One Year

It's been one year since the earthquake and tsunami befell upon Japan on March 11 of last year. In this illustration I picked a few symbols - the bridge for getting over the loss of a loved one, the bridge's reflection (forming a complete circle with the bridge) for reincarnation and the circle of life, and the reversed Japanese flag, a white sun in red sky, to commemorate victims of the disaster.

Animation Test

I played around with some animation during the holidays. It's been so long. I miss it.

The good ol' lightbox!

Another shot of the lightbox.

Here's a still from the animation.

An animation test is something animators do before they move on to the rest of the production. It gives them a chance to make sure that everything is right before they spend a lot of time and money to produce the scene. In this case I made this little animation test because I've been doing some character doodling and wanted to see how my doodles would look like if they were animated.

Here are some of the doodles.

This animation test is still missing lots of drawings, maybe close to a hundred or even more. The holiday break just ended yesterday, I will have time to finish this little animation. There's lots of art to be made in 2012, cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Here's a little sneak peek at what I've been working on lately. The garden where I made this drawing is closed for the next couple of months, so I might have to finish the other drawings in March or April. Guess I'll find something else to work on meanwhile. Anyways, Happy Holidays, everybody!
