Powers of Darkness

[frosteternal]

A quickie little film inspired by the all-too-real horrors of my upstairs neighbor installing creepy ceramic animals in the front walk-way "garden" of my apartment building.

(yeah I know it's weird. that's my mind.)

I enjoyed it. Nice style. Not bad for a quickie inspiration.

 

I think you got a winner. Kinda like the male version of Dora

Thanks, glad you liked it.

He's very much me, but a bit more "valley-guy/goth". I swear I'm not that dumb. I don't think so anyhow. LOL

And I *hate* ceramic garden animals. They are evil.

 

It just makes me laugh.

 

ps..who's "Dora"?

[Dhar]

Did I say Dora? <sigh> (old age), I meant Daria

Oh okay. Yeah still, no clue. (don't watch tv/cable) I'll have to make an effort to check it out. (I'm totally media-deficient.)

Heheh... that's funny... and yes, ceramic animals are EEEVIL!

and you did the voice? I like!

 

If you do an additional pass or two concentrating only on the hands I think that would enhance his performance tremendously.

 

The eyes are facinating. A few good blinks in there but if you run another pass concentrating on the dialogue a few more strategic blinks to emphasize vocal articulation would be sweet.

You've done really great thus far with the eyes. Its quite a challenge to properly animate decalled eyes.

Maybe a little anticipation and movement of the pupil with any added blinks.

 

...you look like you are already moving there... so I'll shut up now.

 

Great Job.

 

I wanna see more!

 

Edit: Looking again I should have said 'fingers' as you actually have some great arm and hand movement already. Moving a few fingers at strategic places would add even more to it. For instance in the frame below a slight extending of the index finger might be nice.

Yeah, the voice is me. Thanks!

 

I might throw in some more vocal-linked blinks, as I can see a few places that would totally enhance it.

 

As far as pupil movement, he was rigged for it, but for some reason, I didn't like it. When I first sketched him, he was of my class of characters with staring eyes. For some reason the pupils moving destroyed his "look".

 

So he shall only blink, for now.

 

Thanks for the comments, when I re-open this project (after my main project, this was a bit of a sidetrack), I will probably fine-tune him, particularly the fingers as you suggested.
