2D dance time




Showgirl character design:

Okay, after a lot of deliberation I've decided to go for a showgirl theme for the dance sequence. Sooo much fun can be had with this, also I get to match it with electro-swing music which is modern and impossible not to move to. Safe to say I'm excited about this. 

The character herself is very long-limbed and flexible. She's glamorous and classy, I promise.

I've started using tracing paper to work on, layering up drawings is easy and the sketches have a real texture to them. I've never liked drawing straight onto computer programs, I guess it's because I feel it limits my style, and lets be honest, the life you can get out of a pencil can't be matched. With that in mind I'm keen to do this animation on paper, as it's a process I admire. That said I'll probably just do it on toon boom. It's a lot easier to control and I need the program practice anyway.

(T.Rex Live in Concert 1993; David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust; every Led Zep album; Pearl Jam, Ten; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction; Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon; Foos, Santana, Blur, Stone Roses jOY DIVISION STEVIE NICKS AC/D- okay the list is quite endless.  The (allegedly) cold, hard truth is that the album cover has to reflect the songs perfectly. So after a good week of listening to nothing but the wonderful Will Dunn's unfinished EP, I felt brave enough to begin coming up with ideas.  When in doubt - run to collage. That's my motto. So I did. Results...
