Happy spooky day, all!
Here's another update from the film. Using a camera pointing at my face to do mouth shapes has proved pretty helpful!
I hope you all enjoy your Halloween chocolate comas,

She's heading down there. Will she regret it? Place your bets!
Here's the finalised frames from scene 3; shot 12 of the Monday project, with some test ambiance music in the background that Zak put together…how do you like it?

Good morning to you all!
Here's a few more backgrounds. The green screen on the bulky 1970s-looking computer monitor is a placeholder, so imagine some important and plot-related data to be on there (which it will).
Fun fact - I sort of based the colour scheme on the Commodore Amiga:

Hello everyone!
Here's some background paintings of the kitchen/canteen area if you'd like to take a look. It's supposed to be a place that an active crew is using, so I just finished adding in some details to make it look lived it.
Hope you're having a good Inktober so far,
Paul.
Here's the finalised frames from scene 3; shot 2 of the Monday project.
It's 440 frames in total, running at 20 frames per second.
I've penciled in the mouth movements (instead of just drawing usual "anime mouths" like I tend to do, I had a webcam pointing at my face so I could reference my own mouth f...

Here's inked keyframes from scene 3; shot 2 of the Monday project. The final shot will be animated at 20fps when I get the inbetweens in there and, of course, coloured and lip synched to dialogue!
Hope you're all having a nice weekend!

Hello everyone!
I've been messing around with getting a VHS effect on my work. First off, I animated a simple laugh:
Then I coloured it:

Hello again!
As a follow up to my last post, here's some concept stuff and rough test anims for that Dalek Empire pitch. Those rough animations are *really* rough, as you can see! I couldn't even anti alias back then so everything was jagged pixels!
Anyway, here's the look I wanted for the Daleks. The...

All Elite patrons from July and August: the wait is over!
To sweeten the deal we're sending a custom sticker along with your postcard.
Hope you like it!

Here’s something I don’t think really anybody has seen!
Back in 2001, premiere Doctor Who audio drama company Big Finish productions produced Dalek Empire: a massive (and very long) space opera featuring the full-on Dalek invasion of the universe, intrigue, fleet battles, psychological warfare and a rather gripping ...

An extra pic from the postcard livestreams! It's Juri from Street Fighter doing that meme bottle cap kick that's all over the place right now. The .psd is included below if you want to look at the individual layers.
Here's my original sketch (I actually prefer it to the coloured image, for some reason ; ___ ; )

Hello, one and all. I hope you're all staying hydrated!
Here's one of two absurdly large images for you all this fine summer. As appreciation for those who opted in to 10+ tier, this Dirty Pair pic will be flying across the seas to you in physical postcard form! Stick it on your fridge, send it to a friend, etc. If you ...

Now including lasers, fire, and your submitted images during the coffee break.

Let's colour some Dirty Pair and terminators, because terminator came in second so why not both?

Remember when we sent out scripts to read? Here's a raw sound byte of the first few scenes. This is a test to measure the chemistry between the voice actors. I think they bounce off each other quite well.
After a bit more work and putting each line to the animation, then SFX will clean ...

Hello and roasting heatwave greetings to you all!
Here's a clip I've been working on and might work on some more! I've been working so much that there's 9 minutes of footage so far and it's likely to round out to 10 and a bit over, not including end credits.

Hello again, everyone!
Here's the interior of that driller vehicle our protagonist is getting into in the previous post. Feel free to use it as a desktop wallpaper if you like! It's the right aspect ratio for it.
For the images on the screens, I do those at a nice big size and then just copy/paste them into the im...

Hello, you!
A very rough cut, here. It's the main character manouvering into a space vehicle in zero gravity. It should look quite nice when all the clothes, space helmet etc are on and it's all coloured.
I hope you're all having a nice Wednesday so far!
-Paul.
We're pleased to see Kusanagi relaxing on your shelves!
Here's some locations she's been spotted at:

Hello, all!
I went to a pre-opening of Arcade Club in Leeds on Wednesday, and it was a pretty excellent experience! Here's a video I took with my HIGH QUALITY phone, so come and relive the highlights with me!
A lot of good old memories here - I wasn't expecting to see so many "old" old games like Defender and Star...
