Ravana

This is the drawing of the sketch I posted a few weeks ago. Finally had the time to finished it up.

Monster inspired by Hindu Myth's Ravana.
Ravana is the nemesis of the hero, Ramayana, from the ancient Sanskrit epic.

  

And down below, on the left is the original sketch, the right is the inked and flat coloured version.

Stop Motion Test Animation 02

Another Stop-motion test animation.
This technique involves the use of light shining through uncovered areas. So basically what I did is that I layered a few layers of plasticine to cover the entire frame, and create holes to let the light pass through from the bottom to form the graphics.

Music: Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com/)

Behind the Scene
Share some of the pictures of our new Stop-Motion studio!


The workspace is well equipped with lights, camera and a fan which I usually used it on myself. 
The calculator lookalike thing is the device to capture the frame into the camera.



The monitor allows us to see what we've captured on the camera. Duh!



Close up on the layer of plasticine. It's purple by the way, which is kinda wrong. I should have use black to give it total darkness. It looks slimy, because the heat from the light source below melts the plasticine.


The light shines through the frame from the bottom.


And this is how it looks like from the top. Totally different from what you will get on screen.
