"Adventure into the Wild" Painting

Didn't time it or video it so I have no clue how long it took. Probably…. 6 hours? Something.

I used this as reference: (so I'm not taking full credit here.)

Goldilocks goes exploring.

More Green Lantern Analysis

You know what this is, let's waste no time to get moving!

Green Lantern Ep 7: Reckoning Character Placement Analysis

I've read through a few Storyboarding books and they said something interesting about character locations on the screen. Where we look on the set should carry through to the next frame if it's a continuous thought and should swap if it is not.

So I colored each character with their own color so I could follow the location without the distraction of their actual colors on the screen. Hal stays on one side until the flip that occurs when they look at the rocks. Then he stays mainly on the opposite side but we don't feel violated by it since there is a good break and good reason for the change.

An interesting study to try for certain. 

Green Lantern Ep 17: "Blue Hope" Analysis

Rule of Thirds & Camera distance.

Color to define difference in character traits as well as character placement.

"Green Lantern Animated Series" Shot Analysis

Hello all, I been really stressed out lately due to life stuff happening.
Sorry for the lag of new art.

However, I do have another analysis for you. This one is a shot analysis from the Green Lantern TV show. It's just the intro again. I could do the whole episode… probably won't though.
I will probably do the fight scenes though, curious how those work.

Well, I hope you enjoy!

Shot Type Analysis for "Green Lantern" 

Episode 7- "Reckoning" Intro

As always, I'll explain my thinking on page 1, and then you can use my 'theory' to continue onto the other pages ^_^

1. Establishing shots are first, where are we. It's a wide shot, reminding us, "were with the ship in space with the main characters."

2. The next shot is 'where exactly are our characters?' We know previously that the ship is in space, and now we get to see in a wide/ish shot the main characters, except Razer.

3. Now we get to see what the characters were all looking at, and the centerpiece for the conversation at hand between the characters: the big floating fortress named 'Shard.'

4. A double reason for this shot, we get a close up on the MAIN character, Hal, and his reaction as well as his entrance into the 'conversation' that the other 2 closer together characters are having(him exiting the scene to the right and moving towards Killawog and Aya). The SECOND reason is to establish where Razer is, which was off camera previously, showing us his overall disinterest and lack of 'group kinship' with the others. 

5. Hal joins the others to continue the conversation, leaving Razer out of shot again. Their vision is continued off camera so we must….

6. Switch to their vision again! What in particular IS the conversation about? Well, it's about the air lock IN shard, the characters are in the shot, looking over their shoulders this time since Hal is closer to them we can now accomplish seeing them as well as the subject of the conversation.

7. We have more characters response, dialogue of thoughts once more. Aya zooms the camera in on Shard and so we….

8. See her zoom in on the garbage being released from Shard. It's a slow pan out as the gas and various debris exits.

9. This being Killawog's idea, lets us focus on him and Hal (the captain) finishing the conversation.

10. We over the shoulder Hal to see Killawog gloat a bit on his guess being accurate. We want his facial expression clear, so we are closer to his face to enjoy his response and still see Hal because…

11. IF we were to see Hal's response next, we would over the shoulder Killawog in this shot BUT since Razer is the responder, we simply pan as Killawog turns, making an incredible shot. Here's why: The characters that are now in agreement(Killa and Hal) are on the right half of the screen and fill the screen, are close, and Razer is the balance for the other half of the screen, and he is surrounded by distance and space, giving his apathy room to 'sit'. His distanced remark is obvious not only by his vocal tones and his pose, but also by the amount of space that resides around him and his half of the screen.

12. We really want to see that sarcasm, so the next shot is closer in on just him. NOTICE: we don't go into just his face. We still let that space and distance linger around him, Letting us see his expression better than before, but its his demeanor and his posing that really display his total lack of interest and his distain for how stupid everyone is around him. If this shot was tight in, we would loose the distance that he feels in a visible way.

And a little fun, "Krono" Edition

New Krono/Fray sketch.
I invested into a background and then said…. You know I just don't care.
So here's the crappy background version because let's be honest: the picture was more personal and looked better from this angle. So you get the blurry, half smudgy background, with fun colors!

Haha, well I hope you enjoy:

"Boooooring"

She said aloud as her parents continued their conversation about the barn. She had asked to go out! Why was this about the farm!??
Rolling her eyes and dumping her head against the table in aggravation, she wished for once her parents would let her go out with her friends.

She's cute, right?
I just fell in love with that pose. It's so fun ^_^

"Aquaman Sux."

Someone muttered in the world above while Aquaman swam patrol in the Atlantic.

He returned to his lair saddened and hurt. Tearing his cape off and throwing it onto his triton, he collapsed into one of his simple bar stools. 

He would never get a good movie would he? 

Uhm. I'll be honest, I have NO idea what this is or where it came from.  I don't even like Aquaman…

Maybe I should start liking him, he looks sad.

Lolz.

Anyways,

Cheers!
