Hi all,

I have been busy with life and all, but I am still chugging away at Team Pi (an animated series). I met some new people to help with the series in terms of story and art direction, so I hope to produce quality content for this community.

Here are a few sneak-peaks in the form of colored animatics:

I was quite busy until yesterday due to work. I finally have a 4-day vacation, so I plan to spend most of it on Team Pi.

Here's a progress pic of the poster:


 

Hi anyone who is reading this,

I've been quite busy with my job, but I just started working on "Team Pi" again.
I bought a new MacBook Pro + Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 for "Team Pi". 
Currently, I'm working on a promotional poster for my cartoon. Here is a quick preview:

Hi all!

Here's just a little peek at my hand-drawn process of the animation I'm making.

I'm using a lightbox (well.. a light pad, technically) to draw each keyframe sketch. I scan each frame into the computer for processing and will eventually port them over to ToonBoom Studios Harmony to do some in-between frames and such. I may also draw in-betweens by hand for important scenes.

Hope to share more updates as I go :D!

In the animation "Pi Fights Monsters", there will be a few close-ups of Pi's face. Due to her simplistic design, close-up shots would look a bit odd. I spent a while designing Pi's close-up face and ended with something like this:

I kept a similar eye design to Pi's original:

but I made it more detailed so it's more interesting to look at.

I'm currently working on the "Pi Fights Monsters" animation. It's a lot of work to plan out the camera angles and all (especially since it's hand drawn), so I'm sketching out rough scenes. It's still in the beginning stages, but at least there's progress! Please stay tuned for more updates :)

While working on the "Team Pi" animation, I worked with two Newgrounds citizens to create an audio drama teaser:

Hope you enjoy! :)

Hi all,

I've been busy with work and job stuff, but I recently had some time to work on "Team Pi". The animation I'm working on is actually "Episode 2", but I may just make "Episode 1" a comic to introduce characters. The cost and time it takes to produce the animation myself is too high, and I already have the audio for Episode 2, so this might be the route I go.

This is good news, however. This means I'll release the animation sooner than planned. Without waiting for Episode 1 to finish, I can share the content faster.
