Final Project


I know, it’s a bit late in the day, but I’m gonna start doing posts for my final project. We’re working with The National Gallery. The brief was simply; to choose a painting owned by The National Gallery, and do a one minute animation inspired by that painting in some way. I chose Tiepolos; An Allegory with Time and Venus. I’ve stuck quite close to the story so I can concentrate on character design and animation, but even that’s taking to long. My time management sucks. We got about 6 weeks left and I haven’t even started animating. I can’t believe the course is almost over. I still have so much to get out of my system. Hopefully, I’ll find a job that we help facilitate my personal studies. Anyway, here some designs and a bit of my story board. I’ll post my animatic later.

And Again….
Wes

Ps: I think I like Father time with the glowing eyes. He looks scary. That’s what I want, and the images from the story board is just a selection so it won’t make much sense. I’ll post the full version with the animatic.

Sweet choice and character designs. The color palette works really well and I enjoyed your animation piece with Bruce Lee; it was loads of fun to watch :)

I look forward to future updates.

Great stuff again Wes. As a 3D student I get so jealous that you 2D guys can just whisk up these amazing other worlds. Your concept art and drawing style is awesome, good luck for your final.

Thanx guys, I'm on a bit of a low at the moment, Trying to nail Father Time today but just cant seem to get him right. Hopefully (as if) I'll start animating next week. I doubt I'll have a fully polished colour version. Heres hoping.

This is all such lovely work I don't know where to start. I love your character designs and the way you have developed them. I especially like the facial expressions/poses of the guy the drawings are beautiful.

The storyboard looks great you have put a lot of work into it and it will look fantastic in your portfollio. I can't wait to see the animation!.
