Perhaps if we had listened closely, we’d have heard the crows, seen the dogs, or otherwise noticed the restless strangeness in the air
We may have heard the sound rising from the sealed caverns in the depths; the muffled pounding as the flood began to rise.
And the flood changed everything.</span></div>

I've been working on a short film for some time now. I approached local filmmaker Markus Helmersson to collaborate. He wrote it, we developed it into this project. Markus is the writer/director, and I was the storyboarder/animator.<br />
<br />
I mainly wanted a project so I could learn how to model and rig a human character in Maya, and this was that!<br />
It is nice to have a project that I animated by myself, now its done!<br /><br />

Here are my initial sketches while I was deciding on the time periods I wanted to include.<br />
The next step, after thumbnailing (which you can just about make out in the top right, was to make an animatic just to be sure that it could actually fit into 15 seconds. Here's the animatic...<br />

After a few evenings and weekends of animating, I composed the music on the 3DS software, <i>Rytmik Ultimate. </i><br />
There was some great entries in the competition, so I didnt rank anywhere sadlyRicky Earlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01417599869103635969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651334925025460960.post-45155241430236321432017-03-22T02:32:00.002-07:002017-03-22T02:32:20.447-07:00A few more birthday card illustrations for the wife and sister<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the rough animation for the end-act pose. This is a new feature for the game, An end of act pose originally appeared in Sonic 3, but we've put one in Sonic 2, and here's my animation for it. I wanted to have the Super Peel Out in the game somewhere, and this was the perfect spot as it woudn't interfere with any gameplay.<br />

This rough version is slightly longer and has more frames that the one that will appear in-game.</div>

This is the new clinging animation, for Wing Fortress and maybe another zone I've forgotten about.<br />
Originally it was only 2 frames.<br />
<br />
Slip sliding in oil! Original was 2 frames.<br />

THE FALLING ROTATION:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was one of my favorite pieces so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The original is just 3 frames, flipped to make 6<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original idea was to just up the ante on these, and add more frames. But I made a grave and rookie error...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not extend the legs out when he was side-on. Obviously they would appear longest on the side-on frames as they were no longer being fore-shortened. I wasnt really satisfied with the general rotation either. I didn't think those original 3 frames really lent themselves well to further tweening so I opted to start again from scratch, only really using the front view (even then I changed it up some)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To ensure correct positions of things when rotating, I drew it from a top view and projected it downwards.</div>

And since this one has been covered on the <a href="http://sonic2hd.com/changelogs/sonic2/">Sonic 2 Changelog,</a> I can show you how it looks coloured, too. One of the head honchos on the team, Vince, is responsible for the beautiful colouring.</div>

I only really had 1 evening to complete my image so there wasn't as much time for exploratory design as I would normally allow, but here's some of my initial Tim character designs.. There was no time for Storm, I settled on her design immediately! </div>

Here's a blocking phase, trying to get work out were the main shadows in the image would fall .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I highly recommend <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Storm-Tim-Minchin/dp/1409156257/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=">the book.</a> It's one thing listening to Tim recite it or watching the animation, it's another to have it in this format where you can really linger on each word and adsorb DCs wonderful illustrations. The hardback has some great behind the scenes content at the end too (although good luck getting one, there was only 2000 printed.)</div>

Here's a short chiptune I composed as a theme tune for a podcast I was going to make once.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Me and <a href="http://chainsawsandswearwords.blogspot.se/">Mark</a> actually recorded the first episode, it was kind of a retrospective talk of arcades in our youth talking about arcade games and the genre in general.<br />
I started editing it, but I spent about 8 hours editing and was still not halfway through. I decided there and then that I was not going to be doing that every time we recorded a new episode so I gave it up immediately!<br />
<br />
I also made a soundscape for the podcast, which yo can hear here;<br />
<br />
<br />

The idea of this was to try and really make the listener feel like they were wandering around an arcade, circa early 90's, hopefully triggering long dormant nostalgia :DRicky Earlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01417599869103635969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651334925025460960.post-19275859182356534102014-01-05T03:13:00.001-08:002014-01-05T03:16:31.207-08:00Winter 2013 Cartoon Network idents<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/82078436?byline=0&color=f05023" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/82078436">Cartoon Network Winter Idents 2013</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/karrotanimation">Karrot Animation</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
Here's the new set of idents we made at <a href="http://www.karrotanimation.com/">Karrot Animation</a> for Cartoon Network!<br />
<a name='more'></a>I directed the Ben 10 one, (which also meant storyboarding/posing it, and I did all the BGs/comping too), comped a bit on the Regular show one, and did the concept/boards for the Gumball one. As always, these things are a blast to work on, and we were given a gracious amount of freedom from CN.<br />
Being tasked with Ben 10, it seemed only natural to give him a snowboard! It was my way of having snowboarding in my life this winter as so far, we've had NO snow here! AND I NEED SNOWBOARDING NOW! Of course, I can't transform into massively helpful aliens like Ben can. But then, I get to keep my snowboard. If you look carefully, you'll notice he throws his away.

I wanted to spend some time on some projects over this winter holiday but my brain wouldn't let me concentrate on the projects I <i>wanted</i> to do. That's always the way, isn't it? You can concentrate on <i>anything </i>except what you need to. So I found myself returning once again to my duties as the illustrator for the website, <a href="http://www.soniczone0.com/">Zone Zero</a>. Im working through all the levels in the 16BIT Sonic games. I'm currently upto Sonic 2, level 3; Aquatic Ruin Zone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Aquatic Ruin was the level that introduced the badnik Grounder, see here in official concept art.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.soniczone0.com/games/sonic2/downloads/s2-arz-badniks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.soniczone0.com/games/sonic2/downloads/s2-arz-badniks.jpg" height="224" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to include grounder as the main element of the piece from the start, because it was the basis for one of the characters in the 90's animated series <i>The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog </i>which for some reason I watched religiously as a kid. This is Grounder as he appeared in the show;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101001054231/sonic/images/a/a6/Grounder_glad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101001054231/sonic/images/a/a6/Grounder_glad.jpg" height="257" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I dont think it's a very good series at all, but I stand by my opinion that it's portrayal of Sonic was, and still is, the best out of all of the animated series over the years. I think they nailed his cockyness, impatience and energy. And they used his speed A LOT (something other series seemed to put in the background). So it still holds a particular place in my heart for that reason.<br />
<br />
After a few thumbnails and different ideas, I settled on this one which is what you see cleaned up at the top. I hope you like it!<br />

Some of my work for it....I wasn't able to post about this for ages, and then I totally forgot about it. And now Blitz games has shut down, I think the time is right.<br />
<br />
This was the second time I worked with<a href="https://twitter.com/dcturner"> DC Turner</a> and<a href="http://www.kershoot.com/"> Kershoot</a> (after <a href="http://youtu.be/HhGuXCuDb1U">Storm</a>, and it wouldn't be the last time either...). Myself and DC did all the 2D cut-scenes in the game. Blitz wanted them in a similar stylization to the Storm vid. I remember I found it quite nerve racking sending off some of my storyboards to Dreamworks and waiting for the feedback...They approved them with only tiny changes which was very relieving/satisfying! Getting the OK from Dreamworks? Feels good!<br />
<br />
SO here's some of the stuff i worked on. I only have the files for the first cut-scene, (which is a shame cos I was rather fond of some of the later art). These were designed to be animated, and some of them are just the backgrounds without any characters on them, but you get the idea anyway.<br />

Cool old cars are <i>extremely</i> common here in Karlstad. Indeed, when the sun comes out all you have to do is look out the window to see one. It made getting reference extremely easy. This photo is one I took from a weekly gathering of cars, which i used for reference for things like the grill and a few other bits and bobs. You can clearly see here that I didn't match the shape exactly, I wanted a more stylized, angular look, perhaps a bit meaner?</div>

I've been super busy recently which for some reason meant I started loads of projects without finishing the previous one. This means I have a folder of unfinished art, all begging for attention. Slowly, but surely, the folder will be emptied! This one had been sat in that folder collecting digital dust for some time, I thought it was about time it saw some attention.<br />

Some time ago I bought a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Gizmos-4142-Kidz-Labs/dp/B000H5V07U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369507289&sr=8-1&keywords=praxinoscope" target="_blank">Praxinascope</a> and had been meaning to make my own animations for it. One of the reasons I have less time these days is because of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GttmdFCOB4I" target="_blank">this asshole</a> so I thought it pertinent for her to be my subject.<br />
Where's the challenge you ask? Why bother repeating an exercise from the first year of uni? Well, I couldn't find any reference on dog runs with 10 frames (the amount in the praxinoscope), and I really didnt want to adapt a reference of a 6 frame run to a 10 and just add more tweens, because there's no logical place to add them, without favouring an abitary pose. An dog run has no real keys, they're ALL keys cos everything happens at different times. So, I made my own 10 frame cycle. I hope you like it, I'll add footage of it in the praxinoscope as soon as I can get a printout of it to stick in there. Hi-res but slower version here<br />

Karrot Animations very own show, Sarah and Duck, is now being shown on CBeebies in the UK. You can see it on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qynbc/Sarah_and_Duck_Cake_Bake/" target="_blank">BBCiplayer</a>. I animated on the episode, Cake Bake.<br />

Scooby Forever.<br />
<br />
Here's some work for Cartoon Network that we did at Karrot Animation. They wanted Scooby Doo set into Scandinavian landmarks. I did some of the concept/design work as well as some modelling/texturing/animation.<br />

Puss In Boots The Game.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you work on something, and it takes such a long time for those things to become available anywhere!
Anyway, back in spring 2011 I worked with my friend <a href="http://www.dcturner.net/">DC Tuner</a> on the cut scenes for a video game. The game was based on Dreamworks' Puss In Boots. The game was being developed at Blitz Games, and they asked for graphic 2D cutscenes. I did concepts, backgrounds, storyboards and animation. We produced about 10 cut scenes I think.<br />
It hasn't been officially uploaded anywhere, but there's always someone putting things on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4cF6phc_gEc#t=117s" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">youtube</span>,</a> isn't there?<br />

We at Karrot have been hard at work on something. I animated and storyboarded for it, but I can't say what it is yet!

If I am good any anything drawing related, its remembering details, and people around me were always easy to impress when drawing stuff like this cos all the bits of the Dalek are there. However, those same people probably didnt look to the human on the left. CHECK OUT THAT ARM :)</div>

GENERIC PORTRAIT</div>

Age 10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was for the profiles you had to make in my school; a book of lots of your work to impress the secondary schools with. Lots of kids in my class were doing these kinda bug eyed portraits for the cover, which, even as a kid, I <i>hated. </i>It always seemed so easy and generic (even though I didnt know that word). But that was primary school. I was a sheep. I followed suit, and hated the result/self. </div>

ARROGANCE</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Age: 10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is an excerpt from one page of the profile, where you had to write about your ambitions and such. Reading it now, its hoffifyingly arrogant of me to assume that I knew "almost everything about cartoons". After years of study and being an animator, I would still say I know very little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I go on to say "I have made seven sheets of paper with comic strips all over them". Seven. <i>SEVEN. </i>EASY TIGER, SLOW DOWN. I've no idea why I wrote that. I have stacks of evidence around me now, proving I did much much more. Idiot kid. Also, pretty sure I stole this "gag" from a Garfield strip. </div>

Unfortunatley, 95% of the "artwork" from this age onwards that I still have from my school days is of Sonic The Hedgehog. Never before has the release year of a videogame been so clearly evidenced by a child's artwork. It was all going pretty diverse up to this point. </div>

Here's a sting we animated for the British Animation Awards. After we did that, it won best sting! I animated sheep, but all the good stuff was done by <a href="http://biplaneblues.blogspot.co.uk/">Ruf</a>.<br />

In this new (non-existant) animated series of the literary classic, Jekyll is a genius schoolboy who can temporarily alter his appearance making it devolve into a neanderthallic state using only the school science lab. He was inspired by the London riots of 2011 and goes on rampages.Ricky Earlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01417599869103635969noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651334925025460960.post-86664096052535933742012-03-21T16:16:00.000-07:002012-03-22T13:40:43.211-07:00Hand, nose, ears, and eyes studies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
