Elephant action
How awesome would this have been last year when we were doing our group film about an elephant. Hahah oh well it's still very cool the school provided us with an elephant to draw AND a lion of about 9 months old too.
This is me being very excited but scared also haha. It's a big animal, but he moved so gently with so many people around. Very beautiful animal. Anna touched his tongue haha.

Working Story reel
I'm handing this in tomorrow as my working progress.
The sound effects are stand in ones for now as I haven't recorded actual people yet, some sounds are missing still and some just need to be changed because they're really lame right now. But yeah.....I hope you enjoy it despite.
It's still my working reel however so things might change again still after this version.

Champion Dreams 2??? For the DS
Oh.....My....God......
Aaron has just informed me about a new Nintendo DS game where you have to raise a horse and ride it just like the Gem of my life Champion Dreams!!!! AND...........I just checked out the link Aaron gave me:
http://gonintendo.com/?p=7099#comments
........and it would appear that Ubisoft has taken one of the characters of Champion Dreams (the American girl Ginger) and made her the main character of this game. Something I found brilliant about the screenshots on this link, were they probably have the same person translating this game into English as Champion Dreams, cause they're still making hilarious mistakes:
hahahah.......oh man. This is going to be my new favourite game I can tell. One of the things I didn't like about the PC version of Champion Dreams was the controls for when you had to clean the horse. How I wished it could be on my Ds and I could clean that horse Nintendogs style. And now they have granted my wildest dream!!!! Hahahahaha oh boy.....
Oh man...I just went here:
http://www.pippafunnellgame.com/home.php
and read up on the PC version of their "new" Pippa Funnel game and guess what. It's just Champion Dreams repackaged. You can't fool me Ubisoft! I am one of the 2 people in the planet who bought the game. Maybe I should buy it to see if they fixed all the glitches I have previously complained about.
But I am looking forward to the DS version...and I am very serious when I say that haha.

Film Stuffs
Some rough character rotations and colour choices. I'm going to work on effects to make the peach look fuzzy and the apple shiny!!!
I like the idea of colour linework but I'm still working on getting a nice shadow effect as well. I'll have to wait and see what looks best when I work more on the layouts. I want to get some texture aspect in there rather than just flat colours like the ones I'm working with for my leica reel.
I will be pulling things together more over the next couple weeks.

Mr Winkle

I love the way he face plants into the carpet at the end there. So cute!!!

Why PomerErica?
So why did I call this blog PomerErica's World...because of my unhealthy obsession with Pomeranians!!!
This is Tigger with her summer haircut. She was my dog for many years and one of the sweetest little Pom's. She passed away the summer of first year animation. I always felt bad for not being home for that...but life must be lived...or cloned. I wish I could clone her, I really do. I could have like 5 or 6 of her running around hahahah. That would be my dream come true.
I'm not sure of why I thought of her today but I thought I would share her with you.

My blog exploded
I was just adding some links when I accidentally deleted some code which made my blog explode into an array of words.
It was quite frightening. I made a new blog and compared the code to find out what happened and I managed to fix it. This incident only reminds me why I didn't continue on with Computer Science at University.

Little Big on Youtube
Our 3rd Year Animation group film project Little Big is now up on Youtube. The orignal concept was thought up by Anna Gopin. We worked long and hard on this film, but there's still a glitch or 2 here and there, but we got the whole thing coloured and composited. It turned out to be over 6 min and we just about died making it...but in the end I think all the struggles were worth it.
I have to thank Aaron White for teaching us how to colour and composite it and Chantelle Tokarz for doing the sound.
There's still a couple of glitches that we should get around to fixing at some point.

Our characters just chattin up a storm. Aaron is "Sassy Swashbuckler" and I'm "Elrica of Pomerania". So geeky....but so much fun. Edit... his character's name is Zombie Swashbuckler. haha

Some more Concept
A couple more layout concepts for my film. I'm trying out a new style so it might take a few trys to get it looking right. I need to work out some textures and overlay effects to them as well to make it look all nice and...texture-ish! But yeah, I did these in photoshop.
The Peach will also look much better hand drawn. I did this one when my tablet was acting up, so I had to switch over to the mouse (uuuug). But at least I don't hate layout right now like I sometimes do.
I'm trying to get all my layouts worked out really quick in photoshop so I can put them into my leica right away. I want to be animating before Xmas. I remember what it was like doing a minute and a half in the 2nd semester last year PLUS cleanup, PLUS scanning and colouring and compositing. So yeah...before Xmas.

A Peach for the Teach
That's the title for my film I'm making at school.
I threw this layout together as part of some concept design work. The story will take place in an elementary school classroom. I will put up more art as it gets done, and eventually put the best stuff on my website.

Makeover Sunday!!!
So...my sister found this website where you can upload your photo and try out new hairstyles and colours, so she forwarded it to me, not knowing what I was going to do with it.
I decided I wasn't happy with just doing one version, so I did a bunch and with the power of print screen and photoshop I came up with these beauties:
One for me and one for Aaron. Pretty scary stuff, but it was entertaining enough for a few hours.
If you'd like to try out this hideousness youself, here's the webpage:

Art Show
Aaron and I sent off 4 of our new "flat" Rosenpig stuffed animals to an art show in Baltimore, Maryland. The show is taking place here:
http://www.ccspace.org/
They will have some info on the show up soon. WOO!
I hope the little guys do well. I wish I had had time to do some of the other "Fat" Rosenpigs too, but they do take time to make because they're hand sewn from start to finish, and have a hand painted adventure that Aaron does for each one.
Hooray for the Art Show though!

Back in Oakville
So I'm back in Oakville now, getting ready to start 4th year.
Aaron and I made 14 Rosenpigs of a new flat design (machine sewn so they take less time than the fat log type which is all by hand) and he should be taking then to the Occupied shop pretty soon. They will be cheaper since they are far easier to make (but they still took some time).
We made another 4 to send to an art show in Baltimore, Maryland. They might not get there in time for the opening but we'll see. Gotta spread the Rosenpig love!
I should finish unpacking now...but I will try to post stuff frequently about my film because I will be starting that up pretty quickly. I love youtube!!! So easy.
