Elytrian Library

For this project, I want to create a background illustration including the Robin from the character design section.

The background and its accompanying character are based off a story in which I am in the process of making where it is based off medieval, mythology and magic.

Robin is an angelic librarian who enjoys to learn and study everything he can about the world, this usually ends up with him passing out on his desk from late nights where he would study without end

The several passes I did to finalize the design including the perspective grids, the lineart, and then the addition of other smaller details such as the books and other desk items

Sketches 

For the next step of the process, I choose some thumbnails that I liked and made them into more detailed sketches taking into consideration perspective and detail

Painting from reference thumbnails

Using references from the internet, I practised Plein air painting in the form of thumbnails to improve my colour theory and painting skills

1st Year Assignment - Layout Study

Breakdown

We had to pick an animated TV series and draw a background inspired by that TV series. I inspired my background off of Mo Dao Zu Shi (The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation).

We initially had to draw our layout design on paper then we transferred it digitally

About Me!

Oh! Hello there! Stumbled upon my page I see? Let me introduce myself!

I am a 3rd year student studying digital animation in Clonmel. As a person who has drawn their entire life, I've always wanted to see my drawings come to life through animation. And thus, my journey as a 2d animator began!

My inspirations for my works mostly come from my own characters that I like to write about but I am also inspired by many games and animated tv shows/ films and anime. Examples would include Arcane, Elden Ring, Nine Sols, and so on! 


My main software of use would be Adobe Photoshop and Toon Boom Harmony and I specialize in 2D animation, most notably 2D rough animation and keyframing.
