Haha that's awesome!
You should REALLY add some sound to it too, would make it more complete.
Photocopier: the fact that arne can also code so well

Hahaha, that reminded me of Azumanga Daioh. I think there is a scene pretty much exactly like this with a cat and the tall girl.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Indeed, I more or less swiped it. My 'art' is an amalgam of everything. ZX bot also is an inspiration. As is takkun-bot from FLCL. The environment they are eventually gonna be in is inspired by I am Legend.

' D ' I have no inspiration of my own

This is everything you shouldn't be doing when you're trying to learn good fundamentals. Don't copy the 'style' of anyone. Arne doesn't use those grey outlines that become darker as a style, it's the output of his process, his way of thinking and his tools. You're using different tools, you have a different process and a different line of thinking behind how you do art. Understand the method, don't copy the effect.

Well actually I-

:-X

Here, let me rephrase that.

"This piece was heavily inspired by some of Arne's works. However, I am not entirely satisfied with the result. Perhaps I should have taken a different approach and/or refined it."

It's not exactly that I'm trying to emulate the way he draws. Just trying to emulate the style of the things he draws--in this instance referring to robots. For example finding an aesthetically pleasing and functional position of the metal plates seen on this "antroid" (asdfg) or just the design overall that gives the impression that it is a robot. Face it, Arne does make some pretty kickass designs.

Looking back, though, the things you said still apply here seeing as I'm still trying to emulate something. Making the latter of this post obsolete. So point taken into consideration.

I think now I'll just go study mechanical stuff. I'll check back when I have something. OH BOY, THIS IS GONNA BE FUN!

@Jad, that's pretty nice considering it's one of your first stopmotion attempts (?). Robot doll and dog actually look pretty unique. Had you not mentioned that you pretty much swiped the designs from somewhere I'd have thought they were fully original. But don't worry, as you can see, I'm usually that way too.

Also I know I said I was going to post mechanical things.

I sort of lied. But it'll come later.

Can we post WIPs here?



Lots of pixel-pushing potential if it's scaled down, IMO.

EDIT: Added mountains behind clouds. Although I like having accomplished atmospheric fog it may be too contrasting behind stark white clouds. Might remove.

Also considered how can a crowd hear you when you're a hundred or so feet high? hmm

Nice, Jad! But yeah, some sfx would REALLY bring it to life. BG music, too.

What is that, pistachio? Avatar on the Mount? Start a thread to get WIP, I'd say. I don't like how there's nothing really drawing main interest. The focal is a guy with his back to us? Feels like a bad angle.
