Animation test result....

Wed Jul 30, 2008, 8:05 AM
EPIC FAIL dammit. What gripes me is that I did my damn test on Flash, and I dunno, for me it kinda sucks for animation, though I did my best. What gets me riled up is that when I heard they were still having tests done, they were having them on Harmony, the program they're going to use to animate the series. So yeah, no contest there, so I failed that test.

Still have the coloration test to get results on, but with my luck these days, I'm probably gonna fail it too.

So yeah. S'about it.

Commissions update!


***

First of all I don't want to bite off more then I can chew and wind up not being able to complete the commission...So before commissionning me, just please have a look at my gallery and make sure that what you want is something I can actually do so you can get your money's worth.

I'm not that strong at doing backgrounds, but if you really want one we can discuss it, and I may refuse if I find that it's something too complicated for me.

I mostly do characters, I can do animals...I can do one of your characters if you provide a good reference, it can be fan art of famous characters, with references of course but again! MAKE SURE that I'll be able to do what you commission me for, and know that it may take a while...I can be quick at times, but on some other times I can be quite the slowpoke, so be patient...

If I find that I'm not able to do it I will discuss it with you so we can compromise so that you can get something that you'll like, and I won't have my head torn off. :)

About pricing:

Clean blue/graphite pencil sketch: 20$
Example: [link]

Cleaned sketch, outlined in Photoshop, no color: 30$
Example: [link]
Full color image: Cel-shaded: 55$ - Suspended for now!
Example: [link]
Full color image: Colored in Painter : 75$ -Suspended for now!
Example: [link]


NOTE: This is PER character! If you want a second character, add up the cost of one character for the particular type of commission you need!

As for payment:
I request payment once the preliminary sketch has been approved :) . Payment will be sent through Paypal only! For the commission itself, I will upload a sized down, watermarked version to Deviantart only if you allow it, and I'll figure out a way to send you a full size, full resolution, unmarked jpeg file. I keep the PSDs, sorry! I can't print out your commission and send it to you through the mail, unfortunately. For now, the full digital image will have to do!

Here's the paypal account: thally_chan@hotmail.com and now mclaudeparadis@gmail.com works as well!

So I think that's about it....I'll update this journal as I progress. If you commission me, feel free to ask how it's coming along I won't mind, as long as you don't get pushy! I'll provide you with many previews if you ask for them and I'll modify things if you request it.

Thanks!

Thanks, but my test wasn't really all that good, I did what I could with Flash...

We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Commissions are closed! Check my journal for any updates!
Still weird that they tested with Flash when the actual animation program was something entirely different :/

That sucks... if they're going to use something, why not test you on it?!

It's something I hated about my schooling, they test you throughout, but not on anything you can actually use to do anything but get better results on tests! If life has taught me anything it's do things that involve the task at hand. If you want to clean a room, do it, don't sit there picking up the old knick-knacks you find and reminiscing, it doesn't get anywhere.

If animating on Harmony, then don't sit around on Flash... especially don't make other people use it!

They rigged it I tell ya! Rigged it!

It just makes me annoyed for you...
I hope at least that they get you a good result on the colouring test, since that's something I know you can do above and beyond the norm.

Leap in the room, hit the emergency shut-off valve, beat up two bad-guys, run for the stairs, grab the girl and hurl us both out the upper story window! You have got to be kidding me... That's your big plan?

Hey, rejection is part of the world of art. Buck up, you'll find something :) I'm in the same situation now that the studio is in hiatus.

They always do the tests on the awkward formats, it seems. It's like it's the only format the whole world knows. But you can't fault yourself for not doing your best on it, because to me, you clearly did. I know coloring is a good point of yours, so maybe you'll do well on that. I still have my fingers crossed for you that you pass this one.

:hug: Don't be disheartened for too long, k?
While flash might be used in your test submission, it may be a test in itself to see how far you can push a program that "for me it kinda sucks for animation".

Because with today's generation, anyone can use a comp/program, (or easily learn to use one) - but to intuitively use it and apply yourself/your knowlege to whichever program you face, that's something that takes more than just the help file/user manual.

Don't give up :hug: Ya did what ya could, and with time you can only do better.
