Monday: Any outstanding work from last week will be sorted out... It has to be sorted out... If it isn't then I'm going to severely struggle in the coming weeks.
Tuesday: After convincing several Primary School children that I'm Batman and that their Head Teacher is the Joker in disguise and that the only way to redeem themselves in the eyes of Santa Claus is to brutally attack him... I'll be getting on with animation-based work, line tests? Perhaps finishing off other bits and bobs, whatever the case it has to be productive.
Wednesday: Besides receiving my fair share of shifty looks on the morning Metro, I'll proceed to get on with whatever I need to get on with, it's that simple.
Thursdays: Again, whatever has to be done will be done... This is pretty much like Wednesday.
Friday: Finish off character animation, it's dire that it is sorted by the end of this week.
Now I will talk about Vector artists, Gaston Caba, Aron Martin and Fons Schiedon... Urgh... The thing is, Vector isn't a genre I like, Fons Schiedon is one of the few vector-based artists I like, I've always viewed it as a simple, easy way to make money, it's often used to depict simple character's but my god is it annoying to see the industry become slowly devoured by this sort of work.
Anyways, Caba... The piece I've chosen appealed to me as it seems to depict a mental institution. The central character is the facility hooker and Captain Meathead and his fellow friends are ready for some outdoor action... The colour scheme is made up of about 5 or so colours and the designs are flat and simple, the line work is crisp but the actual artwork itself is lacking and is a style I don't find at all appealing.
Aaron Martin... Draws allot of angry Panda's. The style surprisingly isn't incredibly vector-esc, more graphic novel-like, I can appreciate the work that's went into making a piece because it's apparent, the character IS simple and could easily take on a simpler form, however, Aaron has went the extra mile to give the piece more "Oomph!"
Fons' work, at first, never appealed to me, I found it lacking, that said I have a broader outlook and have taken a greater interest in his work and animation. The character design that Fons offers speak for themselves and in this image, remind me of Ed, Edd n Eddy, each character has a self explanatory design which I feel is a necessity within character design, it's not so much about stereotypes as it primary and secondary elements of a character... If that makes sense.
