Dana is tired of always going to the doctors office, she would much rather be at home creating collages from her magazines and doing other art projects. That is until the day a butterfly began following her around and ultimately started talking to her. First believing it to be a harmless friend, Dana is now finding that there's a hidden price to talking to this little butterfly. A mixed media animated film that centers on the mind of a troubled girl.

Soon to repost on kickstarter
I'm planning to repost this project on kickstarter soon. I've spoken to a few people to get an idea of a price range for things like sound and music and programs. I hope that if you can't help by donating, you'll at least share the page once it's up.

Maya butterfly model
The last butterfly was made in 3Dsmax. Rather than import to Maya I thought I'd go on and make a new model from scratch as the max model made about 3 years ago actually has a list of issues (her expressions were limited, her eye blinks were more of an editing trick, the cloth was more a stroke of luck to get it to work, and so on). Now with more knowledge I was able to make a new model and fully rig her in about 4 days. This model has many improvements I love compared to the other. a switch for the wings, and facial controls for the left and right so she can raise a brow and smirk unlike the last one. I'm noticing that as time goes by my 3D characters are becoming toonier. Wonder where they'll be in a year.

Gertrude and Dana
Having some fun with renders and I thought I'd do one with Gertrude from the Grim along with Dana from Suicide Friends.
Dana model complete
The Suicides Friend's model Dana is complete, along with all her
variations of clothing. I've been posing her to work out any issues and
I believe I've fixed all of them. Now she's ready for animation. Next
I'm making co-star characters (of which there's only one) and then sets
and props.

Dana evening wear
Dana has a few changes in outfits, but as much as I can I try to keep her in autumn colors. All of her clothing has been textured.
