a weird pan of a little girl room. looking at it all at once it's apparent that there are only three walls and no windows! hopefully you don't notice it when it moves though. I had to look up tween girl magazine pages to come up with the wall posters.
I guess I should just call this the "nockFORCE production blog" shouldn't I? Two goodies today:
Don't forget to vote! Super Tomorrow is primary voting for Brooklyn and most of America which is the perfect time to roll out a political nockFORCE short:
This one was great fun, because I got to do some caricatures, something I've been trying to improve on. Huckabee was the most fun to draw hands down! Rebecca helped me get these to look good, but after looking at it for a while I hate the Giuliani one. Shouldve made his forehead bigger- he's got this whole Nosferatu thing going on and I neglected that!
Here's something nock-related for you for non-political people!
It's not completely finished but it's all there! I was going to attempt to draw these characters on paper and ink them, but doing these guys non-digital just doesn't look right. I designed them in flash, and I draw them in flash every week. My only option was to do a composite of a lot of different flash elements. The background for the lower half of the poster is a rehash of some of this stuff.
Those characters at the bottom? Two of them were in the short pilot! Maybe we'll see more of them soon...?
Getting closer! nockFORCE episode 1 is taking a while to finish, mostly because of the elaborate title sequence. Here's some backgrounds from the episode:
I've been using photos for background reference. I really didn't know how to draw a good building so I had to go out and take pictures of them. I ended up having to re-draw a lot of my backgrounds based on those photos. Buildings are interesting because there's a lot of weird structural things on them that you don't notice. Or at least... I didnt notice them because my method for drawing buildings was to just stack up a bunch of cubes and hope it works.
I never noticed little touches like those things above the windows and such. I should ask my brother the architect what they're called. It looks better anyway I think!
