La Machine Project (progress)

In school, I'm finally getting to Animation Concepts and Techniques! So our first project is called "La Machine". Basically we have to animate balls with a sort of contraption (think Rube Goldberg sort of ideas). 

I decided to go with a forest theme...that involves cyclops doll heads having their eyeballs played with by giant cute bees. ^-^


The above is a (sucky) sketch I did in Photoshop...There will be a total of three "eyeballs, each flowing around in a different way.

After that, I drew it out the background in Flash and shaded it in gray-scale to get a feel of the color contrast I liked. I wanted it to be fairly dark yet colorful...I really like the muted color effect since Flash can be heavy on the eyes.

Finally I finished coloring it in, sticking to base coloers of purple and green. I may or may not tweek it as I go along, but I really like how it's turned out so far. (I'll make another post about character designs later.)

 I'm so excited about this! Even though it's so early in my goal career, a tiny step is better than none, right?
