Art: Plankton Time-lapse Video

in #art9 years ago


I added more details on this one — hopefully it's not over-done? ...and yet the overall shape is pretty basic. This didn't take very long, so the process video is significantly shorter.

Cube Plankton!

So the best features I like here: The slanted eyes make it look alert and friendly... maybe a little insane? And the wide grin is a riot. I might have placed the antenna above the mouth, but I didn't want it to interfere. Just a little bit of artistic license I suppose!


A side note:

I find the confident and energetic music represents the ideal plankton. Fast paced, humourous and high-impact. I know a good number of plankton that I'd love to see become minnows/dolphins because we sure need REAL people here!


Quick update or whatever

So, anyways, I haven't been overwhelmed with activity, but I've put in some solid work days (12 hours each) this week, still keeping up on rest as well. I'm hoping to get a bunch of stuff done today and then do 14 posts on the weekend, but I doubt that will happen...

I never can tell for sure, but the following weeks look busy and hectic. My goal of making 14 posts is for this - so I can coast for two weeks instead of one -- and FINALLY work on my spam rant... :O

Have a great weekend, except for spammers. May you be flagged into the deepest, darkest trenches of the oceans!

Alert and friendly.....maybe a little insane...lol
Reminds me of my ex boyfriend. Ha
I know you are an artist so it comes easy....you probably don't even think. But how do you know where to put the shading to give the effect of shadows, light and depth? I never understood how people could do that.
Cool music....reminded me of a 70's detective series. The build up before the big action scene. : )
Love the purple plankton!! And it looks like you have your weekend all mapped out. I went to put the speed down to 50% and I was jamming to the music and......the video was already over. lol I watched on 25%.....I like to see (or guess : )) what you are doing.
Talk soon....

Well I hope he's not on #Steemit — or else you're going to be sooooooo flagged now!!!

It's just guess work, to be honest. Isometric is a pretty forgiving style to work in if things aren't accurate. I just imagine light from a particular direction and keep that in mind :)

Kinda comical, although some of those shows try to be serious and intense and the music is so goofy, like they hired the cheapest studio musician haha...

Maybe I should make a 10 minute version for curious onlookers (next time around...)

Weekend plans could be derailed by work, hopefully not though!

I'm Stupid
:-(

Nah, don't worry about it XD

I laughed when the music started playing. :) Love all your little sea critters. I'll add you to my follows.

Thanks @jcayne - are you new to Steemit?

The music is some funky business! :D

Quite new. I'm still trying to figure things out.

I not want, I'm a squid now already, hahaha
a sea gangsta.....

I still can't believe how popular the squid became in such a short time! ☺

the squid is really a good one! It catches the attention. I think it's the color palette you chose. Congratulations, I'm a new fan! haha

The giant squids are whale killers, hehehehe

My fave is still your Pink Narwhal ;)

this great art i appreciate your drawing t for sharing ..

:(

Kill em with kindness....: )

Kindness is all I have till I get my SP back hahahaa...

I like the antenna on the the bottom! It screams originality lol and yay SPAM RANT haha

I finally managed to wake up early today and got absolutely nothing down lol. I am going to try and get a lot down tomorrow tho, so hopefully I can have a chill week as well!

Oh that elusive spam rant... I may have to find some trick to getting that done... without playing the lotto or stealing haha...

I've had those mornings, get up to accomplish stuff and then it's 10:45 with nothing done :(

Batch posting seems to be super helpful for me... hope I can keep juggling everything!! :D

From the video I get the feeling that Plankton is the Shaft of sea creatures.

I too am working with Plankton, I am the BOT of the MINNOW BOOT CAMP! We have many things set up for our little fishes and we are approaching a Full Class for our first "school". I would appreciate it if you look at our materials, Sir OKC. ;) You know some pretty big Fish and I am also seeking other DELI to boost my power and maybe help the little ones get up past Bandwidth Issues and working towards that elusive SILDER. You know, this thing? :D
