The Hunters get Nasty!

I am in the midst of Scene 4 where fighting, shooting, jumping, kicking ect is everywhere! Surprisingly I am getting through it all quite fast and hope to keep up the pace.

Here's screenshots of the Hunters getting ready to give Blob and The Phoenix a tough time:

(Razza readies his Hammer and Chain)

(Ermot is lining up something in his sights)

Current work continues as Future Project emerges

Blob Corp. Studios is still working on 'Blob and The Last Phoenix' currently on Scene 4 but have decided to upload new screenshot of scene 1 as am running out of unrevealing screenshots in the Scene I am working on :

(Blob tries to outrun the Hunters on the rooftops)

While I am working on 'Blob and The Last Phoenix' I have started Pre-production of My next animation. I will not reveal anything more than the title which is 'Matt and Puds' I have begun to draw the character designs for the two main characters:

(Puddles)

(Matt and his Cat Puds)

I will reveal the storyline and more nearer the time of completion on 'Blob and The Last Phoenix'

'Blob and The Last Phoenix' 70% Complete

Like the title says I think I am about 70% through the animation (maybe a tad more). Last post i mentioned this post would have a big reveal and here it is:

(So the Phoenix is out of the egg.... but the hunters are but seconds away!)

I am hoping to be able to post some pre-productions of my next upcoming animation soon. Details on next project will be released soon.

Scene 3 Complete! Now for the Danger!

Blob Corp. Studios has finished Scene 3 full of jumping, tumbles and discoveries. Moving onto Scene 4 where the main storyline takes a turn for the dangerous. I'm runnng short on unrevealing screenshorts so you will have to settle for a extreme shot background.

(An extreme far shot of a mountain that has been mined for silver)

Next update..... a big reveal to come!

'Blob and The Last Phoenix' Official Poster

The Beginning of Scene 3

Blob Corp. Studios has finished the tricky second scene of the animation and is now moving swiftly on to the third. This scene is fairly simple and shorter than scene 2 so will not take as long as previous scenes before. Here is a screenshot of scene 3:

(Blob has to bounce up a VERY large mountain! Much higher than any mountain in the land)

A watery scene of hardwork!

Blob Corp. Studios now has the difficult task of animating a scene full of water, ripples and splashes. After being ill for a long weekend i feel i have wasted enough time laying about and am now jumping straight into the scene. I will update as i progress, in the meantime here is where the scene is at the moment:

( Blob ponders what waits in the lake)

My Youtube design has been refurbished and can be seen at www.youtube.com/menhenick

'Blob and the last Phoenix Title sequence completion'

Usually i complete title sequences at the end of the animation but i decided to finish this one as soon as possile once getting certain voices needed. The look i went for is a simplistic pastel smudged kinda style with a voice over explaining the history and this will lead into the main film. Here's two screenshots to better understand the style i was trying to achieve:

The animation itself is still in the midst of scene 2 where blob is about to make a very high jump, more updates and screenshots coming soon!

Speeding onwards into Scene 2

Blob Corp. Studios is into scene 2 now and has clear vision of what is needed to be done. Apart from detailed backgrounds and some tricky water animation, scene 2 should be realtively straightforward for the most part. Here is two screenshots from the beginning of scene 2:

(Blob discovers the location of the Last Phoenix nest)

(Blob has a long way to travel to get to 'Phoenix Hill' NOTE: Animals such as wild boars and birds are going to be added)

The End of Scene 1 (Nearly)

Nearing the epic chase of Scene 1 now, so thought I'd release some screenshots:

(Poor Blob, it would be easier to hold stuff if he had arms)

(Razza and Ermot seem to be pretty annoyed at Blob)

Nearing End of Scene 1

'Blob and the last Phoenix' is nearing completion of scene 1 out of five scenes altogether, scene 1 is laying down the plot and getting the story going. Here is a screenshot:

(Closer shot of Razza holding something, what could it be? Maybe a used tissue?)

Back from a 7 day holiday and bursting with creativity!

Blob Corp. Studios took an unexpected but very much needed 7 days off playing the wii and preparing many future animations. Now I am back carrying on with 'Blob and The last Phoenix'. Still animating in the midst of scene 1, this scene being a very large and complicated one will take sometime to complete. But for now here is a much needed screenshot:

(Blob overhears two people planning an evil scheme)

The big butch guy sitting on the crate is Razza, he's a blacksmith and a man driven by money. Oppisite him although not much can be seen, is Ermot a weapons dealer who is too cowardly to lead but has no problem following. Both appear honest and hardworking but.... money can corrupt anyone.

'Blob and the last phoenix' underway

Almost half a minute into the animation now so thought i'd be nice and upload some screenshots:

(A small section of the castle market)

(Blob has a staring contest with a tamed Gazellow)

Start of New Animation! No rest for the creative.

Blob Corp. Studios has already begun work on the next animation and is 15 seconds into the film. The film will be Blob's latest adventure titled 'Blob and The Last Phoenix'. The storyline will find Blob trying to stop two greedy hunters killing the last phoenix for money, after he stumbles upon them plotting thier plan. Blob stealing the Map leading to the unborn phoenix egg travels there himself. Only to be followed. Will blob be able to protect this vulnerable rare bird?

Apologies for no images in this post but as a new project I have little to offer up to the eyes of the public. However the story of 'Blob and the last phoenix' has been hidden away in my two most recent animations. Phoenix hill where the last phoenix egg rests is able to be seen in both 'Blob and the Celestic Sisters' and 'The crystal of Life'. To see it in both films watch the films below and stop at:

Celestic Sisters: 1:35



The Crystal of Life: 2:21



Updates on the animations progress will be posted soon!
