I learned how to loop the background by tutorials and other readings. Im still trying to figure out how to make the background loop slower and will later edit the gradient. Also I want to fix how my characters figure is pixelated when zoomed in.

This was super challenging but fun. Afterwards I will add shading and tints to make his figure pop for the background. I chose the sweet and candy colors for Wang since he is a lover type of guy who is also stylish. I added the chain and bounce of his limbs more.

 

This was a fun assignment because I do coding for digital storytelling and directing gives the creator so much control and freedom with their work, than just illustration. Its a written animation of words within itself, like a written only comic. I want to simply the dialogue more, where the viewer understands the plot: Wang likes a girl but she doesn’t like him. This is why I used the flower as a tool for Wang to use to express his love for his crush. The landscape of Times Square was enjoyable, as Im more interested in improving my landscape art since reading more manhuas I’ve been inspired by their realistic paintings/ 3D digital landscapes. Its so important for animators to understand still life and capture this in illustration too.

After Effects is one of my favorite programs and decided why not create a story or PSA for the assignment. Here is Jackson Wang and Jimin, kpop singers who are here to bring awareness of climate change. I used the opacity, position, rotation, type, transition of my type and made the type 3D in a way too with a glow. I wanted to make the poster stylish with roses and flowers to give that nature approach. Protect our climate!
