Sailing Ship Scene 3!

Having finished a large project for Freelance Work I am continuing on with Episode 11 of my Lillium Series. More information coming soon, for now a vague screenshot:

(What's in the bag Pirate Koji?)

Also here's a character design I did for a client. I call it 'Simple Frog'

The design brief was to make it stupid and have a little bit of a human personality. 

Ep. 11 Official Poster (and Freelance Work)

I thought it was about time to make Episode 11 official and give it a poster, voilà!

(Episode 11 Poster 'Aboard The Blue Arrow'

However Episode 11 has been taking a ride at the back of my animating schedule due to the arrival of a project from a client. I can't reveal too much info at this time but here are some screen-shots.

More updates soon to come!

Scene 2 Complete

So that's Scene 2 complete, strangers have met, actions been taken. The story gets started.

 (Blob spies a ship out at sea, who's that on the beach?)

(Koji the pirate)

Meanwhile in REAL life I am soon to be moving home and shall have a constant supply of internet access. Therefore expect more tweeting, blogging and such in the coming days.

Meet the pirates! + Ep.11 Scene 2 Update

As the scene that features the pirates who will be the focus of this episode (and a few more) I thought now was a good time to reveal them in detail:

The Red hair guy is Koji, captain of the Blue Arrow ship. Laid back and confident is his style. The girl crushing Blob with a hug is Channie, she was born almost deaf yet remains upbeat and happy all the time. Her job is look out in the Crows nest of the ship. The strange looking creature is a Gillquas that goes by the name of Artemis. Intelligent and well mannered he adds a little decorum to the roughness of the other pirates. He is the ships navigator. Last at the back is Maggs the ships muscle he often steers the ship when Koji is sleeping and deals with the anchor. He is the classical silent type.

(Blob high in the trees)

Ep 11 Scene 2 Start!

I have started Scene 2 with Blobs first appearance of the episode. It's a short scene so I should be completed by the end of the week.

 

(Blob in his newly adopted house with pet Ignia)

 

(Blob spies something yummy!)

New Blob Short and Scene 1 Ep.11 Screenshot

So another Blob Vs. short has been completed! They seem to be getting shorter and shorter!

Also Scene 1 of Episode 11 is now underway, here's a screen shot!

(Inside the high temple- The guards have brought back captured Pirates)

More updates as progress continues.
