Playblast Doodle Time

Who would have thought working in 3D would give so much time for drawing :3
For those who don't know, a 'Playblast' is the video you render out to see how your animation is looking at the proper frame rate (equivalent of a Line/Pencil Test). In theory, a good animator won't need to playblast often, as they would know exactly what their animation should be doing.
....
These are just a few of my doodles made while waiting for my Playbalsts to render u.u

Je n'attendais pas dessiner beaucoup en faisant le 3D :3
Un 'Playblast' est le video qu'on rend pour voire notre animation. En théorie, un bon animateur n'as pas besoin de rendre beaucoup des vidéos parce que il sait exactement comment gérer son plan.

Voici juste quelques esquisses pendant mes temps d'attente u.u

Ah I know this all too well. Unfortunately My current PC is quite fast at actual 'real' time playback. So getting the doodle time is getting scarce. Damn those fast new Pc's.
Back to the comment I intended to write. These are great drawings. For doodles they are very well accomplished. It just shows how awesome your ability is. peace brudda

I love seeing an artist's sketchbook. I especially dig the 'hero'-esque sketches

Geoff King said...

thumbs up for illusionist sketches :)

Waiting for something to render and use that time to sketch is nice! :D I really like the expression on your characters faces - even in what seem quick sketches you can delivery a variety of emotions in their faces/looks. The corporal language is also pretty nice.
Thank you for sharing this sketches. They are really nice! :D

Hi there!
These are great! Hope your PC will be slow for long so that you can continue doodle around.
Hope your 3D work is stimulating too though and full of satisfactions.
Thank your for your messages and cheering me up many times. I'm back home and healing, trying to speed the healing too, but it doesn't work much. Guess it takes what it takes to glue back a bone.
I wish you lots of inspirations to work in harmony the coming months! : )
A hug!

Ben Ho said...

I kinda wish 2d art has rendering time sometimes :P Looking great LR! Good to see you keeping the sketchbook handy at all times. Parr has not taught no fool :P

@Kristian
:D Cheers man.
I think it's less to do with the PCs and more all the models and sets being super heavy... even when you de-load stuff you don't use, there's no way to see it play back in real time without playblasting :S

@Mauricio
Thank you kindly!
In fact - I wouldn't really call it a 'Sketchbook'... it's more a notepad I have to jot down all the 'to do's' for my shots... I wouldn't dare draw this type of stuff in my sketchbooks! :'D

@Geoff
:D Not sure how on model they are! But this was the best I could remember them :P Ah, the memories!

@Fados Do Lar
Thank you :)
...Though I think they all look grumpy personally! The only one who's smiling is Titeuf XD

Ah hah t’inquiète pas! Merci infiniment pour les voeux n.n

@Helen
Merci beaucoup!! n.n
J’espère que ça vas aller...:S
Si tu as besoin d'un coup de main, n’hésite pas de m’appeler! Sérieux!

@Wes
XDD Obsession!? I only drew her twice here.... oh wait... you're refering to all the newspaper images I drew her over in a year and stuck on the wall? :3
That blog still exists - but I don't think the world is ready :P

@Ben
Heheh, it does give an excuse to have a quick check of the mail or doodle alright :P
(As I said earlier though - notepads and sketchbooks are two waaay different things for me :'D). I haven't actually drawn in my sketchbook for two weeks...
soon though! Fados inspired me :P
