Codename Cookie: Miri Animated Turnaround



This is Miri's animated turnaround. It was created/used for the Art Exhibition in July~

Wonderful 101: Wonder Red




Finally finished the concept art of Wonder Red from the Wonderful 101. I'm looking forward to when the game comes out :D

Progress

Well I've been exhibiting at New Designers for the last 5 days and now....
well thats the big question I suppose.

I feel free to do what I like again!
So on that note I've drawn my new favourite character from a game called The Wonderful 101.
I think I'll ink it later~

The pictures are in order of 1st to last. (top = first half bottom = end)

Do you think this order is ok?
Should I remove the writing/ titles on these pictures (and Miri's)?

And as for the number 1 picture; out of the expression sheet or the actual sketch for finding Miri's design which one do you think should be kept?

Code Cookie: Miri's Transformation

After I had finished the animation I spent at least two days fixing the way Miri Looked, and I'm incredibly happy with the outcome :D

Codename Cookie In Playblastst

(The internet's been on fritz lately so these playblasts were actually made a day or two ago. I'm now doing lighting tweaks and soon/ later today I 'll be ready to render then do the post productions)





I'm also pleased I had the time to get her hair under control, compared to before~

Buisness Card Designs

These are my designs for business cards at the moment (I did make them a little while ago but had no internet so meh)

I asked around and so far Design 5/6 and Design 2 are being favoured.. I think I'd probably go for design 6.

What do you think?

Today marks the start of new and greater days to come. 

Progress report!


After listening and agreeing with Phil's opinion I spent a couple of hours looking for a song suitable enough to fit with Rhea's walk and in turn, turntable animation.

It was rather amusing how the song got decided, it was toss up between 12 songs and I decided to get my parents to how decide what piece went with her walk (Rhea was continuously walking in the background while different songs were playing)

Amazingly enough they both agreed the last piece called "Tootsie" seemed to fit perfectly and could see it working with the rest of the animation. So I now have a soundtrack :D
You can listen to it here


I was also tossing around different ideas while setting the props down, as I wasn't sure I wanted a pedestal but I wanted her to step up onto something (I even learnt how to just for this) but after the various versions of the actual stage I realised that I'm going to have to drop that idea.
I also made the paper stacks smaller after getting an opinion from mum that maybe a bunch of smaller stacks would look better ~

Current version




One thing this course has taught me is that you'll be dropping ideas left right and centre. The good thing is the final looks more like my concept art and in terms of the stepping animation I know how to do something new and will be able to make a walking character step up whenever I want :D





Rhea's Official Walk Cycle

Here is Rhea official walk cycle.
I altered it a little in the end and it looks grand, best walk cycle I've done so far :D
(best viewed in 720p)


Rhea Walk cycle Test

I'm thinking of altering the feet and maybe the hips abit more but so far so good. (and the hair moves wonderfully :D)

So I can move onto the papers,book, and pedestal.
