Concept Smoke and Sparks

I have been playing with the three animations all day expect when I had to go to work ....... back to the animations, remember that all three animations are still in there concept stages. I am still narrowing them down and figuring out how to get them to animate. I have uploaded all the files into my folder in box.net along with the static and animated thingy (for those who are animated and I need sleep)

First - The Sparks:
So far, I have can up with three basic designs for them. The first two was for me trying to see how the hell am I going to draw and animate a spark in flash. Then I got to thinking of a sparkler and that is where the third one came to be.

Second - Smoke:
I wanted to (and still) work on the design for the smoke. As of now they are blobs of various grays. This one I am still trying to see how it would animated. But before I start any type of animation for the smoke, I would really like your comment and pick for the smoke. For the smoke (yes, I know that a few of them look like tornadoes) I was trying to get a billowing cloud effect and Cloud #4 looks promising.

Third - Leaves:
I have look up same prehistoric leaves, but I would have to agree with Malina. The image would be small for to see any real detail. But never the less, I will continue to work on the leaves.


Off Topic -
I know that we talk about making t-shirt for out game, I would like to know if we are..because at my work the t-shirt transfer paper is on sale (I check and it is machine washable) until Saturday night. If we do decide to do them, is the whole team going to pinch in for the cost of the transfer and the t-shirts?

Guesstimate of Cost (Not on sale) -
~ $8-ish for a 3 sheet t-shirt transfer paper
~ $4 or $5 (cannot remember) for any size t-shirt

For those who wish to see, if you guy want to come to my store around 6pm-ish on Saturday. I will be more than happy to show you guys what is in stock and stuff or if you wish to bug me. I work at the Joann's at Rochester and Hamlin, in Rochester.


Anyways ...... Comments?

  2. I like the animations. 3 is my pick because the other two might look like oil coming out in game. I will have some sketches of the ship crashed for place holder up in a bit but then I really need to sleep.

  3. The leaves look great. I like how you made a fast and a slower one. With them randomly spawning and falling it will look slicker than snot on a door knob.

    As for the sparks, they deffinitly need some work. Your leaves float down and rotate while falling where your sparks only have like 2-3 frames of animation. Consistency is key!

    Keep up the good work!

  4. They look kinda sketchy Krissy, I like the ideas for both but you need to have more frames. I like both 2 and 3 and wonder if there is a way you can put them together?

  5. As for the T-shirt...I'll pitch in to get one or two but I don't know if I can afford one for myself. Maybe just one or two to HAng up and show?
