Sketchbook: Millie_Moose

millie_moose

Hey y'all,

I'm a 2D animation student and aim to try post once every couple days if not try to produce work daily. I welcome to crits and want to use this as a way to track my progress. Work will vary from quick sketches to more detailed pieces

Thanks for visiting!

Elithenia

Looking forward to seeing your artwork

millie_moose

Sorry for radio silence, was worried about what to add as my first post then got caught up on deadlines. I'll be posting when i can and i'm always welcome to crit, thank you

Been working on some pages for a comic for one of my deadlines at Uni, here's a couple of the pages I'm happy with c:

I really like your style and especially the glowey eyes!
Will you take this further?

Thank you
Hopefully! I ended up running out of time and not doing as much as I'd planned. I'm aiming to rewrite it over summer and add a lot more depth to the story I've got brewing in my head

Elithenia

Looking forward to seeing the process!

Here's some of the design work I had done for my comic brief. I loved designing these guys so much, especially Noct.

We had a couple dogs in class the other day and I did a couple quick sketches of them, planning on maybe doing a painting of one of the pictures I took? We shall see.

Worked on this painting over a lazy Sunday cause I was doing some work on branding and such, so I painted myself c:

I got a new multi-tonal sketch pad so I did some inking last night~

Some creature design for another project at University

Another piece for this project completed:

A small snippit of an animation I've been working on. Slow progress but enjoyable all the same. This was my first time animating fire but I'm super happy with it c:

Elithenia

It looks really good! Well done!

Oliver Hopley

Nice one!

millie_moose

I sketched my precious little Paladin, Chamael, yesterday! Was a lot of fun to work on personal stuff

millie_moose

I adore the new animation short, In A Heartbeat!! I followed the whole design process and now that it's finally out I had to draw some fanart of it!!!

Been a while since I posted here and I've got a bunch of things to share with y'all

---

I'd like to start with the finished sequence which I have posted about previously. This was part of an animated project myself and a friend worked on for one of our classes. I'm sorry the gif isn't the best quality but this is my favourite part that I worked on for this project -



You can watch the whole video over here :DD

---

This piece was one of my quick life drawings that I sketched in class, I notice the lighting made our model appear ethereal and I went with my instincts to follow that angelic visage -



---

Over summer I worked on several small projects, commissions and personal pieces to try and improve how I was creating my pieces. I still have a long way to go but here are a few of my outcomes -









----------------------------

I'm now at the start of my 2nd year at University and have been thrown into the deep end. I'm loving it already and have already started several projects for character design and working with physical painting to better our knowledge of colour theory. Here's a couple things from this semester so far -

Thank you so much! I hope y'all like what I've been working on, and stay tuned for more :DD

Another character design I’ve been concepting. Haven’t decided on the colour scheme yet but I like how the design is shaping up -

Michael Knubben

The way her hips balljoints jut out in the front is sort of extreme, and takes away from the clean shapes. I'd make the balljoints break the silhouette a bit less, which seems like it'd still be functional, looking at reference for dolls.

Ohh snap I totally hadn’t noticed how overly large I’d made them. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll make some further edits to her design :DD

millie_moose

I sketched up some new designs for the legs, I made the ball joints smaller but also experimented with some other  concepts. what do y'all think?

Michael Knubben

A's nicest I think, but I wouldn't make the connection between the leg and the joint too harsh. Through linework it's hard to tell whether that's a groove or just a gradual fade, but I'd go for something like either of these:

millie_moose

Yeah i'm gonna tone it down to a more subtle grove, thank you so much for helping me out c:

millie_moose

Finished up a quick draft of a character design for a lip sync project. I was playing around with slightly more textured brushes c:

A piece I finish recently. This is actually the second attempt at this since the first time around I reaaaally didn’t like my outcome. But, sometimes we need to just retry something instead of just giving up

millie_moose

A painting I finished recently. Based on the character Jack Kline from Supernatural.

A character turnaround for one of my Uni Projects

millie_moose

More character turn arounds. I got asked to be a concept artist for one of my peers. So after a bunch of design work I ended up with this little guy is for an upperclassman's thesis film. Which markings do you like most? I like the red and blue stripe the most :DD

Elithenia

I actually prefer the top one  

Michael Knubben

I like C most, then B. So uh, a third, entirely different opinion from yours and @Elithenia's. Sorry?

Elithenia

You should be sorry Knubben! xD =X
I guess the consensus is that all works... just different moods xD 

Michael Knubben

Wrong. Let's tally:
A: one vote
B: two votes
C: one vote

You've been overruled

Elithenia

pffft.... B is cuuute. Real cute. but the others are more interesting  

millie_moose

I agree that the others are more dynamic, the upperclassman this is for liked C the most. I just enjoyed being able to see the colours of his forehead shading xD
However, if I were to choose between A and C it would be C c;

millie_moose

More design options for y'all to sink your teeth into! Here's my favourites from the big batch of colour schemes I came up with. I went with a softer more sketchy style which I'm really enjoying. D, E and F are my favourites here I think? But I made so many choices and I like them all, so all help is much appreciated

Crit welcome

Elithenia

I like them all now, except the grey shirt.... -grumps-
