New Design

I made this using Flash CS6. Practicing with vectors.

I redesigned Rachel, to give her a stronger personality. Reason is due to all the crap she has to go through, she needs to hide behind a strong willed persona, despite the fact she is actually a very feminine and sweet girl.

However, somethign still looks off about the "screenshot". The characters doesn't seem to blend in well.

Planning my work


Seriously? This is what I came up with?! I clearly lack the patience to plan out my animations
Lately I have been very unmotivated and uninspired. I want to create awesome animation but I seem to lack the patience to study the "technical" stuff, like learning Maya and to be more enthusiastic about my subjects.
What's wrong with me? Is my flaming passion dying?
Why is it so hard to find buddies who have the same interest as me, even in design school?!

As you could probably deduce from recent posts, they all look very uninspired and forced. And to make matters worse, my spiritual life is failing. I don't have the same drive to talk to God as I used to.

I don't like pretending, I just want live life sincerely and passionately. I want to produce artworks that could inspire others but it seems like the artist himself isn't inspired.

I need to grow out of this. I need to overcome this overwhelming feelings of emptiness.

Experimental

Was experimenting with a different drawing style. I am trying to blend the aesthetic of both japanese animation and western animation. The style I had in mind was the French style. Can't say I succeeded.

Coloured-in animation

No idea how to get rid of that silly box!!! >.<
EDIT: I finally removed the box! But I decided to keep the old anyway. There's something quite  interesting about that GIF.

Hair fetish

Marissa... a supporting character for my story
Hair is the one of the most deceivingly difficult to animate objects, due to the fact that you are animating several strands of "ribbons". Despite that, I always catch myself animating hair (only). I guess it's because I find it hypnotizing when looking at a character's hair sway in the wind.

Anyway, Valentine's Day is around the corner and I really want to animate a short film. What would it be? Can I do it?

Well, just wait and see! :D
