Wednesday 18

Study.

Working on some logo for the clothes.

Thursday 19

Study, taking more time on this one,

her left eye is a little too open.

Friday 20

Study, I don't like her eyes.

Trying to animate the leaves with a function called puppet wrap in Photoshop.

I might have to try again or just to it by hand, because this doesn't look good.

Doing much more than that on the body but here's a teaser.

Saturday 21

Working on the shadow again and fixing the timing on the stick animation.

I might have to retouch the timing again.

I think i'm nearly done with the shadow pass.

I still have some part to animate and fix.

Playing around with ''spherize''.

Study, her head was super hard because of the little angle.

I thin I got the nose but her eyes and mouth are not right.

Sketching for fun.

I will have to find a way to do those in one day and to nor refine them,

keep them sketchy with nice lighting and color and still understand what is happening.

Thursday 5

Color test on this, ***k saturation.

I did a quick 3d model o better understand the structure

and what kind of light direction i can go with,

still not super happy about it for now.

at this point i'm on my laptop so since he is slow I'm

sketching in my sketchbook must of the time.

Still trying to refine the idea and design for the gate.

The composition is pretty simple but it fit What I present.

I like the hand sketch better than the digital one.
