I am terribly out of it since coming back from vacation.... I can barely remember how to organize my pictures....
I hadn't had the energy to draw at all. It's awful. Plus, just coming back from vacation, I had a lot of time to stew over what I'm not very good at. A lack of confidence seems to have driven back my design sense into the STONE AGE. . . . I finally drew a little today, but I couldn't hit anything on the nose, like "Ah! That's how I want it to look!"
But I did TRY. . . . A VAMPIRE!! Oh btw, it's a creepy old vampire. And little Former, a much younger vampire, in cute bat form!!
I was rethinking an old character I had.... an old, very traditional vampire named Mr. Wilson who is like a mentor to little Former, who is so awkward he can't get close enough to a human to suck their blood. Wilson's new incarnation is an old classy charmer . . . however, on this first pass I'm getting a bit too much gayness. 8|
Seriously, when I was drawing this I kept thinking, "wskhfhlks is that a lady I'm drawing?" It's strange because I have SUCH A CLEAR MENTAL IMAGE of what he needs to look like.
What's frustrating about this particular art block is that I can't seem to put that essential liveliness into drawings. That immediately recognizable spirit of really great gestures and expressions is what attracts me to animation art in the first place.
It's weird when you know where you want to go but can't GET THERE DX
Hah! Geriatric Vampires FTW! It jas such a paintery feel to it! You know, your old vampire reminds me of one I saw in this old movie called "monster club" [link]
