Desire

Below is a link to the stills for desire. There are too many to list so I have turned it into a video by using Windows Live Movie Maker to show the process before it has been edited.

Hope- Research

These are the characters, George, Lenny and Candy. Just like Rayman they have no connecting limbs. The white spaces will be filled in when I edit it in photoshop.

The Rayman design has no connecting limbs to the body and as I used to draw these kind of things when I was younger it would be a basis for my character designs.

These are farm ranches. It was difficult to find a view of the inside rooms that hadn't been modernised so these were the closest images that I could find.

I think the best way is to build just the room from foam bored then put all the flooring and furniture in after using photoshop.

God's Message to Elgon

This is one of  my first mini animation video's. I did this is the corner of my small room using my mobile phone and edited on movie maker.

Hope, Fear and Desire- The Raven

My shortend version of The Raven poem:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary.

And each seperate dying ember wrought its ghost in the bleak December.

From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore.

Suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping,

"Tis some visitor" I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door,

Only this and nothing more

And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple c;urtain,

Thrilled me,- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before.

Presently my sould grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

"Sir" said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore",

Here I opened wide the door

Darkness there and nothing more

Open here I flung the shutters, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore

Then this ebony bird beguilng my sad fancy into smiling,

"Gastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nighty shore!"

Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Nights Plutonian shore!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

"Prophet" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still if bird or devil!-

Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore.

Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-

On this home by Horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore!-

Is there- is there balm in Gilead? - tell me- tell me, I implore!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

These are my stills going through a creative process. I first sketched them out in my book and then modified it on the the acetate.

I finally got the right pens to use on the acetate, I was just using ink and normal fine liners, which was a fighting battle. I re-did the stills with the proper pens and is much better and easier. I found out that I could blend/smudge the ink before it quickly dried which was useful to cover big spaces and make an effect.
