Animated Comic project

[Midlet]

Hey guys, I'm working on a sort or animated interactive comic. I'm doing a youtube video series documenting some of the process. Here are some links to the video's as well as some development art. Enjoy :)










Thanks for looking, more stuff to come.

I was thinking of doing something like this in the future, considering my comic work is mixed between anime and David Firth style cartooning. BUT since this isn't the future, I have no animation experience and you're ahead of me, I'll just have to support you instead.

Is it going to be a "click to choose path" style youtube "game"? I haven't seen any of those in ages, but it tends to stick in your head haha.

I got ahead of myself, shoulda watched the video first. Seems interesting and like a lot of work porting it to mobile and tablet/pad. Considering you're doing it mostly on your own.

*sorry for the double post, I don't see an edit function.

Thanks JakDark :) It is indeed a lot of work, but I should say I'm "mostly" doing it by myself, around the beginning of the project I was working with a couple of engineers and a decent amount of the engineering for the iOS app was completed back then. I'm still figuring out exactly the road I want to take for that bit of it, but right now just concentrating on the art. Thanks for checking it out :) Some more stuff:

Hey guys, just finished up a video on the environment design for my project



In the video I do a demo of drawing some environment concepts as well as share some of the work that's currently in progress. Check it out and let me know what you guys think :) I'm still trying to figure out what makes for a cool and entertaining video.

sorry, don't know why that posted twice, looked at the FAQ for deleting a post, but I can't find the edit button, so yea, sorry about the double post.

[JakDark]

You're certainly talented, no doubt about that. And I'm really digging the city. My internet isn't digging the fog and rain so I'll have to watch the video in a while.

[Midlet]

Thanks JakDark :)
I did another video about my project, in this one I'm demonstrating how I'm approaching the storyboards. Check it out and let me know what you guys think :)


Also in the last vid I was going over some environment design, and here's a few pics from that one I haven't posted here yet.



Thanks for looking :)

Cool work mate ,cool work mate.What is the title of the project ?

[Midlet]

Thanks Scurlogg_Hawkk, the name of the project is "Past Away". It's basically a futuristic, zombie apocalypse story :) Thanks for checking it out.

[Scurlogg_Hawkk]

Any hints of the main characters or there names and there weapons of choice ?For how long you work on it .What programs you use for it ?

[Midlet]

Yup a couple of the main characters are in the posts I have above, most of the characters won't really have weapons of choice, but the main character Jason is at least going to start out with a baseball bat, because he used to play baseball and it has sentimental value to him. I've been working primarily on this project for about 8 months now and I use photoshop for all the art and after effects for the animation. All the interactivity is done in flash, so pretty much all adobe stuff.

I actually made another one of my little video's where I'm showing/demoing some stuff from the project. In this one I'm doing some of the concepts for zombies. Check it out and let me know what you guys think :)

[Scurlogg_Hawkk]

Looks cool mate .Thanks for sharing

[Midlet]

Hey guys, got a few new pics to show :)



If any of you guys got the chance to check out the storyboarding video I did above, this is the finished background art for the first shot in that.



Both of the environment shots here are pans, I did a little video of the second one with the elements animated.


Thanks for looking :)
