As I was completing this unit I decided I wanted to show my perspective in the form of my own personal characters, as they mean a lot to me as I have been developing them for over 12 years. I drew inspiration from comic works, and from our motion-graphics rotation and combined them to show tweened comic panels. I also wanted to learn Toon Boom harmony and did so for the rough animation section. I want to share my characters with animation, as though illustration can convey a lot- animation can convey even more. For example, in the fight animation, I tried to show Westley ( long eared dog) as someone who was acting out of anger but was not used to fighting or using his strength by making his movements determined but also full of evading and dodging- he starts a fight that he does not know how to win. Diablo, (The black dog) on the other hand I tried to animate in a way that shows he has a clear upper-hand, he never dodges, only attacks. I used techniques we learned in our 2d rotation, using an animation timeline and using both pose to pose and straight ahead to build up the movement. I was inspired by works such as Felidae (Michael Schaack) for the animal movement and animation style. I wish I could have utilised colour more to show symbolism or dynamic, and some of the compositions could use strengthening.
