Rotoscoping yet again (round four, is it?)

2 02 2010

Decided this morning that I didn’t like the pics I thought I’d use last night (on the bright side, I do like some of the others, and shsll use them in new ways).  Shot some footage (strangely enough, iMovie HD 6.0.3 only finds my built-in iSight lens after I plug in my camcorder, import from it, and unplug it) and started in with the brush linework in Flash (God how I love my tablet!).  I am almost finished; there remain the persnickety eyes and the (gloriously) largely sessile shirt and jeans, the latter of which just needs minor tweaking.  I think I shall fiddle with lighting through my coloring—leaning towards monochrome (grayscale?).  Here’s the working file.

In other news, I woke up at 6:30am and couldn’t fall back asleep, but, feeling quite decent at 7:00, I decided to get up and to work.  Later, thinking it must be 4pm or so, I discovered it was half past noon.  Wow.  Four hours is a long time when spent awake.  I love ModPodge and the tutorial for making a matchbox I found on Etsy (which site I also love; I’m emilyrosestudios, btw).  And, as always, C.J.Cherryh is awesome, as Cyteen: The Betrayal proves yet again.

Going to bed as soon as I post this! :)





Photoshoot

Shot some photos late last night (and I mean LATE, as in about 2am) as reference for an illustration for the project; will be rough-compositing and illustrating as vector later.
