Applied Animation: Ident Done!

So we started the ident drawing and we all have three frames to fill in. By looking at Lauren's, hers are amazing and packed with patterns which I would also like to try! So I draw one with a lot of eyes with the original stencil. Nothing meaningful in particular but trying to use patterns only. I also use a bit of shading to make the owl have more dimension.


Second, I think i might transform it into a different character and might be interesting to hide some of its features so I gave the owl a spy look with big coat and hat. The result is nice and I like how it looks so different from the stencil with more lively characteristics now.


The last one, I always want to try drawing machines and so the owl becomes a machine bird. Drawing machine is so difficult, it is not only about the look but how it function as well. It has to be logically or otherwise it will not be convincing. The wings are the hardest part of the drawing because I could not imagine the mechanic of the wings, like what part could make the wings move. Eventually I created some random gears and 'steampunk' looking stuffs onto the bird and I am pretty sure it would not function in real life. Anyway it looks alright and drawing machine will be the next thing I want to master.


The final ident looks amazing when all the drawings are come together! I like the pencil texture and the natural flying motion. I hope we could make something like this again in the future and I could also studying other's style and find inspirations from their work.
