Animated GIF's Note!

I think I probably have too many frames for an animated GIF as you should keep this sort of animation very simple with a small number of frames.. when you start getting up to 20 frames the animation may be too large to transmit to all viewers easily. The fluid animation we see in movies includes at least 24 still images every second -- so animated GIFs are fairly limited. To create a movie of any substantial length, you have to make pretty big jumps between each frame, which means the animation is not very fluid.

Presentation slides

Presentation for ideas of my final year project. - Not my project but Creature concept design ideas aimed at the entertainment (film and game) industry. Slides show who in the industry inspires me and what I want to aim to create!
Basically - I want to create some concept work for a character / creature including storyboards and environment. Eventually to model the basic design in 3D max and rig, complete the detail in Mudbox and then back into Max for animation. My focus will be on creating a character with believable movement.

some fantasy tattoo designs.. a bit too cartoony though.. need to improve and make larger to get the fairy's looking more real.
