Put it in Drive

Some more speed paints from the movie Drive. Each took about 20 - 45 minutes. HOORAY ORANGE!

Stories unlike any other.

 I'm ready to do A storybook, the only thing is I probably wouldn't finish it. Thats probably why I just have one idea that I illustrate like these illustrations here.

Korra's finest hour

Korra did some awesome things that you would never see in any animated show. SO many thing where done right and yet only one problem made it all come crashing down. So much character development and plot was shoved into one season with no room to breath! The funniest example was the last episode where Tenzin tells Mako to give Korra some time (after he says he loves her) well I guess 2 minutes was the only time she needed because BAM everything is better again and this relationship comes to a close (which I hate BTW)

I could rant about Korra for hours, all the love and hate I have for it, but all it really comes down to is one thing. Pacing. And I know people will say "they only planed on one season" well then they should have "planed" on less content. Plenty of shows do great things with 12 episodes so its no excuse for Korra to be so convoluted.

Summer Days Ahead

It may be hot inside, but outside is even hotter! Hot days in Portland are nice, and living on near 23rd makes it even better.

NOT your fairy tale ending.

I'm always thinking of stories. I've always thought of stories. Now I can illustrate a lot of the things I think of to a satisfying degree. I like getting these ideas down as simple storybook designs, and color is key.

Hopefully I will start designing by value and not just line drawings.

Drive: Speed paint

SO many good shots. I (hopefully) will go though the whole movie doing these quick paintings.
All 4 took about 2 hours.

Shot 5 progress

Just wanted to post some progress on shot 5, I'v been slacking lately and really need to step up my game.
Im just about ready to add effects and animation, don't know if I will do the animation traditionally or try something new.

What do you think?
