Updating about my robot day project here. It's going to be a steampunk animation. I found out it's a very interesting genre to tread upon. Designing stuff can be a pain in the ass, especially since there's not a lot of steampunk to observe. But by observing movies that play off in old times, and looking for the right stuff on google, you get a lot of awesome ideas for your designs. Bioshock's been a very good source of inspiration aswel.
I like switching approach with most of my animations.
With this project, I started out by picking songs from NG, mixing them into a soundtrack. Then while listening to this soundtrack, I opened MS Paint, and sketched all of the scenes I fantasized about. Eventually I added a storyline to the scenes I had drawn.
So I had some scenes, but I had no designs yet. It was ok, some of the scenes I drew had some pretty cool robot and character designs already. A few adjustments were all I needed.
Interestingly, I've decided to draw my backgrounds in photoshop. I had no idea how this was going to turn out, but luckily it came out real stylish and awesome. Exactly as I imagined it, really!
Fella down here's called D-1337-R. Story's gonna be about hackers.
