Today I watched a few videos of seagulls in flight before making a super speedy frame-by-frame animation. My working process for simple frame by frame animation has become so much more streamlined during this project, by necessity. So much work, so little time. I put the animation behind the final title and put the musicContinue reading “Paddington: Finished?!”

Submission Notes: Please Read!
Jim mentioned to me politely that perhaps I have too much work available for you to flip through to get the best idea of my Character Universes. And he’s right… I use this space to call your attention not to the best looking posts, but to particularly good examples of process. Get Thee Back! –Continue reading “Submission Notes: Please Read!”
Making the Invisible Visible – FINAL
And who knew that I’d be making a Mau’taroth post in January 2023? Certainly not me. It looks like I’d forgotten to embed the final video here, with finished editing, for submission. Enjoy!
Paddington: Names
I did a few thumbnails in my sketchbook of fonts and line weighting, looking at what would work well with such a busy background. I think the white is good – you know where to look. Now the names are there, they sort of balance out some of the uneven compositions. It looks more finished.Continue reading “Paddington: Names”
Paddington – An End Is In Sight
I’ve been loath to make a new blog post for every little asset I complete, but do know that many hours of love and toil have gone into every second of progress I make. Today’s work was to create the “cheers!” asset, get that boiling, put some cute little fizz in their glasses, and makeContinue reading “Paddington – An End Is In Sight”
Lo-Fi Printmaking: FINAL!
Don’t bother sitting down, because you’ll only stand right back up again: ahead lies the final print edition! Delightful! Although I had been really struggling with the workload of this term, this module has always been a breath of fresh air. It was a chance to step all the way back and look at thingsContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: FINAL!”
Sewing (I guess?) – Crochet Adventures
A classic tale of me learning a skill based on convenience. I want to get back into doll making now I’ve got the sewing machine, and had remembered seeing a crochet hook in the sewing kit I received for Christmas. Cut to me googling “How Difficult Is Crochet” on the bus, thinking – if it’sContinue reading “Sewing (I guess?) – Crochet Adventures”
Visual Diary – How do I wash my clothes?
If I was feeling cheeky, I could have stretched this over two days’ worth of visual diary. Lots of good fun work, getting back into the sketchbook to make some physical work. The ink loosens my hand and makes me happy. I think I’ll probably upload my writing on here in full today, because IContinue reading “Visual Diary – How do I wash my clothes?”
Lo-Fi Printmaking – Lino Layer
oh YEAH babey! The image below is actually upside-down, and is all my test prints resting on our drying laundered bedsheets stretched across chairs. Just so you know what you’re looking at. So, registering the lino was always going to be hard. Because I was combining printmaking methods, one registration matrix would not be appropriateContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking – Lino Layer”
Lo-Fi Printmaking: Stencil Layer
I sorted out the stencil prints. I want to say I sorted them today for narrative points, but it was a couple of days ago. I took an A3 sheet of paper, and registered the cut acetate roughly to the center. This didn’t have to be surgical, because the lino layer will play the largestContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: Stencil Layer”
