Owlpoo is officially back from holiday and working hard to the bone!
During my time in Thailand I gained a lot of inspiration and new ideas relating to stories and the website layout. Currently owlpoo shows a forest scene and will contain forest animals. I want to create new environments such as desert, (inspired by Dubai) rainforest (Thailand) and many more!
In between modeling jobs I can continue working piece by piece. Slowly but surely things are beginning to come together.
My mission was to complete the "foxgloves" story by February. Have all scenes animated and uploaded. However, I'm quite a slow animater, and through doing this uploaded short scene, realised that I'd made quite a few mistakes whilse making this animation. I should have layered things, and through spending nearly 4 days on this short upload, I think i've learnt a lot, and know how to complete the next animation in a shorter time, and produce it better quality.
In order for the website to be fully launched and functionable, I'm going to approach working on it in a different way.Foxlgoves is going to have several static illustrations now with text, in order to demonstrate page layout to viewers. There will be an interactive element which I will announce in due time ;)
Next week I'm going to begin on sketches, then delve straight into fully coloured illustrations. The menus of the website will change, but I don't want to reveal all my secrets too soon! ;)
Here is the scene where the fox picks up a glove, a digging animation will come before this eventually. Unfortunately when I upload it here it loses quality (same as youtube).
In Dubai next month there is going to be a writers fair! I'm straight there, as new writers may need a illustrator! especially childrens writers! Must print out temporary business cards!
That's all for now from the wonderful word of owlpoo!
