So we had to do a DRAMATIQUE piece for our Drawing for Animators (aka illustration for CA) class and I wanted to do a lion dance.

Wasn't nearly as red as when I originally painted it. I hate how monitors always screw with my colors and saturation!
Detailed close-ups for the face/fur. And yes, I did paint all of the strands. It was super tedious but I enjoyed every moment:


The compositional thumbs:
Hahaha messy scribbles are messy
I've always loved seeing lion dances during New Years celebration but always found it a bit confusing whenever I saw the people performing them. It's supposed to be a celebration and yet half the time the people under the costume always look so serious or pissed off. BE HAPPY PEOPLE. :D Joyous occasions are supposed to be JOYOUS.

My one min project for concept:
It takes a while to load, so just let it sit for a bit. :3
Feat. Toki no Suna and Airi no Bouenkyo from the Kamen Rider Den-O OST. :D
Some development stuff for the piece:

I'm still not too fond of the final design. I dunno... I'm just not a huge fan of caricatures. It took A LOT of restraint to keep myself from doing a portrait of myself.... *sigh* will I ever get this right? :/
Also the patterns on my shirt were a pain to paint. I actually sat there with that exact shirt hanging in front of me as I attempted to copy the design. XD;;; It was tedious but strangely enjoyable.

We were given 45 sec to make a concept animatic about a character witnessing something. I apologize for the really poopy compression. A lot of my colors were lost during the compiling so here are some stills to see what the difference. XD

These were done for my "Drawing for Animators" class (aka DFA). I had a really difficult time with these because my regular drawing style doesn't look like this. :/ Pulling designs out of silhouettes/textures has got to be one of the most painful things I've ever had to force myself to do... but I'm still going strong! (sort of....)
