Window Squirrel



So.
Today I come home from my daily visit to the local llamas/horse/ducks and cool off with a popsicle…

SCRITCHY SCRATCH!

. . . .?! What was THAT?– Then I saw that Mr. Squirrel wanted my popsicle. A pane of glass and several window blinds were in his way, unfortunately.

We stared each other down for a good half-minute, and as I raised my phone to capture photographic proof, he skittered off. So here’s a quick lil painting of the moment!

Painting Process



This is how I’ve tackled my film this year– completely in TVPaint! First, I’ll animate my roughs, using different colors for general cleanup. Then, I’ll make a silhouette on another layer, and using that as a stencil, create another layer with an overall gradient and a final layer with paint and eyes. Eeeek! Less than one week left! At least these are all done for the most part!
