this is an update based on the photos I’ve taken lately because we need to blog but we don’t want to have to think much.
First photos for you concern the little wooden drawing fellow. I got one assuming that they were useful. They are not useful for two reasons.
1. Their limbs do not bend enough. They cannot touch their shoulders, nor squat as if to take a poo. These are things that real people can do and as such are things that may have to be drawn, requiring a model.
2. Their pointy extremities make every pose either very camp or very melodramatic or both. Hence:
The next photos illustrate what it would be like if you were to climb up a rose from swimming in the vase to being on the summit:
So now you don’t have to feel like that is something that you need to do.
The final photos are a bit on where work is at. I finally pretty much done 12 pages to a standard that I’m happy with for the Flat Land story and so that’s good and that has taken about a year. So great there. I’m taking a bit of a break from that now although it’s cool that I’m finally excited about working on it and it feels like it makes sense. I’m breaking to do a quickish comic style music video. I’ll make it into a youtube or a vimeo with a picture change every four beats. The second picture is the first sixteen out of one hundred and twenty one pictures. Ignore the fourteenth, I have redrawn that separately. They’re not too impressive yet but I reckon it’ll be fun with some colour slapped on.
