Creative journal for [info]rusted_soul

Welcome :) This blog will showcase current projects, works in progrees, and wierd, wonderful or inspirational stuff that I come across. Original work, fan art and fan fiction will go in here.

This journal contains both open and friends only content.

* Fan art and Fan Fiction: fan work is currently under a filter- not everybody wants to see it.

* Adult Content: Explicit content, violence, gore and general NSFW is under a filter for obvious reasons. I dont tend to do much of this, but the filter is there if needed.

If you want to see friends only content or be included on any of these filters, drop a comment here to tell me which ones. :)

Some more older animation design work from uni. This is concept work/pitch for a short traditional animation involving a sea dragon which mistakes a wrecked Viking ship for another of its kind. (that's why the mockup scenes below look the way they do; they are intended to emulate animation cels on a painted background.).





Character designs below the cut. )

Still really like the idea behind these concepts... maybe if I get the time and the software I'll actually animate it one day. :)

Here are a few of my animated clips from my Computer Games Design course... about time I stepped into the scary world of Youtube and uploaded these things.

More university work going here for archive/portfolio purposes.

This was part of a group animation project entitled 'Pelicano,' involving a girl going on a journey. This is a thumbnail storyboard of a section of the animation, which I drew based on character designs created by the group as a whole.

I also animated this section in Flash, but alas the work was lost along with its backup file in the Great Computer Virus Disaster of 2010.



WARNING: 20+ images herein! )

It took a few hundred hours, a few hundred pounds and a lot of reflection during long commutes to make this book.

(Yes, it is made entirely from this year's bus and train tickets.)

I've now framed all the work I'll be putting up in the show, here's a (blurry :( ) preview-



I've used these secondhand (and admittedly a bit tacky) frames for all the display work, because i'm going for an old-fashioned, slightly eclectic look. All the frames are slightly different. Nothing too over the top though, I don't want to overwhelm the work or make the degree show look like a theme pub...

Also, furnishings )

I submitted a figurine design for Patch together. It was approved, so you can now vote for it here. If it's popular enough there's a chance of it actually getting produced.



"Based on a Squiby adoptable I created a while back. Cats have nine lives, right? Wrong. Occasionally, a cat who has led exceptional lives may go on to live a tenth. To other cats, they are guardians and guides; to humans they are independant and mischievious spirits- nothing but a flicker in the corner of your eye, stealers of socks and scroungers of unnatended breakfasts.

Able to appear as an ordinary cat or become invisible altogether at will, it is very rare for a human to see a tenth life cat in its true form. If you are very lucky- perhaps if it was your cat in a previous life- one may appear to you. Rarer still are tenth life cats who have bonded to humans. These have inspired stories and gone down in history as witches' familiars."

Folding 'business cards'. Thought it would be a bit more interesting than the usual cards people give away at exhibitions.



The cards include my email and blog addresses and unfold into a postcard-size image. Not really practical to make a lot of these because it takes time, but for the purposes of the degree show they should be something a little different to the ordinary cards I'd use normally...

Our degree show is being held in an empty shop in Morgan Arcade, Cardiff. It's a huge space but I picked this interesting little alcove for my display-it suits my final project, almost like a little study area where someone could sit and read.



Display will be something like this... )

If I can claim a small chair/stool from the collected furniture, this should be an interesting little display...

Some better photos of the finished book, now we actually have natural sunlight rather than rain and energy-saving bulb light to take photos by. :)
