jenna smith and i have a final production to do for our school next semester. we're doing a 2D cartoon and we'll be making it with traditional animation, photoshop and flash. myself, and maybe jenna, will post updates here from time to time with concept art, boards and whatnot. so to start i'll post a concept painting of the main character with one of the 3 "monsters" that will appear in the cartoon. i won't reveal the story or anything yet. but it has changed - it is no longer about the two characters i created a few months back. i think those characters are better left on paintings and nothing else. we came up with this story a few days ago together and it's a big improvement. we're both really excited for it. because it's for school, it absolutely has to be done by early may. in fact, we'll even have a final date on which it will be guaranteed finished once the semester starts. it's going to be a lot of work, but it will be the main focus of the first half of the year, and we'll be working together. anyway, here is the painting.
the_bridge.png ( 808.7k )
Number of downloads: 45here we see the girl under a monster's bridge. this bridge usually has a river running under it, but it's mid-summer and it dries up as the mountains lose their snow cover. it is reduced to a few small puddles during this time. however, this monster relies on the water to live, or at least he thinks so. he used to be a fish, but because he has become so lethargic and loves to stay in the cool under the bridge he has grown very large and his fins are starting to recede. he grew tiny arms and legs, but they are not enough to support him. so you can always find him under the bridge by the mountains. he loves fruits and tiny animals who like to nap under his shadow and the bridge as well. but he only eats the fruits, not the animals.

Very nice, also there is no scrollbar, you removed it when you added the new layout.
I like the last sentence lmao.  |

well i can't fix this scrolling issue .. looks perfect in opera, there's no scrollbar in firefox, and it looks totally fucked up in IE. and since most of you use IE and firefox, i'll try to make some hackneyed workaround
ok now it's kind of sort of fixed. it just shows the entire stretched post in IE and firefox, and is still perfect in opera. i'll try to figure out a real fix someday. maybe when IE finally adds support for overflow-x and overflow-y |

nice shading
howd you get the soft lighting effect? and what program will you use to animate it? i would guess you do shading in photoshop and outlines and animation in flash but a lot of people in my animation classes used toonboom or animo I have more of a life writing this review at 1145 pm than you guys do making these movies. . .
