Marionette progress.

Marionette color comp.

Final marionette sketch.

I've finally made the final sketch for my marionette concept. Now I'm going to drop it into AI and build a final illustration from him.

More marionette.

A few more thought sketches of my marionette character. I'm thinking on color, but I'm also getting quite pleased with his form, especially his face.

He's an unfinished marionette that has been put away half painted in a cupboard and he wonders why and if he will ever be completed. So he dreams of that time when he will be finished and able to preform, but what he does not know is that the shop where he is stored has been shut down for years.

Doin' some doodlin'

What's been going on here?

I know, right?

I haven't been on this site in over a month. Well, there are often gaps in projects but I'm working, trust me on that.

Ninja Sheep has been getting some great replies, so thanks to all those who have watched. Also, I'm learning After Effects! It's been taking up a lot of my time. I'm planning on doing a lot of my animation in that app to see how it compares to Flash, which...saying nicely, is an acquired taste.

Also, I've been doing some more research on my marionette figure I posted last and I'm thinking on colors at the moment.

Don't fret, more soon!

Marionette Sketches

Here are some very early conceptual sketches for a flash animation I've been thinking on for about a year. Its more about movement and mood than anything, and the character with his elongated arms and wooden face will be in a lot of darkness.
