Too many storyboards

It’s late but I did actually finish that reef thing a while ago I just forgot to post.

Turntable render of the dragon model

Finished the stop motion, this version for tumblr (aka not including my real name) 

Credits and animated symbols in place, still on the fence about music and how the symbols look overall.

More blue hamsters my friend linked me, look at em go

This is not how guitars work in the slightest but I love these lil guys and the animations of them

sure hope tumblr doesn’t mangle the quality of this, anyway here’s the rough stop motion. I need to slow it down a bit and add in things like credits and the emotes for the dragon

There was an attempt that’s gonna be redone with a tripod.

A look at the reef and dragon paths through a different camera

Slower dragon wiggles

Early dragon wiggles, on the old design.

Screencaps from working on the reef. I’ll probably find more/make more later. Originally it had kelp instead of seaweed, but kelp was too intense once I changed it from a paint brush effect to polygons. I was sad to find my computer couldn’t handle things moving, though. All that moves because of this is the dragons.  I would love how to make my own paint brush effect so I can generate my own corals. Fan corals are nice and all, but zoas or some torch corals might be nice. The file has a bunch of layers, too.

Some screencaps from working on the dragon model.  I originally did a green to white mottled gradient, then didn’t like how it turned out, so I did patterns based on henna designs. The patterns were meant to look like scales. All in all, I like how it turned out- the eyes glow a little, and the fins are transparent.

I just think maya shouldn’t have dropped *checks notes* 30 frames

Can’t figure out why red’s tail is Like That but I’m considering just handing it in at this point
