Entry 13!

Once my templates for my scenes had all been drawn i began to fill them out. With clothing, armor, weapons etc. This fleshed them out and made them ready to import.

Entry 11!

I then continued to create the website. Adding finishing touches to all the tables making it all equal and perfect. I then began converting all my research into PDF format and then combined it all into one combined pdf portfolio. I put this inside my website folder, and added a link to the combined pdf inside my website in the research page. I wrote up a quick about on illustrator in the correct font for the about page on my website. I also then added my storyboard which i designed into the storyboard page of my site.

Entry 10!

Today i was ready to go! i began by creating all the necessary tables to import my images/buttons into. The buttons were easy to import and use as they didn't change color or size which was something i had originally intended on. Each page would be identical bar the information inside them.

Entry 9!

Once i had finished my sketchbook work i felt it was time to begin designign my website for my final project. The website was going to minimal, red and white as i had planned it all along. I sketched out some ideas for my website that i liked and then began creating it using dreamweaver. I designed the logo and buttons on illustrator and then imported them all into dreamweaver.

Entry 8!

I felt something auethentic was missing from my sketchbook so i took several pieces of paper, drawing viking designs on them i ripped the paper and used soy sauce to make the paper seem old and aged. To add extra authenticity to the images i burnt the edges creating a look that felt aged and decayed.

Entry 7!

Over the course of the next few days i began drawing out my character designs onto paper with fine liners. Once i had drawn a considering amount of viking character designs i pulled them from the pad glueing them to my sketchbook. The characters i drew headed towards the comedy direction again. After i had glued them in i continued to watercolor them paint and adding more vibrancy and character to them. Each character was very distinct and amusing in my opinion.

Entry 6!

Today i continued my animation research in my sketchbook. Not wanting to forget a mention of some of my favorite and most influential artists i added them, as well as the very book that influenced my animation. The art of how to train your dragon. The book had amazing visuals including watercolors of cliche fat vikings that suited my mental idea of how i wanted to draw my vikings perfectly. i researched the artists other work and found he had done the concept art for Kungfu-panda aswell as other popular mainstream movies. Adding images of his art i continued to design my own characters
