What you're seeing now for Mery's face and lip sync is going to change. This was a second attempt, better than the first, but not where I need it to be. By the third or forth try, I think I'll have it up to the same quality as the rest of the animation... hopefully.
So I'm learning I have zero facial animation skills. I was thinking of doing another animation just to practice facial and lip sync animation, but why not just work on this one until it looks right?

It's been a while since I've said something, and for good reason. For the last couple weeks I've been working on an art test for a company. I haven't talked about it because I didn't know if I was allowed to. Don't want to mess up this chance ya know? I was told I can say I've applied and received an art test. I should have more info to share in a couple days. But as far as I can tell, things are going good!
Can't believe I forgot to post this here! I finished this a few days ago, and though I feel I could keep re-doing the design forever, I have to stop at some point. It is definitely an improvement from when I first started with this character!
I've already started modeling, and though I'm hitting a few rough patches as I'm working, I'm still making progress and should be able to show it shortly. I asked a friend if they could take a look at the turnaround sheet I created for the Ember character. They then kindly tore it apart! From that I started to fix the problem areas that were pointed out, but I got a little carried away and changed a whole lot more. Here's a new sketch of how the character is looking. Still though, I'm only somewhat happy with it. Though it definitely looks better than before, I think I could just keep remaking it over and over forever. At some point I just have to stop myself or it will never get completed. And because of that I decided to change the name from Ember to Ember 2.02 (cause there were a few different versions before this one).
I have some family that own their own cleaning business. They've had it for over 10 years now! I've known about it since it started yet, it has never had it's own website! For the longest time I've said, "I'll help out and make you a website!" but I just never really had the time. Recently though, I'm finding if you want to do something YOU GOT TO MAKE THE TIME! I've been working on this website for a couple days now and it should be done fairly soon.
It isn't anything too crazy, just another weebly site like this one. Though, I've been messing around with the code that makes it, and it's been teaching me a bunch of cool things I may put into my own website! So you might see a few minor upgrades to this website soon after. I'll be sure to post a link to it when it's finished! I promised dialogue animation, so here's some (WIP) dialogue animation! I've been told I tend to over animate, I'm trying hard not to do that with this work! So here we go, an (almost) full version of Ember! I've made an older version of her (you can see it here) and this is the updated version. one last part, audience critique. So you see anything that could be improved? Anything that could be better? Post a response and if I like it, I'll work it into the new design!
Next step is to create the hammer, then model, rig, texture, and animate. I was given some advice on how to make the animation a bit better, so this is an updated version! |
