Home entertainment
10pm -Nothing on TV- so sat and thought-
"I know I'll try a bit of cutout animation with Dragonframe"
45 minutes later.... Taadaa! (I run out of steam)
Note all the things being accidentally shifted and not positioned back is my laziness- Dragonframe has modes that allow you to realign stuff but I just wantedto push on and see how it might look anyway.

Sketches while watching....
......watching Manga Studio tutorials.
Man the pen feel is so much better than photoshop- you can go from superthin/hairline to thick like a paintbrush can.(much thinner and far better than photoshop)
Photoshop you are so dropped- I'll finish the book I'm currently doing in it - but after that......
seeya.

Quickly added Christmas Cheer
I bought Dragonframe- a stop motion program.
Man it is so cool.
There's a lot of the stop motion craft I don't know-
especially camera stuff- but I can easily see that so much has been thought out in the program- a weird and novel delight to see in software.
I think the beauty of stop motion is that even if it is "craptastic" - somehow watching it you forgive any technical deficiencies.
Anyway- makes me feel like a kid again....
which is nice.
Also bought Autodesk sketchbook- I only have photoshop CS5 but as a drawing program it sucks mightily- primarily because of the appalling jaggies/aliasing/stepping as it reads your pen stroke.
Hadn't occurred to me how singularly bad it is until I've recently tried:
Sketchbook
Mischief
Manga Studio
Painter
and none of them have the same problem/suck so much.
Actually sketchbook has piqued my interest in concept art again- and plain drawing - so again excited to give it a go with the new tools.
Did a very quick replacement dinosaur for the banner.
Added a hat for christmas.

Night doodlin
I need a real job- if anyone has one.
Kind of getting a revival of a desire to do animation....
I didn't plan or think about that penguin/duck one I posted - I just did it- didn't really think about timing- so some of the pauses are short/wrong/wrong beat etc.
Still there's a a lot of enjoyment and immediacy about it....
even if the light flickers /things done wrong etc ( a lot of craft to learn with the stop motion I guess.)
Kind of reminds me of the stuff I did as a kid trying to do animation.
Struggling with the Little Bad Wolf book- at least struggling to achieve the dream suggested by my roughs.
Must not get hung up on the roughs.
Must stay loose with the backgrounds while I'm clarifying them.
Anyway- some doodles- 25 minutes of noodling.....

Mystery Museum Mk2
Another attempt at the cover. Also a very fast attempt/idea for a back cover.
Both need a bit of photoshop love I'm afraid but ...here they are...
Had thought to do a page of shading/dark/vignette in watercolour and composit it over both in pshop.
Speaking of pshop I need to pull my finger out and learn manga studio etc so i can leave pshop behind-
I hate it.
