Hey guys, I have been looking around at different leaves, for the time period that it is in, many of the leaves seem to have a serrated edge to them. Also I have been playing around with some leaf sketches in Flash and I was wondering which one you guys like? To make it easier, I number the leafs. Which ever one gets pick, I'll make some more sketches of the winning leaf.

My Goals for the coming up week -
6/27 - Clean up place holder art for the leaves, smoke and sparks by 3pm
6/30 - Demo Reel and Animations for the leaves, smoke and sparks by Midnight
I think that 1 2 and 4 look modern to me. Try one of the other three for animations, they look more prehistoric.
ReplyDeleteI like 2, 6, and 1 best. While there is some similarities to modern plants they will be big, but not big enough to see all the details.
ReplyDeleteI like 2, 4 and 5 I think they will look best with the trees types we have been going for. To be honest they will be tiny and you wont see much detail to the leaves in the animation.
ReplyDeleteI think I like 6 the most, just because it's such a strange shape. 2 and three are pretty fun too. You could always draw up and finish more than one! Variation is fun.
ReplyDeleteRemember to find true to life leaves not just leaves you think look cool. Even though they are being drawn cartoony they still have to have some resemblance to leaves that existed 65 million years ago.
ReplyDeleteA quick google search shows plenty of real prehistoric leaves.
