Animation test 2


    Amelia Grace
 
This is my latest animation test for Amelia Grace, unlike my last test where I drew the frames freehand, this time I used Rotoscoping, which is created by shooting a live piece of footage, breaking it down into individual frames and then drawing over the footage by hand. First I shot the footage, then uploaded it onto my computer, I then traced over the key frames of the film then scanned those into the computer.  
 
These were the initial sketches I traced by hand.
 
 
 
I then uploaded my frames into Photoshop which allowed me to add colour and tidy up the lines and shapes of my drawings.
 
 
I'm currently having some issues uploading the video but I will get it up ASAP!! XD

Merida + Rapunzel



This is just an idea I had after watching these two films, thought it might be sweet to do something with both characters.

Coloured and edited using Photoshop of course, but I've found a technique that makes really good hair!!
I wasn't really happy with the background, so I applied the same technique I used to create the hair, and added a circle of grass to help ground the characters in the picture, also adding grass over the top of the characters to make the grass look real.

Coloured Concepts


    Amelia Grace

Here are the promised Coloured versions of the King and Queen, I am finding it hard deciding on a design for Malum, my villain, any ideas would be welcome.
 
King Belcrast
I decided to go with a crimson colour scheme for the Belcrast house as they are mostly male dominated in my story and I think that red looks good on a fat king!!
 
Queen Amden
I decided to give the Amden house a royal blue colour scheme to make it more feminine and slightly softer than the red of the Belcrast house.
 
 
 
 
 

New Character sketches


    Amelia Grace

Here are my character designs for King Belcrast and Queen Amden. Coloured versions on the way.
 
King Belcrast
I decided to model my King on Henry 8th because I wanted
a character who was jolly around his own people but
hard and stern when it comes to his enemies.
 
 
Queen Amden
I'm not happy with the face, I will go back in and change it
 before I colour this one in I think!

Coloured Character Concepts


    Amelia Grace
A couple more characters for you, it took me a while to decide upon a colour scheme for Rylian but I think the dark blue works well. I also wanted to give amelia her own side kick/ pet as all Disney princesses seem to have them, e.g Rapunzel and Pascal, Arial and Flounder, and since she lives with a famiy of goat herders I decided to give her a goat called Billy!

Destiny - Rylian's horse
I think that Destiny will be like all Disney horses, cheeky and funny, and a complete wuss!!!
