Hello world! First and foremost, I now have  a completed Oleg Family Tree! I have posted that file here along with some of the earlier drafts to show some of the process. And I am getting close to wrapping up all of the basic symbols and animations for RUS407, I have included some of the progress I’ve made there as well. The dog walk cycle has been looped with three different colors so it can be used with three different dogs. There are also some set pieces and I added a range of eyebrow movements to give the characters more expression. I have learned so much from working on both of these projects, I’m looking forward to working on illustrating the Oleg scene that the Family Tree will appear in as well as finalizing some of these RUS 407 animations! Oh, and I also completed an STA blog picture! I have included that illustration at the end.

 

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted a progress report so I thought I’d share some stuff today! I’ve been chugging along on both the Family Tree for the Oleg Illustrations and the animations for RUS407 online lectures and have made a lot of progress! Included here are a number of animation symbols, sets, costumes and cycles that I’ve completed! The Family Tree is almost complete, I’ll wait until it is finished to upload it;)

Made some good progress the last few days! Last week I was assigned a “Family Tree” illustration for the Oleg drawings. On Friday I found some reference material and made a mock-up of my planned illustration, and today I started drawing it, managing to get a large portion of the tree finalized! I also animated a calendar with pages being torn off, an animated symbol that will be used in a large portion of the RUS407 Animations! I included a gif of the swimming fish I completed awhile back as well. There is still a lot to do with those RUS407 Animations but I’m eager to keep making progress on them and the family tree!

 

Haven’t really been able to post this week but I’ve done some good work! I’ve added more symbols to the collection for the RUS407 animations, like a waitress outfit and a canoe. I also started working on a large family tree for Polina’s family for the Oleg Illustrations! So far I’ve just made an ornamental nameplate for the family members’ names and sepia filter photos of each family member, I’ve included a few here.

Today I worked on going through the list of needed symbols for the RUS407 Animations and completed the Cafe Set and the Fish Animated Swim cycle. Both of these will be used for multiple different animations! With the Cafe Set, I’d love to add a few more adornments to really tie the set together (pictures on the wall, a rug, etc.) but this is the bare minimum to have a working set for those animations! Excited to get some more symbols knocked out soon!
