A CHEEKY LITTLE TEASER

so its been about 105 painful days of labourious animated
nonsense i have finished all animation/b.gs/etc...but o no the fun
doesnt stop...oh no sir because i have the joy and pleasure of
colouring every single frame again...
oh yeh and i have mumps....fun fun fooooocking fun!

ok ...so i have been keeping my cards preety close to my chest so far...
not through choice i might add, just havnt been blogging as much as i
should have...of coarse there have been many changes since the last
ramblings...one of which is the aesthetic,.

ok bare with me a second...for some reason i was trying to achieve
a very mature, painterly, textured aesthetic using inks and
parchment...all taditional like!? like so0000...


at first i was loving it, but it was soon clear that the choice of
aesthetic was incredibly hard to reproduce B/G after B/G...
ofcoarse im no chinese painter...so i was soon asking myself
"what the f%#k am i doing"

and so i headed towards a more graphic less detailed B/G aesthetic



ok i no it just a little tinkering in photoshop...
a few layer filters etc... but
i actually really like it,. its got the feel of chinese culture
but the graphic, solid, vector art feel of flash etc...
the characters also stand out more which is a real plus...
heres a few more examples of the new aesthetic - compared to the
old...
