Here's my first shot in ep 1 of #CastlevaniaNocturne ! It doesn't last long, but this shot had very detailed choreography so I went with more of a naruto-styled follow pan. To do this, I learned how to export a fisheye render of the BG in blender and traced it into a layout for OS

@luuuunadiane @whatdidjusay @llasagnaaa @nerdyasians I'm white American, but as someone who has seen all these movies and studies film design I think most of these examples are taken out of context. The stereotype exists, but for the most part these characters have plenty of reasons other than just being asian to dye their hair.

#CastlevaniaSeason2 #ZettaiAbsolute #Anivember Idk why I'm surprised about this, but making a whole fight scene in a single day is hard af. This is a super unrefined 40% of what I wanted, so it isn't much of a sword fight, but I plan on finishing it eventually.

I did not expect to get passed a BG assignment, but when I did I was committed to having fun with it. I get a lot of inspiration from yoh yoshinari and fromsoft's set design, so I tried to manifest that kind of surrealism. Super fun to experiment with.

The Machine Room This set was my favorite for the season and was a big team effort. @DFinitial did a badass initial concept of the machine. I did the room and fleshed out the machine more in 3D. @markadamscraft added a bunch of fun detail work and did the final animated model.

@whatdidjusay @MasqueradeKOR @HeroOfTheSpire @llasagnaaa @luuuunadiane @nerdyasians That's actually why I think that red haired girl is taken out of context, too. The actual wolverine movie took place almost entirely in Japan and she was the only character with dyed hair. She wasn't even one of the main ones, either.

@DzikeatersH @z_merquise They do have clear differences if you research them enough. Murase uses more long, connected strokes with even line weight to imply stricter form, whereas Naoyuki Onda stylizes his line weight and shapes a bit more. Murase's style emphasizes form, Onda's style emphasizes anatomy.

@DanKantori Thx! Figuring out the BG myself wasn't fully necessary because we do use 3d bg a lot, but I like to know exactly how a shot will look like when it's finished so as not to add workload to other departments. @joshaguilar98 gets around this by doing a rough 3d bg pass in toon boom.

Sometimes a whiteboard can be too big and your sense of proportion will be useless cause you can only look at one 5th at a time while drawing.
