Watercolor Experiment

I missed Saturday as I was spending the weekend with my boyfriend for our fourth anniversary. :]

Anyway, here's a mid-week update with some watercolor experiments I was doing for the film! I've been doing the backgrounds in Photoshop, but several months ago, my boyfriend recommended trying the dream world backgrounds as paintings. I finally decided to sit down and play with the idea a bit. Here are a few quick tests:

Animation~!

So here's a shot I finished the other day!

Clean Up Comparisons

No animation today; been a hectic week.

However, I figured it might help to see some of the differences between what I am doing now, and the old animation. Please click to see larger drawings. Also, each pair was scanned with the exact same settings on a pegbar, so they are all direct comparisons.

First up, here's Ellie:
A drawing from oh, about a year ago I suppose, vs one from last week, using the new pj's design:

And here's some with Celeste:

And the Phoenix:

So you can see it's actually pretty different now! Obviously the designs have changed, but the drawings are also more solid and have more volume. I didn't actually realize how much better the new phoenix drawings are than the old ones until scanning them tonight!
