Intro assets Enhanced illustrations, Extended Scenes

These are some images Ive designed and enhanced for the intro animation where it starts off as a puddle turned to a river passed by the sheep.

This is the image of all frames I needed to animate the sheep. it was my first time to animate a character in after effects, it was quite complicated at first but as long as I understand the principals of after effects, it is quite easy. I have an option to animate in Flash but I had lesser knowledge about it than After Effects. If I had more time, I could learn more Flash and animate it there.

Bridge:

I have enhanced the bridge design Michael has made and added shades and patterns to it.

Water illustration:

This is my final water illustration design I made. It is one of many designs I've made.

This are some tree designs Ive made trying to match the illustration style.

Old design

Improved, extended and enhanced

Matching Michaels Old crown design from the story board I improved the illustration and made it more detail.

Extended Storyboard:

These are extended scenes for our animation to make it interesting. I have made this because I thought its too boring to watch the character to make it walking all the time without doing anything.

we have used some few chosen scenes from here and mostly to make it easy for me to animate and more time putting it together

Walk cycle line tests

Walk Cycles

Whilst Michael was busy making the storyboard, I went ahead and do the animating of the main character and tested it quite a few times. This took me quite a while to finish. at first, it took 4 frames for me to make the walk cycle but it didnt look smooth enough so I had to add more and develop it.

After animating the walk cycles, I continued animating other scenes like picking up the hat, mustache falls, camera man and more. I did all animations using photoshop because that is the software im much more comfortable with. By the end of animating, I have to convert it to PNG unmatted so I can layer this ontop of the background buildings.
