ACM 420 Concept Art
For my final animation class this semester, we’re collaborating on two short films one short film. Production is already under way for one of them and everyone created concept art and character designs (and they were all so incredibly awesome by the way)! So here is my concept depicting the two main characters. I decided to try my hand at digital painting and this is the result.
This was done entirely in Adobe Photoshop using my tablet. I admit, it is very annoying to draw large fine lines in Photoshop because I’ve grown accustomed to Manga Studio’s line smoothing feature. So I didn’t draw any outlines and started out with painting. The major problem in this painting is the lighting. I’ve done some more touch-up at the end but it still does not seem to be illuminating the characters correctly. And because of the light, I should’ve added more depth and shadows to pop them out more.
I’ve also been assigned to do sequence design for one scene in the film so I’m pretty psyched up. I’m already getting all these ideas in my head. I’m sad this is my last animation class so I’ll definitely have to give it my all!
