Run assignment number 1 - Waky waky

Hello Everyone!

TOday I'm posting the first run assignment I did in Vanarts: starting from the character that they gave me, I did this run (mybe it is a little bit exagerated but I wanted to try what I can do with flash, how much I can Push.- Makin' flash Cartoons doesn't mean making limited quality, that's why I'm trying to see how far we can go, during something like that.


This is the character:



This is my first Run:

High Kitchen

Like every single year Christmas comes veeeeery fast!

So, Joe Sullivan and Sam Padella asked me to make a video of them. Ok! The videos is posted in their comic strip- blog.-

Here you can also find the sketches I started with and the background I made for :-)

To do eveything I've spent 3 night, I hope you enjoy it.-
So... Happy Xmas to everyone and thanks to Paul that gave me his voice for Santa and Tommaso (the writer of High Kitchen) was the voice of Sam Padella!

I'm pretty excited because this afternoon I'm going to be at the theatre to watch "the Princess and the Frog".- I'm waiting for this movie from last February.- I do love Disney!





FIrst I made this ruff:



Then I made the Background with Photoshop:



After that I put everything in different layers and I started on Flash to make symbols.- then I took of the ruff layer.-

Body language dialog

CIao to everyone!
Today I'm posting the first dialog assignment we did at VAnarts, this was about body language, that's why the character has that empty face.-

Proportions

Hello Guys! Today I'm going to show you an assignment I did at Vanarts about Characters Basic Proportions:

there are three kinds of body types; ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph:

Some characters, like Olive Oil from popeye, are born to be thin. These delicately built individuals are ectomorphs.

Others are destined to be athletic, like Disney's characters Aladdin or Hercules.They are mesomorphs.

Then there are the endomorphs, characters like Peg Leg Pete or Baloo , who sport softer, rounder bodies and have difficulty losing weight.

To do this assignment I decided to make three puppeteers and play with them and their puppets:

The Goatfather

I love the Goadfather movies, expecially the first one with Marlon Brando.
When we went to the farmyard I thought: goat! goat.. goat... Goatfather! I wannamake something like that, it sounds funny!
So I made it.- I started making some ruff of Marlon Brando then I tried to make him as a goat. I also made a thumbnail for the composition.
I made some Goat sketches to make the characters more believable. Here the final drawing and some of the studies I did.-

My friend Tommaso make me the Logo(thank you Tom).-

Goats are such a funny characters and who knows? Probably me and my storywriter are going to start a project with about that :-)

Have a nice week guiS! Stay tuned
