Finished a bit of work there, yay! I'm doing my (sexy) "getting thing's done" dance.
I got some storyboards to do this week from friends who are in my old film course. They're putting together a pack for a three minute visual script. I felt for them, I was sweating energy drinks and coughing up cigarette butts until six in the morning getting mine done.
This one I was asked to help out with involves a guy stumbling across an enchanted forest clearing where he is sent to the fairy world. The visuals were very strong and it was a nice piece to work on.
The storyboards veered slightly more towards concept art,. They were still quite rough and such but involved more colour, which i thought was ok seeing as they needed colour to show to their lecturers. I used Painter 11 (and my trial is soon to expire, weep) and I found it much easier to use then illustrator. You don't get the automatic smooth lines as you do Illustrator, or maybe I just don't know how to do that, but it has loads of options and is tres user-friendly.
Here be some boards, argh.
Obviously that's not the whole story, there's more loyke.
I'm loving that people are asking me to do stuff, it's great to learn and build a portfolio. But it doesn't change the fact that I am STILL unemployed. I'll have to start charging balls of money so I can finally afford that chocolate and ice cream mansion.
