final piece

still more

more

Below are images that show detailed paintings of the sketches we discussed in previous posts and we’re going to briefly see how I came about the final piece in my subsequent posts.

Creating the four panels is simple. Create a new layer and select the rectangular marquee tool, draw a rectangular box and fill it with a light grey colour, then duplicate the filled layer by hitting control j and move it down below with the move tool. Merge the two layers and duplicate and move to the right this time around then merge again.
I started sketching with the brush tool right away after preparing my thumbnails. Each thumbnail represents a sketch drawn from different camera angle.

I tried to also sketch out where some of my characters will be positioned and animated when I start with the second stage of the project as seen in image 3 and 4 below. Notice the different positioning of the characters in the images.

Image1 below shows a sketch from part of the scene planning. Image2 shows the entire environment that I have planned to use with different camera angles. Shot 1 is more like a wide view showing most parts of the market, shot 2 shows a close-up of the shop where most of the action will take place, shot 3 also shows another close-up of different camera angle of the animation and also shot 4. I can decide to add more camera shots into my scene depending on the kind of project, the time frame and how appealing you want your animation to be. This process is part of the scene planning where you establish how you want your scene and environment to be presented and what you want it to look like. The four shots that make the canvas is called the thumbnails.
NB: note that a canvas is the work area in Photoshop

f. Animation: moving the characters in cutout or drawing them frame by frame to get the movement you want as regards the scenes of the story.
g. Composting: bringing the animated characters and the environment together to form a final piece. This also includes adding some effects if need be and then rendering out a final piece.

Next I will try to show the process I followed in my workflow for the next animation. We’ll focus on number b, c, d and e for the duration of the workflow and move into the other stages as we forge ahead.
NB: Photoshop is the tool used for the above mentioned stages.

c. Character design: this is the stage of designing your characters and how you want them to behave and react to certain situations in your animation.
d. Storyboard: this is the act of sketching out the story together with the scenes. In this stage, you decide on how you want the story in the scenes to progress. Storyboard is just like a comic book but without the color and beauty because they are just sketches.
e. Scene layout: it simply means how you layout your scene from the camera angle to the positioning of the characters in the different camera angles depending on the mood of the scene

2D ANIMATION (THE PRODUCTION PROCESS)
There are several stages involved in a cartoon animation pipeline production be it 2d or 3d, and these stages for 2d production include

a. The story: this is the point at which the cg artist gets his/her story that they want to turn into an animation. The story must be easy to understand, educative, and with a good sense of humor. The story might be in any form depending on the message the artist wants to pass across to the audience.
b. Visual development: this is the point of designing the environment, backgrounds, and other props needed to give the animation realism and a sense of movement. At this stage, the artist chooses the type of environment, atmosphere and look of the animation. E.g I might decide to make a cartoon with characters resembling sticks or papers so in this case my environment should be designed in such a way as to fit perfectly with the story and characters.

They don't have a problem agreeing they were Pharoahs, but they have a problem believing they was Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon. They don't have a problem even believing there was a Pontius Pilate, but they can't believe there was Jesus Christ.
I asked one a question once, he could not answer me. If they say the Bible is a myth and everything inside is fables, they should answer the following.
Is they any place called Egypt today Yes or No?
The Bible talked about often.

What about Syria, what about Lebanon? Palestine? Persia the today's Iran? Mesopotamia, today's Kuwait. BABYLON today's Iraq
Is there any where called Mesedonia? Is there anywhere call Ethiopia? Is there a river Nile in Egypt today? Is there a red sea? Is there a Tigress River anywhere in the world? is there River Euphrates? Was there ever a historian king of Persia by the name of Cyrus? I have seen an epic film "The Rise of the 300" where he was mentioned. The Bible talked about him too.
Was there a Roman Empire. Did Rome ever occupy Judea?
Was there a time a Roman Emperor by name Augustus Ceasar demanded that his empire be numbered? That was when Christ was born.
When was Jerusalem founded? Is the today's. Jerusalem the same with the Jerusalem which Solomon rule in?
If these nations and people existed then shame on satan who is using his agents to fight a battle they know they have lost. when they lie down on their beds they know the truth.
There's none of them here who doesn't know the truth, they are just victims held tight by Satan's robes. Stan can never tell the truth will I expect his agents to do that? Of course not.

for someone to see the evidence of the authencity of the bible as glaring as this and still stick to their guns means that they only need a divine intervention. Nothing again can give sight to their blindness apart from that

this op is a clown

Ranchhoddas:
You are proof that your grandparents existed.What proof of solomon do you have.Na you no get sense.

plaetton:


At last, the moment of truth arrives.

So, you have been arguing your faith all along, pretending to be presenting facts. Right ?.

Well well, my dumb little friend, Faith and Facts are two different things that exist in two different universes.

You need to learn that, and then desist from making a public fool of yourself.

Okay ?

oga give us evidence that ur great great grandfather existed and stop throwing spit here
