stuff

2012-02-08T16:58:00.001+01:00

Well, just a load of stuff really. Some blacksad fanart, figured I might learn something. And some models wearing dresses. And more stuff.

showreel 2012, rough

2012-01-20T20:02:00.003+01:00

a rough WIP version of my reel as it is coming along. Some shots still need some touching up. But this is what I am considering should be in it.

Acting, non dialogue

2012-01-20T20:01:00.001+01:00

and also found time to do some fixes on this shot...

Action, fixes

2012-01-20T19:58:00.000+01:00

finally found the time to look at this shot as well...

Yet another sketchdump

2012-01-18T21:01:00.005+01:00

yes, I had a few things laying around that needed scanning.

"glyptoteket" sketches

2012-01-08T19:42:00.008+01:00

today we were a few people who went to amuseum in COpenhagen called "glyptoteket"! It is filled with a lot of ancient sculptures. Really nice place, and they even have small chairs that people can carry around if they want to draw. Sorry about the lousy quality, they are photos taken in a rather dark room with my phone. But for now it is all I've got. - update: I have now scanned all the drawings = much better quality.

midway test, once again

2012-01-05T23:56:00.002+01:00

This is probably the last time I will upload this shot. I have been working on it trying to get it somewhat ready for my show reel. And this is where the process really starts slowing down, a least for me. I therefore have to call it done, and move on to the next shot. I am looking forward to that, although this shot has been a lot of fun.

Monday evening...

2011-12-05T22:58:00.000+01:00

Christmas Cards

2011-12-05T21:38:00.008+01:00

Been a while since I have been doing anything in watercolour. These are done on regular copy paper... Not perfect for water colours. Well, figured these would make nice christmas cards...

Rain, research

2011-12-01T21:38:00.003+01:00

Today I did (among other things) a lot fo research on what to do with 2D rain. I am still a bit uncertain about this kind of rain on top of 3D. But fact is, it may just be a lot quicker to do the rain in 2D. we have some closeups of something on the ground, and rain pouring down, which means we need some way to show the contact with the ground. My main source of inspiration on this is Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbor Totoro.
I hope we can do camera moves along witht his as well..

DLO pose testing, Andrew

2011-12-01T20:11:00.002+01:00

We are in some kind of crunch here at the Under the Fold project. We had to redesign our characters and remodel them for our DLO - which is currently on hold due to this.
Today I had the pleasure of testing Andrew for DLO. He is really fun to work with even at this stage, with very limited amount of controllers and no facial expressions.
Can't wait for animation to begin!

a LOT of sketches

2011-11-08T20:22:00.009+01:00

Yes, well, this was quite a lot of stuff... Not sure what to say. I have had a lot of time on trains and at different places. Some of this stuff is for the bachelor project www.underthefoldfilm.blogspot.com

UTF; ROM and Expression sheets

2011-11-03T15:42:00.007+01:00

What I have been doing this week. Some of it. I have also been tending a lot of story meetings and have done a tiny bit of storyboarding.

Animation fixes, midway test pt. 1

2011-11-01T12:04:00.003+01:00

I have begun working on my showreel. Or what will one day be a showreel. At the moment it is just filled with half finished stuff that I KNOW I can do better. I just have to put in a lot of extra work. I have started with this shot because I think it is the best 3D dialogue shot I have made. And I am not sure that I will have time to start a new one. And our bachelor film will not have dialogue. Plus it is fun to work with.
i have a nice list of things that needs fixing still.
And a lot of other shots are to be looked at. My hyena, the shot I did when Michael Berenstein was here (non dialogue acting piece, "The wrong speech" and my exam piece. I hope that will be enough along with (hopefully) a couple of shots from our bach film. And perhaps a couple of 2D shots - I think I have one or two that are nice, but lets see.

The weird animals, now with colours

2011-10-25T15:04:00.002+02:00

Colours: markers. Been a while since I've been using those.

Lorenor Zorro

2011-10-25T15:00:00.003+02:00

This guy is from the mange series One Piece. In Danish he is called Lorenor Zorro, but I know that in other languages he goes by the name Roronoa Zoro or Lorenor Zoro or anything similar. He is my favourite chracter from the series. He is truly awesome. I wish I could make as nice drawings of him as Eiichiro Oda does.

strange creatures

2011-10-19T14:40:00.000+02:00

A few creatures that popped into being yesterday evening.

spiders

2011-10-19T14:39:00.003+02:00

A couple of sketches from the book. Watercolour and pen.

Misc from my brain

2011-10-19T14:36:00.002+02:00

UTF, The Rejecter

2011-10-06T15:00:00.005+02:00

Have been assigned the character we have named the "rejecter". He is the person who tells jobseeking people to "go away, we have found our guy."
I do not htink we will go with the ganster type. I don't know where he came from...

Concept for a location UTF

2011-10-04T15:59:00.003+02:00

Was thinking worker like houses - not too shabbe, as our character has been taking good care of his son, and priority one would have been making sure they were living in a safe house.
It is quite a feeble attempt, as I have never really been doing any BG work. But it's good enough to go here anyway. :)

UTF silhuettes

2011-09-30T15:47:00.002+02:00

Some silhuettes for Frank.

More UTF development

2011-09-27T15:41:00.007+02:00

Some faces for Frank... Some of the faces are based on designs by Niels Andersen Dolmer from my group.

soon our blog www.underthefoldfilm.blogspot.com will be up and running.

UTF developing Frank

2011-09-26T16:25:00.002+02:00

Is still not sure about the style and design, but is trying out some different stuff, hoping to hit something right.

UTF; Frank concepts

2011-09-21T15:22:00.003+02:00

More concept art for the father character Frank.

UTF; Picture

2011-09-16T14:16:00.002+02:00

A concept sketch for the mother and Frank.

Under the Fold, more development

2011-09-15T16:07:00.001+02:00

Had a look at the pipeline and naming convention today - I have been assigned of the flattering Pipeline Pippi role. I believe I might have it figured out for now, and turned to visual development again. These are the best sketches of the day.

Under the Fold sketches

2011-09-14T16:11:00.003+02:00

Some quick sketches for our bach film, Under the Fold

watercolours, wuhu!

2011-08-30T22:45:00.004+02:00

Yes, now they have colours as well. I think they are kind of fun; they sure have been fun to make.

random

2011-08-30T22:43:00.001+02:00

I really like the guy eating a hotdog.

summertime is good times

2011-08-08T23:01:00.002+02:00

what to say

jazz in Silkeborg

2011-08-08T22:57:00.002+02:00

During the summer there is something called saturday jazz every saturday noon in Silkeborg. On a sunny saturday this summer a band called Jazz Five played, and I like their music. And they are great fun to draw.

show reel, WIP

2011-06-15T20:43:00.003+02:00

Yep, this is what I believe will be my best work. It all needs to be worked over again. I'll be doing that during the summer holidays. The two shot assignment with the guys at the bar was my exam for second year.
I have found somethin strange. When I made a "render" of my exam playblast in premiere and turned it into a quicktime file, it played horribly. Then I made it another type of file, and it suddenly looked nice again. too bad we are going to be judged on the quicktime file...

commercial project; team Happy Pig

2011-05-27T15:48:00.003+02:00

The last five weeks we, the BAC 09 at the Animation Workshop, have been producing six 20 sec commercials for the Danish Animal Welfare Society. The group I was in chose to do a spot on the danish pig production.

On this project I did the drawings for the set in the supermarket, some of the set for the outside world, and I animated the pig in the stable shot (both pig and heart).
It was a really nice project to be working on, and we had to find a lot of clever solutions to things - the transitions for example. And how to split up the scenes so that all of us animators would have something to do.

My grandmother, WIP

2011-05-18T16:23:00.002+02:00

Here it is again - I haven't had that much time to work on it, but it really has become better. It is quite nice to be working on something like this. I don't usually make portraits and it is a challenge.

commercial project - fields and barns

2011-05-09T16:10:00.002+02:00

sketches for barns done by Carmen Hannibal CA09,trees and digital barns and textures done by Sara Olsen, fields, forest and comp by me.

sketches the 4th of may

2011-05-04T16:50:00.007+02:00

A whole lot of sketches...

The supermarket

2011-05-04T16:42:00.002+02:00

For commercial project. I was put on the design group, and set out to design the supermarket. This is how it ended up. can't wait for the final result. it is going to be projected onto 3D surfaces, and the animated character is 3D.

WIP, commercial project

2011-05-03T15:07:00.003+02:00

We have started working on our commercials for an animal welfare society (dyrenes beskyttelse) - six groups of 8 people; cg artists and animators.
been trying to make some designs for supermarket props...

jellyfish

2011-05-03T11:30:00.000+02:00

felt like drawing some jellyfish - plus practicing markers again.

quadroped; now rendered and all

2011-04-02T16:31:00.001+02:00

Everything but animation done by Morten Bøhne
Animation still needs to be polished a bit, (especially the tail). But wanted you to see how it has turned out. I think it looks nice.

Another bunch of sketches

2011-03-28T20:38:00.005+02:00

Today I went to the city again to sketch people. Plus a have been travelling a lot by train this weekend; got a few sketches from there as well (when I didn't work on my current animation assignment). I like sketching stuff, and it is nice to be doing it again. Spring has arrived, and that means a lot to me. My mood goes up and I feel the urge to be creative again.

Sketch Mess

2011-03-22T23:18:00.006+01:00

Went to the city the other day with three other girls to sketch the unfortunate people of Viborg. My, I haven't done that for ages. but it was fun. and I plan on colouring some of the sketches with watercolour. Because it has been a while since I have been playing around with real colours and not just photoshop. And because Spring is here, and that should be a colourfull time. :)

My grandmother with my dad in her arms. WIP

2011-03-22T23:12:00.002+01:00

Trying to make a portrait of my grandmother. The picture is hanging at my parent's house, and it always makes me happy to see that she has actually been someone else than my old grandmother; she has been young - something I am still not completely able to believe, even now. I just love the original picture. And I hope to do it justice at some point.

Fox

2011-03-21T13:10:00.000+01:00

Just a quick sketch of a fox.

Hyena - Project Q

2011-03-18T19:14:00.004+01:00

A three week animation. The first week was only spend on planning and rig testing, the two next weeks I animated in MAYA. Morten Bøhne made the model and rigged the thing as well. And matched a plane that fitted the camera and the picture. we were only given 5 seconds, but for my own sake I animated 7. I really wanted to make the walk. Hyenas really walk in this kind of gait. Like giraffes and a few other animals. I worried about this - I don't want people to think I can't make a four legged walk, but our teacher, Jean Ermey, told me not to worry. I went for a very realistic kind of animation, I believe I managed it. THough it still needs a bit of polish.

A crocodile

2011-03-10T14:58:00.002+01:00

I just got my "art of kung fu panda" book and got a bit inspired by the wonderful drawings found in that book. drew the sketch for it in my sketchbook, but traced it in photoshop.

more Miyazaki; Porco Rosso

2011-03-04T15:40:00.002+01:00

i did the line art when i had the cast on, which meant I had to redo the lines in photoshop. they were way too rough. i love the film Porco Rosso by Hayao Miyazaki. never have I experienced an animation feature with tha much... mood, feel, character. It is a greatly underestimated film. I do not feel that this drawing does it justice though.

howls moving castle

2011-03-01T20:59:00.001+01:00

Here it is, agin. I spend an extra hour or two to add a bit more to the colouring. I am not any good with mking the light consistent or anything. But colours make me happy.

Action

2011-02-25T19:37:00.002+01:00

Action from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

assignment of the week - a 100 frame action shot. I got the cast off my hand bone is (supposedly) not broken anymore, and I am glad to find that I sure do work faster now.

midterm test; dialgue

2011-02-11T19:29:00.002+01:00

Midterm test, second year: dialogue from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

this year's test exam; a piece of dialogue, five days to make it. No props allowed. And I spend an entire afternoon at the emergency room getting my broken wrist wrapped up. I do have to work more on this, but I think I did well, considering.
Story of this piece: the character is looking at waitress, telling her that everything is good. then stares t her as she walks away, then turns towards his male friend.

Lighting and rendering

2011-02-09T13:45:00.003+01:00

light and rendering from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

we had a couple of days learning basic ligthing and rendersettings, and a bit of compositing. nice to see something rendered.

Howls moving castle, Sketch

2011-02-08T23:15:00.002+01:00

A sketch I did of howls moving castle. I want to finish the colouring, but today I got my right hand and arm put into a gypsum bandage, which temporarily puts my drawings on a hold. Two weeks I have to wear this thing. Enjoy this drawing though. :)

Progression, acting

2011-02-03T09:48:00.002+01:00

Acting without dialogue, progress reel from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

the last couple of weeks we had to do an acting shot, chosing between "drinking the wrong drink" or "politician has the wrong speech". Our teacher was Michael Berenstein, and he had quite a different way of working than what we are used to. It has been really great exploring another workflow. I also tried out a different kind of animation. I am not really that fond of this animation, but I did learn quite a lot of stuff, which is important to me.

sketches, 18th of january 2011

2011-01-18T23:25:00.004+01:00

Some rough sketches done in photoshop. I have grown quite fond of the little creature.

Further progress on project Q

2011-01-11T16:51:00.002+01:00

More drawings + basic colour done by Morten Bøhne.

sketches

2011-01-10T22:43:00.003+01:00

After drawing hyenas all day, I felt like doing something else. a lot of people are doing a more designed version of their quadroped, as we are allowed to go toony.

project Q, concept

2011-01-10T22:40:00.002+01:00

Just a few concept sketches I did for our quadroped project. It's basically a hyena with a bat's "snout" and a pig/warthog's legs and feet. We wanted something very realistic, but with a touch of something else.

Daisywalk, a few fixes

2011-01-04T16:16:00.002+01:00

daisy walk, fixes, 04-01-2011 from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

it has been a while since I updated my work on this scene - fact is I haven't had time to do the fixes I wanted to do.But now I managed, and I am going to leave this scene for now. Can't wait for the Quadroped project (project Q) to begin!

Christmas holidays

2011-01-04T14:44:00.003+01:00

A bit of different sketches from the christmas holidays. Almost made it through the entire sketchbook!

Acting with Dialogue

2010-12-17T17:27:00.002+01:00

Acting with Dialogue, for dailies the 17-12-2010 from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

we've had two weeks to make an animation to a piece of sound. Erik Schmidt, our teacher, had found a dozen clips to choose between, and I figured this piece was niece. It has a sad bitterness to it which I find inspiring. We started out with figuring out the character. who is she? Her name, age, life, what is her want and why? It was really cooll to try out animating facial and lipsync for the first time in 3D. It was very difficult as well, and it still needs a bit of work, but I do like it noe the less. Enjoy!

trailerproject - done

2010-12-10T14:15:00.002+01:00

trailer project from Kenneth Ladekjær on Vimeo.

The cg artists have finished the trailerproject, and I can now proudly present the work of Fie Tholander, Nikki Starostka, Martin Pedersen, and my fellow animators Benny Søhave and Kenneth Ladekjær. It has been a lot of fun, a great project, and I am proud of what we have done in such a reasonably short amount of time. Enjoy!

more monday fun

2010-12-06T23:14:00.002+01:00

A tiger! Well, in a photoshop mood. Here's a quick tiger I made (from the time when i uploaded my last post and till now). For my cousin Kasper (soon to be 18 years old. So what if it's a childish drawing!)

The fun of monday

2010-12-06T22:48:00.003+01:00

Felt like making something that I hadn't done in a while. This time I only used photoshop, and made the mistake of not having a particular character in mind. But it was fun to make anyway.

panda number two

2010-12-03T15:46:00.002+01:00

yet another panda. Watched Kung Fu Panda scenes in super slow motion, trying hard to gain the secret knowledge of making awesome animation. This put me in quite a panda mood. Felling all overwhelmed by christmas, I have chosen to give this to my cousin Louise.

midnight panda

2010-12-03T00:03:00.004+01:00

Is sitting at school, it's kind of late, and I have just drawn a quick panda in photoshop. Made me think of my brother, and I have therefor given it to him. hope he likes it.

trailerproject; playblasts

2010-12-02T22:02:00.004+01:00

trailer project v002; minor fixes from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

the cga class have been working in groups of four or three people on redesigning an old film and making a trailer for it - they have been working on the project since september. I worked with three animators on the project Jules et Jim, directed and created by Nikki, Fie and Martin from the CGA class. They have made the designs, the animatic, the modelling, the rigging... everything that is not animation. This bit is the scenes I have been animating. Can't wait to see it all with lights and all. going to be pretty!
please make the view large.

Lift-facial

2010-11-19T13:23:00.004+01:00

Lift-facial from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

The exercise of the last week and three days. This was meant to teach us about lifting something (weight), facial and how to use constraints in Maya. For the first time we have also been using a few scripts; zvparentmaster made the constraints a lot easier.
I hope to get some time to work more on this assignement - I think I have a nice basic animation, and it could use some finesse and more frames to linger on some poses. It was loads of fun to do an acting scene again - the last couple of assignments have been cycles, which is nice but a lot more strict.

After dailies I made a few small adjustments, mostly timing. I hope to get back to this assignemnt - it could still need something special, and hopefully I will get better at making that special thing during the next couple of months.

Lift/facial, few improvements from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

Lift, 2D rough animatic from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

Lift, 3D blocking WIP from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

at the moment we are doing a lift, our teacher is Sidney Padua. It's been a while since we've had an exercise that was not a cycle, and it's fun to be back in a less strict environment. I am trying to focus a bit more on planning and working my keys properly. We have the entire next week to be working on this, including learning theory on facial and the dynamics of lifts.
These two animatics are based on videoreference I made the first evening.

A lot of sketches

2010-11-10T23:05:00.005+01:00

I am trying to achieve one of my goals for this semester - fill out an entire sketchbook. I went to Flensbourg, Germany, during the autumn holiday where I got some new markers. How I love markers, and my new skincolour collection from copics is awesome.
These sketches represent: some fanart (I like Despicable me and the artist who is doing "hark, a vagrant") and a lot of my own stuff. Watercolour or markers or nothing.

Daisy walk, before dailies

2010-11-10T23:02:00.002+01:00

Daisy Walk, before dailies session from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

My first fourlegged walk. I have already done some changes, and our teacher, Sidney Padua is going to comment on those and probably help me fix it a bit = I am going to post another version (a better version) of this walk in a couple of days). I do think I managed to do an okay walk.

Carrot salesman

2010-11-05T13:10:00.003+01:00

At the animation Workshop we have an ongoing project called TAWMonkey. Every week there is a new topic, and we just make a drawing for it. this week it was carrot salesman, and for the first time my mind came up with a drawing very fast. This is just a quick sketch, coloured with makers.

Sketches, croqui and such

2010-10-10T17:09:00.002+02:00

It's been a while since I've uploaded stuff from my sketchbook. Here is a "best of the month" sort of.

Standard Walk

2010-10-08T22:21:00.001+02:00

Standard Walk from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

The work of this week - a standard walk. Did I have a lot of trouble with this...

Sketch, girl on floor

2010-10-05T10:13:00.002+02:00

Didn't know what to do last evening. In the end I opened up photoshop and tried to make´something. anything. and a pink blob of colour became the head, inspiring me to continue. It didn't take too long, and I still don't know what to think of it.

Hogan Bow

2010-10-04T12:57:00.001+02:00

The Bow from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

We had a week to do this animation - inclluding using videoreference. Imagine he is wearing a hat, taking it off and in the end holding it in his hands.

Quick photoshop Viking

2010-09-28T22:45:00.003+02:00

A quick photoshop sketch. I drew the helmet, and underneath the viking popped out.

Hogan poses

2010-09-28T10:10:00.001+02:00

hogan poses from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

To get to know Hogan, we had to do a set of seven poses showing a set of emotions embarassed, inhibited, frantic, smug, deflated, nervous, and finally we could choose between interested, exposed or tolerant.

Breaking down poses

2010-09-28T10:08:00.001+02:00

Breaking down poses, action Movement from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

People were feeling a bit overwhelmed by Hogan, and we took a step back. We had to make two poses and a couple of breakdowns for an action movement. We only had a day.

Hogan, Shifting weight

2010-09-23T12:20:00.003+02:00

Shifting Weight, Hogan from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

The assignment of the last day and a half. Hogan should shift his weight and react to something. It's my first go with a full character.
I did have some problems with IK arms, I might try FK for the next assignment.

Drawings coloured, sketches

2010-09-20T22:41:00.004+02:00

As promised now with water colour.
And a set of sketches drawn from the music video for "Day 'n' Night" by Kid Cudi vs Crookers, a video I find hilariuos.

The work of the last few days - wednesday afternoon to friday afternoon. I had no idea about what I wanted to do with this assignment - just make the floursack do something, either dance or some kind of act. Since i couldn't come up with a story I ended up doing a dance.
Music is Daft Punk, Around the World.

New sketchbook for the 3rd semester

2010-09-16T21:31:00.005+02:00

Once again the school has given us an entire sketchbook to be filled this semester - this time I am planning on filling every single page. These sketches are from the first couple of weeks. They will probably be coloured with watercolour some of them. Gonna be great!

Floursack Hop Cycle from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

Yesterdays work. We got a few hours to do this - I really wanted to focus on twisting the character, in order to use the 3D space. I think I succeeded, though I still think it pops a bit. Less than originally, but found it a hard fix.

Last bit of summer 2010

The last collection of sketches from the summer 2010.

Photoshop Creature

2010-09-12T17:19:00.003+02:00

Had a couple of spare hours today and since I was already at the school, I opened up photoshop. Again, i wanted to do something different, which ended up in this drawing. I most certainly need more practise.

Luxo lamp, take

luxo lamp, take from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

Firstly, the assignment. We had a couple of days to make the lamp jump, and we had to copy-paste the jump. The lamp would then have to stop and do a take. And we had no more than 200 frames to work with. If I could change something now, I would try to make the extreme on the take less extreme, and I would make the head less bouncy on the jumps.

Luxo Lamp, Jump Loop 2 from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

the first of the stuff from the last week, which I felt like uploading here. We have just started learning how to use Maya which, I am happy to say, I am enjoying quite much at the moment.
There will be more - second year, here we go!

summer sun

2010-08-25T18:03:00.004+02:00

Oh, do I miss the sun. The summer started warm and full of sunshine. And now - yes, rain and wind. Sigh. I wish suns could do like this.

Summer monster

2010-07-25T18:05:00.002+02:00

Yet a monster. wanted to try out a new style.

small landscape

2010-07-25T18:04:00.003+02:00

A small landscape I did... I kind of like it, being one of the few of it's kind. I am not very landscape oriented.

Summer monsters

2010-07-25T18:00:00.003+02:00

I felt like drawing monsters during the football world championship final. My team was loosing, which meant I did not feel guilty about letting the creative energy take over.

summer sketches 2010, France

2010-07-25T17:54:00.005+02:00

Once again, I went to France for two weeks this summer - with my family. I drew a bit, and here I have collected the ones I liked the best. most of the drawings in this post are sketches of the people by the pool.

Congratulations on finishing "gymnasiet"!

2010-07-07T18:48:00.003+02:00

My brother and his girlfriend just finished gymnasiet and I felt like making them a card each. My brothers girlfriend got the elephant, which might be a bit too childish. I didn't know what to draw, so I just let my imagination come up with something. And I like it.

Exam, first year, second semester

Exam, first year, second semester from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

Our exam at the end of first year. We got 5 days to do a 100 frame animation of bill from Family Dog. He had to take the last step towards the chair, turn on the tv, sit down and then suddenly jump up, land and look back at the dog. At this moment I do not know if I will pass or not, but I am fairly sure this animation is quite good enough.

news: I went to the interview about the exam. I got the next best grade, which I am proud of. They liked my timing, which I got 5 out of 5 points for. Nothing was considered bad, just with minor flaws that comes with being new to animation.

colour class with Lawrence Marvit

2010-06-07T15:40:00.002+02:00

The last class of the year; colour class with Lawrence Marvit. Colour is in no way easy to get right. and I failed big time. but I had fun, and this is what I did the entire week. top picture is the first thing I did, trying to copy an impressionistic painting. next ones are me trying to put colour onto a Gustave Doré drawing, and the last ones with the monster is "monster taking over ancient rome", trying to make light work. Difficult! But again, fun, and I most certainly learned a lot.

2010-06-07T15:38:00.003+02:00

2010-06-07T15:36:00.003+02:00

Some stuff from my sketchbook, now handed in for the school, because it's the end of the semester. This time I almost filled the entire book, which I am rather proud of.

Oscar walking

Oscar walking from Stine Agerskov Frandsen on Vimeo.

a small "do what you want with this character"-exercise. The character is not one of my characters, it was given by the school, probably from a poudriere co-production. It is made in Flash, this is my first own animation in this program.

two owls

2010-05-18T14:56:00.004+02:00

Yesterday I felt like doing something for the fun of it. I really love the owls, even the fish-like wings. I messed up the background though.
