Toolkit 2: Facial Animation Progress 3


This is the lip sync as it was at the end of last week. Since then I have posed the rest of the face and the head. When I did this it affected some of the closes in the lip sync, so I changed those accordingly.

Premise: Initial Expressions

I have drawn some expressions that I can reference for my storyboard, I will add to this as I go. I intend to make a final sheet that has different head positions/angles when I know all of the expressions I need.


Premise: Visualisation Ideas

These are more ideas of how to visually show what I am saying. I am going to work on more of these and also facial expressions.

"It feels... weird"
I want the face to go from considering/thoughtful to confused/annoyed.

"I can't describe it accurately"
The face in this would be thoughtful, getting more and more screwed up.

"Wrapped in Plastic"
I think I will try this with more plastic going further up the arm and maybe caught around the thumb.


Premise: Storyboard Panels


Here is an idea of how I might open my film.

Premise: More Page Layouts

Here are some more page ideas for my 'art of'. I'm just working on laying out my existing art work for now. I wanted to get started on this and it's also useful to look back on my thumbnails as I plan out visuals to fit my narration.

Premise: Page Layouts

I'm trying out possible page layouts for my 'art of'. I think the first version is best for this page. I would have the next few pages consist of more concept art and then finished orthographs.






Premise: Font Tests


As I have yet to give a proper name to this project, I have just used a part of my narration for testing. I think that I will have the word fibromyalgia appear on screen when I say this, so this is an important test for both the film itself and the documentation.

I think I prefer the very top combination.

Premise: Recording



This is what I have recorded so far. There are some parts I want to change, and there was one section I haven't been able to clear all of the background noise from, but I am pleased with it so far. I will post the script later.

Premise: Body Sheet and Front Orthograph


This isn't right yet, but here is my progress so far.

Premise: Body Development


I have decided I don't want to have the character with visible segments like I had drawn in some of my hand designs. I want the focus to be on the highlighted pain parts that will be orange, rather than the eye being drawn to the joints when they aren't the focus.

Previous Project: What If? Metropolis - Manon

I have decided to go back and adjust my city of Manon so that I have some footage of it to use in a showreel. I am currently rendering some camera movement in the scene.

Toolkit 2: Sculpting 3



I have added eyes and blocked in rough details. My next steps are to continue adjusting the eyelids and even things out.
