To my surprise, Belle is incredibly difficult because she goes off-model so often. Even with model sheets, and watching the movie several times over the last few days. But I'll upload my finished animation tonight.
Also - how old is Belle? Does anyone have any insight on that? I've had, 16, 18, 19, 20. 20 something.

SKETCH DUMP// 03-04-09

Just a little sketch dump, while I remember.


PORTFOLIO 2009

The pages are actually in reverse order, but the portfolio's the same whether they're in the right order or not.
