Seinfeld Avatar Storyboard Animatic

Time to upload some stuff before it becomes too old.
This is from Jay Olivia's Storyboarding Class at Concept Design Academy. It's about a year old now. The assignment was to take this dialog from Seinfeld and draw the Avatar the Last Airbender characters acting the scene out. Gurren Lagann was my own personal add.

Done in pencil and crudely animatic timed in Storyboard Pro.
Oh man. It was really hard to avoid editing this thing while putting it together. Some of the weaknesses become really apparent in animatic form. I may have had to make some cuts in order to get the timing closer.

Gah, I've learned so much! MOVING ON!

Drapery Class






I can't post much these days. Busy working at WB as a storyboard revisionist and well, can't post much.
I am taking a drapery class. Most are just fold studies, but occasionally something comes out that looks like a drawing. Here's the winners of the first half of the class.

Two-Face Day 6


I can almost squint at you internet. I've got some movement returning in my mouth. Nicole politely doesn't stare as my lips go all over the place when I converse.

Now for some eyedrops. I friggin' hate eye drops. It's the anticipation that I hate. Just... waiting, waiting for the drop. Ew ew ew. I suspect Mr Dent would have to use special perservative free eye drops, because I'm willing to bet his tear ducts don't work so well and normal eye drops expect you to have some moisture. I'm lucky, my right eye has been tearing up a storm, but my Bell's Palsy seems to be pretty low key all and all.

Pimping Bishounen Two-Face Day 5

I am going to DC Hell. This is Pimping Bishounen Two-Face.
Yes. We've already reached that point. It was supposed to be something I could draw fast. And.... well.... I'm going to be inking and toning it now.

Two-Face Day 4


Good news! My right bottom eye lid has regained minor movement. I can raise it a bit. In revenge, it occasionally decides that the best way to proceed is to develop an tic so I look a bit like evil Data.

Two-Face Day 3


My poor right eye doesn't shut all the way after a whole tiring day of opening and closing.

Two-Face Day 2 and Explanation


Me and Two-Face. We've got a lot in common right now. Both of us have an issue with half of face and half our expressions. We both hate the mob. We both have a legitimate fear of bed sheets scratching our eyes. Smiling at puppies and children may get us strange stares or at least polite averting of eyes.

Now there are differences. I've got bell's palsy, which will go away in a while and just leaves half my face immobile. Two-Face's left, my right. Two-Face is half permanently angry, I'm half permanently confused. Two-Face's looks like it might hurt, I only feel a bit tired. I still have all eyelids and can blink in both eyes. Two-Face is permanently disfigured and hideous, and I'm still cute. Also to date, I'm still not a supervillan, I don't have hired thugs renamed with my theme and I have unfortunately not met Batman.

But I now can make awesome Two-Face expressions and to celebrate my new found split face, I'm going to draw a Two-Face for every day I have a distinct expression difference split down the middle.

How long? How long will that be? To quote my doc, I dunno. Eventually I'll get better. Till then, let us enjoy a bunch of Two-Face sketches.

Today's Two-Face is brought to you by my very dear Batman: The Animated Series in it's Bruce Timm glory. I love B:TAS! I still love you!
