#grease pencil

Rough keys for shot 1! You can probably see where this gag is going. Coy little Popeye.

First frame! Trying to do this in Blender with Grease Pencil . What a learning curve! But if I can get a workflow going, I’m kinda’ liking this! I’ll post my progress on these shots.

Tweens for shot 3 good to go! And it just occurred to me, are gags like this related at all to the term “punchline”?

Clean keys for third shot! That lump is getting closer!

Whew! Took a few tries, but I think I have a rough pass that’s working for my third shot.

Layout and first roughs for my final shot. Hopefully I have Blender figured out enough to pull this off. Wish me luck.

Some color and finishing details (like Popeye ’s tats my wife pointed out). I think these shots are good to go! Time to trigger the trap!

Smoothing those lumps out with some tweens. Bluto still just wants one.

Clean keys! Moving right along!

And Bluto takes the bait.

Training of sculpting and painting in Blender 3D.

I drew hat house surrounded by ALL the hats (also it’s magical!)

I made a field guide about Zora’s Domain (but it’s magical) (and glows in the dark!)

fantasy animal field guide page!

As a nature nerd I love the snippets about the plants and creatures of this world. (From Iron Gold, but no worries this is just a fun bit of worldbuilding, you haven’t been spoilered)

“Nyxacallis.”

I sigh. “Is that Latin?”

“It means Night Lily.” He’s lost in thought. I’d ask him who the woman was if I didn’t recognize the pain on his face. Maybe that’s why I’m so fond of the old bat. He’s the only one in the Telemanus estate who wears his pain in his eyes. Rest are all playing games.

grease pencil magic! Based on an illustration by Cheyenne Barton

Painted this flower with grease pencil, inspired by an illustration by W H Fitch!

What’s cool about this is that I created this horse skeleton in 3D with Blender, and then just by posing it with the Rigify horse rig, placing a few cameras and changing the colours (like I talk about in my recent video) I get can get countless illustrations from it! Working on a collage page - the flowers were added on a new grease pencil object, drawn in 2D - this is all made completely with Blender!

I made a magical journal page of all the horses in Breath of the Wild! (But really I just wanted to pay tribute to my poor dear stalhorse. You aren’t the monster they thought you were)

Horse god sketch - I really love his design! (also RIP to my poor dear stalhorse, I just wanted us to ride into the sunrise together)

Part of something bigger! Hope all you fellow BOTW fans will enjoy it :)

I drew the merchant staying open late to sell you that darn red cabbage! (the pig is also unimpressed)

3D drawing to conclude my arms and hands anatomy studies while learning grease pencil at the same time!
