trick or treat

Omfg! I certainly didn't expect to have a bunch of altered Shrek faces in my askbox today, lol I'm both amused and horrified - which I suppose is very appropriate for Halloween! Here is the single most cursed photo I've ever taken! It's a closeup of part of the 'decorated' saguaro cactus I took pictures of many years ago when I still lived in Arizona (Bi got a full shot of it). (You can't see the Barbie in the full shot because it's on the hubcap all the way on the left, and turned away from the camera.)

#don't ask me what this Barbie did to get sacrificed to the hubcap gods #but it must have been something truly heinous to deserve such treatment #istg Yuki you find the strangest images so I had to give you my weirdest photograph lol #it just occurred to me I might be the only person in the world who has a picture of a Barbie strapped to a hubcap that's hung on a saguaro #but now y'all can have it too if you'd like!#barbie #saguaro cactus #fun with halloween #my photo #ask game #btw I forgot to add image descriptions to these - so now I'm going back to do that

I forgot to share it here, but here's a storyboard piece I worked on a couple months back. Made it so I could finally add some more recent work to my portfolio. I actually started this 2 years ago back in 2021, but then got busy and never finished - I finally had some time to finish it so here it is!

Story & Characters are by me, all the backgrounds were done in Blender 3D (which was such a challenge to learn btw LOL)

Here are some other scraps underneath:

When I started this board, I already knew what characters I wanted to use - these are some ocs I've had for a while now - a bounty hunter and an outlaw (very much meant to be taking place in a sci-fi setting).

In retrospect, I don't think I needed to go and draw these very intricate character sheets lol. I did them mainly to apply to some character design positions a year back (that never happened).

Also, if you notice, I changed the bounty hunter's black glove to be on their right hand instead of their left in the actual board - when I was drawing the boards I realized that it would create some better compositions if the glove was on the other side lol. My foresight is still underdeveloped at times.

When it came to actual storyboarding - I usually started by writing down the script and listing the shots through text

Here's an example:

So you can see every shot is described by the type (a closeup, a medium shot, wide shot, etc) as well as a short description of what's happening, whether it's dialogue, an action or both.

This helps me visualize the scene without having to actually draw anything. This was a trick a professor taught me so that I didn't waste my arm (and time).

If you want to see more of the document here it is : X I had also included some references in there.

Also some sketches/thumbnails, I was trying to figure out the look of the environment.

"do more research on this part," the 2nd image says, whatever Past Me. These were just thoughts, in the end, I did go and gather a lot of industrial plant references online to properly figure out the environment. As I mentioned, I went and modeled some mockups on Blender 3D. On a side note, I don't think the mockups look that good, but they are just meant to be a stand-in for the environment - what's important is that they are clear and you can understand what's going on (Was I successful in that sense?)

Anyways, thanks for reading. I'm currently thinking of the next storyboard portfolio for me to do.

Here's a little bonus sketch that I drew 2 years ago that still makes me laugh:
