"The Animated Fog Stories Diary."

I thought it would be nice to start a diary. It won't be funny, it won't be a paperback best seller, and go on to make a girly film with Geri Halliwell singing the soundtrack... it's just a bog standard diary. I'll try and update it as much as I can, to show you the progress through the animation.

Why?

Because I can.

Of course, anyone else contributing to the animation, such as Pb, are very welcome to add to it... perhaps we could pile it together at the end, fling it on a DVD, and call it a 'Special Edition', even though it's utter crap.

First of all, if you haven't seen this pic yet, perhaps now is the time to do so.

What I'm basically doing first, is creating all the characters, faces, arms, bodies... so on. I first sketch them in my drawing pad... and then draw them on pc, from what I made.

That was the early Sheepy on the left, and Sniper on the right... unfortunatly, because I smoothed out the face too early, I had to start it again. All it takes away is time though, it will still look the same.

I've nearly finished Sheepys head now, including hair... Fancy a look?

No?

Ah well.

I'll at least give you the choice.

The mouth will need to be made properly, and the eyes could be tidied up...

Apart from that, pretty good I think. It's the first time I've done hair, and I think it looks ok.

Here's something for you to do though... I'm not sure wherever or not to give him ears. I personally don't want to, basically because it's hard, and I'm lazy.

One thing I'm worried about at the moment is lip sync... it's not going to happen. If you have this wonderful vision of all the characters speaking perfectly, get your brain brush, and scrub them clear. You'll get a lovely *mouth open-mouth closed* movement. No more, no less.

And that concludes todays update. I've drawn Ant already, so I may start him tommorrow... or I'll start Sniper again. If you have any ideas, or comments, please put them forward.

Ok then... if you want, post all the links on one post and I will create a links page from my site for you!

Pi** off. :D

Grix, where is a page with all the links?

:D

Good God! I had to click older posts twice!

I apologise, but I've been busy with less important matters. Apparently my physics coursework needs to be finished.

Bye bye physics.

So, what do I have to update you with today?

Not a lot, actually. I drew Meka, and now I've made his head. Lovely.

Let's see who's the first to spot... :0)

Yeap. It would help everyone who wants to look at the files and browse around what they all are, every website has DIR's but some you can't get into....

:D

Directory... file...? :0)

Yo Grix. Have you got the magazine yet? I can't believe they didn't show the whole picture....

Can you post a directory file onto your site so that people can look at what they want?

Thanks
er-no

Popping, for Bonus.

Lol, great work GT. Super Meister.
