I know I knowwww, I’m way behind on posts– well in my defense I’ve been cranking out colored scenes (approx. 4 a day, in which case I’ve got about 5 days left at this rate to complete the entire film!) So I decided to share some of these in screencap form of the near-finished product. Enjoy! And send some sleep my way, I could use it

This is what a traditional animator does.
Over and over and over and over.
I just wanted give a feel of what it is to see your animated frames come to life when flipping/rolling them manually.
And I would not complain if someone found a way to give me a second left arm, so I could flip more than five pages at a time
That’s all the preview you’re going to get for now on my film!! Hope you enjoy

Lo and behold! The completed self portrait.

Hey look, I’ve got eyes now! I guess that means I can… see?

Here’s 3 hours difference from the last rendition. Woohoo! Nose and mouth are about done, now the face needs reshaping and color adjusting, then off to the eyes, forehead, and hair!

Yikes! What a scary-lookin’ self portrait (as of now). Just kinda slopped on the main basic colors and started pushing them around from there, then started paying great attention to detail of the nose. Proportions are still way wacky, and as I add detail it’ll start coming into better shape. Also, the background won’t be that green; I just picked up some pthalo green and maganese blue (which will probably soon be my favorite tube o’ paint)– I plan on incorporating those into the bg.
