Lip-syncing a banana

Exercise done in flash for the 11 seconds club.
It is a banana talking shaking its fist.
Don't give me that look, it was a good idea, back then.
The exercise consisted mainly in lip-syncing and it wasn't easy at all. I heard the guy talking at least 40 times, yet i still don't understand what is he talking about. Jee...


Banana president (uploaded the 10 October 2013): Well there is not a lot to say about this one. It is supposed to talk, and it is talking.
I'd add some more details, like photo flashes, but i am quite satisfied.





2d Balls

We are talking about the basics here. Both Mr Wyatt and Mr Finch told us that in 2d and 3d you can be a God in what you do, but "bouncing balls" will always be the basis, the elements from which you can tell you know what you are doing.
The following projects are my first "serious" animations for Falmouth university: two different balls, two different movements.
Both animations were uploaded the 10 October 2013.

Football (soccer ball for the rest of the world): Yea, i am not fully satisfied with this one. It was the first approach with something serious and physics on flash, yet i'd re do it if i had to (and i probably will)



Bowling ball: Better. In my opinion is more realistic than the other, plus i had fun doing the background.


ANIMATIONS first encounter

Here we are.
It was October, back then in 2013
They gave me the power to animate things. 
Sounds pretty boring, but it isn't. 
Watching your creation coming to life might sound stupid, but it isn't...it was (and it is) mind blowing. Those ideas that first were in your brain now are right there, in front of you, and are moving.
The concept is simple, an illusion, yet we can consider this a miracle. A time consuming miracle. Really consuming...am i exaggerating? Definitely. But I just animated myself, what the hell did you expected me to say?

Another quick exercise with objects. Still me, a little creepier. (uploaded 10 October 2013)

Anthrax viper

Done the 1st October 2013

Anthrax Viper is a creation of mine: I spent way too many hours on this work, if i'd do this again, i'd probably finish it much quicker and add some details. Oh, cmon, i am not saying i am good, i'm saying i'm better! Oh no please don't leave, maybe you are misunderstanding, can we talk about it? Ok go fine
fine
I'll call you
can i?

how to sex

 All right
I am not famous for being a serious person, so don't act like you are surprised or something
I made this relatively quickly related to the goblin's bar one: Goblins are simple creatures like rats, they reproduce fast and a lot (ehehehehehehe oh boy what am i saying) but don't live very long. Curiosity is the thing that kept them alive for centuries, but oddly enough, it also what killed most of them.

Banshee

Banshee is a fairy tale from Ireland, women who snatch men in  the water to kill them. They are referred as beautiful scary creatures, but they are mostly legends to keep babies away from lakes and water in general.

The exercise consisted in a black shape drawing and i used a new cool technique to apply rain. 
Wish i could improve drawing feet, but mother of god i really can't get the hang of it.

Beemoth

Well I am back being on Blogger after a long time lurking on Tumblr. I liked that site, but i can't really get the hang of it.
Here is the link in case you want to take a look at it

I will repost anyway most of my content because i am kind of proud of some of it, not because i drew them majestically, but because i feel like i am slowly improving, or at least i hope i am.
I'll repost my work here in Falmouth and i'll point out what i could have done better
Cheers and enjoy :)

Looking for the Beemoth
Photoshop painting i did long time ago 
I enjoyed (and still do) drawing any type of animal and i am quite satisfied with this one, yet the wings should be bigger. The characters could have a little bit more of personality and the background is a little too simple, but is one of my firsts.
Love drawing the fur of animals :)
