Final pt. 3

For the third part of my final I took a character I lie from the show RWBY, drew her in illustrator, brought her into photosho, then colored her. The hair itself took over an hour and was really hard to figure out how to make it look good, but i'm really happy with how Yang turned out. The main thing i would like to improve is her eyes. I am really bad at making eyes and i think hers could look better if a learned how do make eyes properly.

Final pt. 2

For the second part of my final I reworked my old title screen and gave it some substantial animation. At one point, I tried to make the clouds move at different speeds from eachother to give a good sense of perspective. I spent a few hours on this before i realized that doing so would make it incredibly difficult to match up the cloud animations to loop flawlessly. It was possible, but it would require my gif to e over a minute long which simply wasnt something I wanted to do. So i kept the clouds moving on one layer and worked to make them into a seamless gif. It was difficult and I wasnt able to make it completely seamless. As such it isnt too difficult to find the seams at which i made the cloud image into a loop. I also took a really abstract way around making the elephant blink which involved deleting the eyes from the picture and replacing them with other moving objects on the layer behind it. I really liked the way this whole project came out and i spent a lot of time and effort on this.

Afternote. I dont know what is going on with this GIF. When viewed from the blog, the framerate is halved and it looks like it is being recorded with a shaky camera. The actual GIF does not look this bad

Final pt. 1

For the first part of my final I did a pixel art recolor of Irelia from League of Legends. A lot of other people were doing something similar and it seemed really fun and interesting. I learned some new useful things in using photoshop during this project and im really happy with how she turned out.

WK:12 Upgrade project

Instead of upgrading any of my projects, I chose instead to just create a new pixel art building because i was very unsatisfied with my first pixel art projects. I found a reference pixel art and based my project on it. The hardest part for me was creating the windows. It just took me a long time to wrap my head around how to give the windows good dimension on both angles of the building. After looking at more references with isometric buildings, I figured out how to give the depth of the windowsill. I'm pretty happy with how it all came together
