Chic&Choc in the North Pole

Edouard, the escargot

 Last week, there were some rainy days in London.

I'm walking every day, so I've seen plenty of snails :-)

Got inspired by them and the coming Christmas, too

Animatic, Introduction, Chic&Choc project

I set a project schedule for myself. This week was the animatic week, record noises, voices. Obviously its quality isn't 100%. (But right now I don't have facilities to make it better.) 

Next week from Monday I'll attempt to animate with Flash (what I have only limited knowledge).
The aim of this project is to work on limited time and to learn Flash.

Here is the rough animatic of the story:

Concept art, Mongolia

Last summer, I was in Mongolia with my boyfriend and I've really enjoyed it. We spent 2.5 hours on the horses, until we got to an other family. Up to the hills, down to a valley...

I  haven't done any artwork about it, but I always wanted to...So here is a quick concept drawing.

Drawing in perspective II.

Drawing in perspective

 Learning to draw in perspective...I've got to learn it!!! But properly.

On the way somewhere. I've found a great book for it. 

Andrew Loomis, Succesful drawing, very detailed.

I've started, because I wanted to lighting, but first I should be able to draw well in 3d...

Mani

He is an other regular customer, who comes often to look at the books.

Showreel-2012

A new showreel of mine:

http://youtu.be/13ae4BK94pU

Ahogy az ihlet születik...

S egyszer csak voltam.
-Élet.? Mi az?
Vártam és vártam...

Majd megindult valami.
Mint egy vízcsepp,
Ahogy legördül a poháron...

Utat tört egy érzés.

-Igen! Megvan.
-Ennek kell lennie.

S kezem vaktában cselekedett.

Agyag és kéz,
Faszén és kéz,
egy tollvonás...

S kész!

Emma Thompson caricature painted in Photoshop

I've seen Emma Thompson in a coffee shop, about 2-3 months ago. 

I was still working there, as a shop assistant when she stepped into the shop and bought some cupcakes from me. I was very happy to see her in real life. 

Now, I'm learning to draw caricatures and I had the idea to draw her.

Felipe, the waiter and the character animator

Felipe is one of my friends from school. I was doodling a character and suddenly, it became a bit like him. Then I created some equipments around him which fit well with him.

At the moment, he is pressing the esc button...looking for a professional job in animation.
Here is his blog address:

Bug Ond, a sergeant from 'The Land'...

Character development,...strong and soldierlike personality. Faith in army and in the better future.

'-Peace is the only possible way! But we cannot maintain it without war!'-saying Bug Ond. 

However, he is wrong and he is just about to find it out :-)

Inspired by Chris Wilder's drawings

I feel that he's from the same world Chris.

Trying out Matchmover with Maya

I recorded this video footage at home in the kitchen. Then I composited the white ball into the scene.

It's my very first piece using MatchMover with Maya.

Robert, a cranky, old man with an extremely huge nose

It's made by hand, basic clay the material. Working in progress.

I inspired from a big, nice nose from someone who is very important for me.

One hand, who is very alive...

I couldn't sleep and I wrote a little poem. I'm planning to do a short animation for it and I'm going to read loudly the poem while the pictures are changing.
Here you can read it:


One hand, who is very alive...


One hand,
who is very alive,
Seeking a piece
of biscuit to survive.
Night comes
with a lot of Fear:
-What makes things disappear?


One hand,
who is very alive,
Waiting for the darkest night.
Full Moon and a scary noise:
-Where is my new toy?


One hand,
who is very alive,
Sleeping calmly after the night.
Dreaming about happy things.
And smiling, 
Smiling on everything.
