WHAT'S UP LUCIUS?! AND BUSINESS CARD GALORE!

Heeeeeeey what's up Peeps?! :D It is I once again bringing you more wonderful Squirrel Updates!

But first...Business Card!

As you can see below is my Business I FINALLY got down to making (WAAAAAAAAAAAAY overdue)! I really like what I've done so far BUT I want make sure it definately works before releasing this to the whole wide world (haha sounds like an animal! :D) so any tips and feedbacks would be very much apprciated thank you. :)


Now onto our dear old good friend Lucius The Squirrel! :D

As you can see I've re-designed him (AGAIN) to make him a lot more simpler and cuter and this time I truely do believe it works! :D
As well as Character Designs I've now finally got down onto doing Keyscenes and Storyboards. Below are these very rough Keyscenes and Storyboards now! ;)

BUT...They are in NO particular order and right now I'm not too comfortable talking about the Story itself at the mo because I'm still giving the Story a few tweaks here and there. Hell some of the Scenes you're seeing below might NOT even be used in the end! After all it all depends on what works and what doesn't work really. So just take a look anyway to see my little work in progress.









Well that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D

THE GOLDEN, TENTACLED HARPY YAYZ!!!!! :D UPDATE FOR THE SAKE OF UPDATE

Hey Peep Peeps! It is I once again bringing you another addition of my Illustrational Art!

Well actually Tentacled Harpy as you all know by now isn't new BUT I have FINALLY Coloured it in! :D WOOHOO!!!!! Go me! Woot! Woot! 8D


To be honest I have been trying to Colour The Tentacled Harpy for some time now but this has undoubtly been the most hardest Image of mine to Colour thus far. Hell even harder than Greed! O_o

I just couldn't find the right Colours at all until last night I tried Gold and the rest was history! :)

I love how Colours have now suddenly become my brand new best Friend haha! :D Wheareas before I'd have just left ALL my Images in Black & White, however, ever since I've taken up this Medium I just can't help but Colour everything in now! :D

That's development for you eh? ;)

If you're wondering about latest developments of Lucius The Squirrel fear not my Dears for I am still working on him and to be honest I'm not ready to Update the latest developmets so far because I still need some time to tweak just a little bit more and as the good old Cleaner from the wonderful "Toy Story 2" nicely puts it..."You can't rush Art!"

I made an oath to myself to ALWAYS Update my Blog at least once a Month. Of course ideally I'd prefer to do it more than once but I'm a very, VERY busy woman so I could only do the best I can. What I've done right now is a good example, no matter how small the Update it's better than nothing huh? ;p So I hope you guys enjoy my latest Colour work! :)

That's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D

HIS NAME IS...LUCIUS!!!!! ANOTHER BITTER UPDATE

Hey Peeps! It is I once again bringing you even more wonderful Updates of our little Bitter Friend! :D

I've FINALLY given the Squirrel a name and it shall be...LUCIUS!!!!! :D And after much consideration I've decided to keep Lucius cute throughout the Film afterall since it'll make his bitterness even more creepier! :p
Final Turnaround of Lucius here. (Well truly do hope it's FINAL this time anyway.)

After looking into BOTH Gollum and Preston Blair I've decided to combine the 2 and...Voila! Here is Ze result! :D

I have to say I think he looks a lot better now actually not too mention more life like even! :p
He may be staying cute but that doesn't mean I want his face to stay stiffly cute, he must have LIFE DAMMIT!!!!!

I also believe Eyes in the wonderful world of animation always tells us an awful lot of story of a Character and how he/she is feeling hence it's the Eyes I'm planning on staying focus on.
After receiving useful some Feedback from my Peers I took their advice and looked into the work of Preston Blair taking on-board how he Designed Squirrels.

As awesome as he is (or was) I don't really want to copy TOO much of his Style hence just a case of taking aspects I like and making it my own. :p
YUP!!!!! Just a much more cutesy wutesy, simpler look of his facial close-up.

I really liked the Feedback that he should stay cute throughout because it'll just make his bitterness more creepier.

So what do you think? Constructive criticisms welcomed. :)

Well that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D
