trying again

So, this drawing has been a nightmare! If you've been following my blog, you will have seen something like this before. I might have been working on it on-and-off for a year, and i never seemed to be able to like it, but the worst part was not knowing why not! - so after i gave the drawing a lot of different reconstructive surgeries, i decided to start over and draw it again. And then, after yet more failed attempts, i finally ended up with something i like! This is going to be a great day!

merry christmas again!

I just wanted to make a drawing that was a little more dynamic than what i usually do. Merry christmas! :)

The Stitch - the film!

This is the final product - i did the character designs and most of the animation:) read more about the production on the blog. Here you can also see the other creative souls that made this film happen:)

floral lady in green berry plants

This one went through a bunch of different colour adjustments, but this last one i liked! It is a test of how the floral ladies will look like with a background, and after this one i decided i dont want to do it like this. But now i finally know what i want! :)

Character designs from THE STITCH

This is the character designs i did for the little film "The Stitch" that i recently worked on as character designer and animator. When it gets online i will link to the video!

Floral ladies

And now some of the naked donut ladies get colourful floral dresses and new body postures. It took quite some time to figure out exactly what i wanted for the backgrounds, but after a version (which i will post later), i found out what i wanted to do! :D This is a WIP view of the floral ladies that i haven't spent much time colour adjusting yet:)

Are the pink babies a little too creepy ?

donut ladies III

 I have been trying out alternate ways of colouring the donut ladies :)

multigenerational living

For about 2 months i've been working on this very cute and fun little film - old school cut out animation! The two lucky architects, Sofie and Julie, won a competition to make a little film about their concept of "multigenerational living / housing" and I am lucky to be part of a small team helping to make it:) I have been creating the character designs and puppets, and now i'm animating. It's so much fun to get to animate your own designs!:) It's been a very educating experience to work in this medium - i'm looking so much forward to seeing the film finished! :D

Here are some photos from the animation desk:) 

(We are working with two layers)

The animation is shot in Dragonframe, and here you can see my fast (and pretty) animation notes on the screen:)

If you want, you can check out the production blog for the film HERE. (It's all in Danish)

one more donut lady

One more donut lady. It's really fun because they are fairly quick to draw and i dont have to figure out what kind of dress to draw and what kind of pattern the fabric should have and so on. So i just need to figure out the hair style (which is always the part i love to draw the most!), and enjoy being an adventurer in proportion-and-composition land. 

donut ladies

I am making this little series of undressed redhaired ladies with donuts. This project is the result of a compromise, and it has turned out to be quite fun actually! This first one is the only one i will show with the full drawing right now, the other ones are only parts of the drawings:)

this one i started a long time ago, but had a problem with the colours. But i finally fingured out what was wrong, and now i really like it! it's just a practice drawing.
