Animation begins!

Animation has begun on Suicide Friends.  This project has been in development for so many years, I'm glad to start moving in a path that will see it completed.  Here is an image of Dana being set up for animation. She's still being positioned, which is why her hands look like they're in mid hambone.  It's great to see her on set.

the bookshelf

This area probably took the most time, and may only be seen at one point in the film from the far side and most likely not up close.  Along with a 3D puzzle of the Tempietto and some made up young adult novels written by Timm Bird (for Bruce Timm and Brad Bird), some of the other books include "The Once and Future King", "The Metamorphosis", "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", "Edgar Allan Poe", "Don Quixote", and 3 "Spectral art books", a play on Spectrum.

Bedroom set complete

lighting will be adjusted according to the scene, but now it's time to start animating.

Time to complete the room textures.

Posters have been set on the wall, books on the shelf, magazines set about, a desk chair has been added.  Now I need to start on texturing Dana's room.  after that I'll start animating some scenes.  I'm still doing this along with the Grim project. so texture a few things here, then adjust some animation on the Grim. I have something of a rhythm going.

furnishing the bedroom

After building different props, I'm now working to decorate Dana's room.  The lighting is something I'll do later depending on the scene.  At the moment I have a sunlight as a temporary, though I really like the ghost house feel it gives.

textured figurines

a few textured figures to decorate Dana's room. even included one of them anime figures the kids seem to like these days (which I made from the old big eyed Dana model). that's what kids like right? mini figures, anime, and the musical stylings of the Oak Ridge Boys, right?

small props for Dana's room

I'm working on one of the last rooms needed for the film, Dana's room.  To make sure it feels like a girls room I'm making numerous props of trinkets, posters, and other items.  here's an image of some of the small figures being made to decorate her shelves.
