W/O x Taco Cat (Flash test)
I did a little walk cycle today, all drawn in Flash and I hated it. I’m not even going to post it ever. When I make things 100% in Illustrator/Flash, I don’t like them as much as something I drew.
So I scrapped the whole thing, drew some stuff on paper, scanned, “VECTORIZED!” it in Illustrator, then stuck it all in Flash where I colored (so cool in flash!) and made it move around. No big deal. I’m getting the hang of how the timeline and tools work, so that’s good.
PFS Gnomes
Thought that it might be time to look at some gnomish common folk. Some non-adventurer, non-scholar, regular ol’ people. Maybe he’s a shop keep? Or just your neighbor? I dunno.
PFS Gnomes
This one started as a male Rogue-type character, and then I thought, what if he had a mask used for intimidation? And what if also there was a THING floating over and slightly behind his head, just because my hand realllllly wants to draw that right now?
PFS Gnomes
Female Rogue-type. As in stealing things and being sneaky Rogue-type, not randomly generated maps and monsters that will likely kill you in 2 rounds of combat Rogue-like.
Taco Cat is a Hero
This video is pretty amazing. It is really well done, and also very motivational! Be sure to check it out. I know it’s slow to load, but it’s kind of worth it.
PFS Gnomes
Another armored-yet-mobile gnome.
Woot: Palindromes (Process II)
This is going to have to be reduced to 6 or less Pantone colors, but I wanted to put it together before bed. All vector, in a similar style/work flow to the bird experiments. With the lightbox, I drew taco-cat as a bunch of different parts, that will be layered together in Illustrator. So the body is 3 little drawings, the front of the face is ~4, some parts for the taco filling, the back of the shell, the crown, the starburst thing, and the ground. I was pretty excited with how this was looking, so I couldn’t sleep without posting it somewhere.
Off to read American Elf. Good night!
Woot: Palindromes (Process)
Another week, another woot competition. This week the theme is palindromes. After a couple pages of sketches, this little guy appeared all of the sudden:
This is TACO CAT. (To the left is an idea for an orc riding on a giant crow – CROW ORC)
I thought this was a really awesome idea, and cute enough (plus: an animal!) for Woot. So, I drew it some more, trying to come up with something that felt right.
In the end, I think this TACO CAT is almost 100 times better than PIZZA DOG (seen below on an old page with old gnomes and such).
