Mean Girls the Later Years Update

Here is a large update for my ongoing series, enjoy!
Here is the Layout of the old folks home, a total of 3 floors.

This is what one of the rooms may look like during different times of the day.

This is the wallpaper I created that was used in the previous room. Note the use of lilies as they are funeral flowers.

This is a small prop page of item that might be found within their home with a large emphasis on color. 

Finally here is a list of my color pallets. I like to have a list of the colors I've used for multiple works on a single file for easier access. These ladies are still far from finished so more updates to come soon!

Dalmatian Animation


Here is my final from my observation in animation class. The assignment itself was very open ended and we were allowed to animate anything we wanted, I chose to animate a dalmatian shaking its spots off. I chose a dalmatian because I've owned two before, RIP Desi and Maggie. This is about a months worth of work. First I animated on Photoshop which I do not recommend, but I wanted the feel of a software like TVPaint which I do not have. Though I do find Adobe Flash easier to animate on, I feel that my drawings tend to suffer from lack of brushes to work with. After the animation process was completed, I exported the file as gif and then imported onto flash to fix any timing issues. This meant loading each image (about 70 in all), and resizing them all individually. A very time consuming process but I believe it was worth it all in the end.
