Day 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 :D

Guten Abend!


So I ran into some issues the last few days and didn't have enough time to actually try to solve them. Following are the entries that I've missed to upload here:

Day 3:

So here is my third day entry. Something smaller today because I don’t have a lot time today. Sooo…an explosion, a cloud and a smoke pile :)
And don’t forget to check out the tumblr of @aletalis her recent animation of Yuro is just adorable :3


Day 4:

Edit: Blogspot seems to encounter problems while uploading this gif so follow this link to actually see it:

Day 4 of our art challenge! I started with something completely different. I actually wanted to merge 2D and 3D FX animation. The plan was to draw an FX and use it as spritesheets, then put in UE and make a fancy shader for it. But it didn’t work out as intended and I got frustrated. So…I started something simpler…flamey flame flame.
Check out what @aletalis did today as challenge…is super pretty and I love the dynamics!

Day 5:

Day 5! Doodles of different kind of FX. I hope I will find some time to get more engine hands-on soon. Game of thrones kinda got in the way today. Crazy last episode.
Anyways…as always check out @aletalis tumblr. Actually I haven’t seen here entry of today but I bet it is awesome. Sorry for the crappy picture but it is late and I will post a Scan of it tomorrow.

Day 6:

 

Day number 6 :) a drawing again. Drawing really feels good currently and was pretty necessary after a long dreadlocks care session. So I started to read Joseph gillands “elemental magic” again. God I love this guy. If you really want to learn something about VFX pic up this book and strap it to your face. So today’s post is dedicated to elemental magic :)
Check out @aletalis@aletalis tumblr as well :)

Day 7:

So as promised a scan. A really crappy one, dunno what is wrong with my scanner. Anyways…I did small PS adjustments to make it barely visible.
Today I started to pick up Doom 4 again and thought it might be cool to do some research here. This ended in me being out of ammo a lot of times because I tried to observe the muzzles :P
Since the game crashed I was not able to do more sketches because it is late and I will go to bed now.
Stay curious guys…and look what @aletalis did today :) By the way, we extended the art challenge to 30 days. Means a lot more to come of this stuff :)

Second day - Art challenge!

So this is the second day of the art challenge with @aletalis :) Check her blog out, she did an awesome 2d animation of her pen n paper char today.
So this is my entry. I really wanted to try out GPU particles because at work we  barely use them.
So there you go, a glowy spiral thingy :)

Stay curious!

Still alive!

Hey there!

It's been a while since my last post. So I am doing an art challenge with a friend. We are doing something artsy everyday and post it. My focus is on visual FX, mostly 3D but 2D animation helps a lot with understanding the dynamics of FX so I’ve tried something small first. A black pixel fire..yay!

It is far from perfect but I just started with pixel art recently and I didn't do a lot of animations so far...so...it is something I can use as solid base :D

Stay curious!
