Animation (EPILEPSY WARNING)

The animation I worked on the other day didn't turn out good, so I decided to try my hand at something else. I created this to be used later on in the story and to test my animation skills. It's a simple 2-frame animation and more could be happening to draw away from the flashing, but for a first time animator, it looks good.

Progress

I've started work on the next few panels. I'm going to include the first animated gif if all goes well with the work of tonight and tomorrow.

==> Eileen: Stop crying over your poster and be someone else.

I've finally started to pick up making panels again. More thought and detail about each character are going to be added in as of now.

Costume Designs

As all the character's powers increase, as will be seen later on, they will get new outfits as they power up, called God Tiers. These are the designs for them as of now, and the faces are there for reference to see whose is whose. They're crappily edited on, but the outfits themselves look good.

I was having a little trouble focusing tonight

My sudden headaches made it somewhat hard to focus tonight, so I began furiously working on a few things for Jacob in the future.
I wish I could have done more, but with recent happenings, this is the most I feel I can shoot out.

16-Bit sprites

Over the weekend, I started making 16-bit video game-esque sprites to portray the characters in a diffrent way. I made these before today, and I'll get back to the regular updates tomorrow.
These, however were rather easy to make and I decided to upload the 4 of them now instead of periodically as to get away from my own bullcrap.

Next intro

The next intro is going to be for Tyler. However, since it will have more panels than the others thus far, it's taking longer to create. It should be done on either Monday or Tuesday.

Angel Talksprites

These are the talksprites for Angel. The same rule with his glasses go for Tyler's. These are probably the last talksprites I'll post for a while, as I want to get back to actual panels and these are still taking far too long..

Vincent Talksprites

So far, these sprites are the best improvement from when I first did them months ago. There are many more expressions and it seems to be more in character. I'm trying out new styles with the pixels as well, more straight lines and other things.

Tyler Talksprites

These are really all the talksprites I think I'll need for Tyler. The glasses on the far right are used in the story, they just have not been shown yet. They will become a regular part of Tyler's character. The pixels on these are very good, and I'm seeing much improvement in myself. The time is also getting shorter in which I create them.

Lyss Talksprite Sheet

Here we have the spritesheet I worked on today for Lyss, who hasn't yet seen her introduction.
This took super long to edit and color, but I'm very proud of the outcome and think it's some of my best work.

Talksprites

In certain panels of this comic, the characters will be seen in different forms and styles. This particular form is a talksprite. This is the first set of many to come, and includes an alternate outfit which will be seen later in the story. The pixel work on all of these is a thing of wonder, and I'm surprised I could actually make it look this good.
EDIT: I figured to scope the process made on these, I could post links to the originals.

More troll info

There are names for the first 4 trolls now. Barcomar, Mardues, Zillyhoo, and the last name will remain a mystery, but for most of the story, he is called Bro. Along with those four, (And this is going SO far ahead in the project) I've created sprites for their alternate universe selves (they are still nameless). Their corresponding trolls abbreviated names are above them. Like the others, I'm sure these aren't final.

More Spritework

These are 4 sprites I've done for another set of characters to be introduced later on called the Trolls.
There will most likely be more of them to come, and these most certainly are not final in my mind.

==> Try being someone else?

This one took way too long for me to even be proud of. I'm able to usually deck out 2-3 pages in maybe a half hour. I'm so disappointed that this took almost 2.

==> Speaking of which, who's Vincent?

This update was quick and easy, simply put. A few minor background edits, that's it.

Next Intro

This update seems to be taking a bit longer to create. Sprites with different facial expressions were needed to complete it, as well as one with edited body parts. The shoes I had trouble with, but the arms seemed to flow naturally. The first panel is already completed and an full written page can be expected for it tomorrow, plus more.

==> Be someone else while James naps.

This introduction took longer than the other thus far. I ran into some trouble with .jpg files. I usually use .png so the picture comes out clearer, but this for some reason came out as a .jpg and had to be changed. Also, some outlining was lost, which had to be edited back in.

==> Be James.

The next update can be read fully here: http://lunchtablestuck.tumblr.com/post/31588046183/calvin-clean-up-the-shreds

I'm a little less proud of this update. I had a little difficulty editing some of the posters and items into the room, and actually didn't add the drawing until last minute. Other than that, the sprite edits went extremely well, as well as the "universe glasses" panel.

LunchtableStuck

Here is the first panel of the comic. The first few pages can be found here: http://lunchtablestuck.tumblr.com/post/31490940142/lunchtablestuck

This is all I have created today and yesterday combined, and compared to the original, the story is already much more in depth and catches the reader's eye more. I'm proud of the way most of it came out, however, some of the posters could have been done better.

New Sprites

These are the characters I've created thus far. Their names, in order, are Angel, Anna, Calvin, Eileen, Jacob, James, Lyss, Tyler, and Vincent.
These sprites are far superior to those I've previously created. The pixels have been cleaned up and the expressions and symbols have also seen a reboot. Some lines have been made thicker, others thinner. Overall, the outcome is positive.
