Space Dog Can't Breathe: Simple Board/Backgrounds

Multi-Plane Background

Pass "1" after a handful of passes. This is what the interior of my brain looks like during finals week. I would like to add this to my walk cycle when I'm finished with it. The project called for lots of pegs and fumbling with the network in Harmony - things I haven't worked with very much, and things I feel much more comfortable with now... I'm looking forward to adding background camera movement to my future animations. Here's my stupid-huge Photoshop files:

Attitude Walk Pass 2 & 3

 

Another rough pass and a final (for now) pass at colors/linework. There's a handful of things I am ready to work on before the end of the year show, but until then, I have this! I am working on a continuous background that should be done this time next week.

Effects Animation: Background Design

A background I comped out on Photoshop. I may tweak it before the end, but now it's time to animate!

Exterior Environment Process

 Process post for this Illustration project due Monday. The top is the line-work, the middle is the value study - and the bottom is the start to the watercolor/colored pencil piece! This is unlike anything I've ever done before, but I am glad to be doing it. It was extremely tempting to add more subjects, but I tried to stray away from my 'comfort zone' of characters.

Here is my post with the thumbnails/initial concept of this piece:
