tim burton process work

Google Doodle for Tim Burton

So I still can't decide which one to do so I did both this week..

Number 1: Monsters in the closet
I just outlined the drawing and filled the shapes with basic colours. Just as stated in my previous blog entry, creatures would be forming the Google letters. I'm planning to animate this, but con to that it would not be as detailed like this. I'm thinking of doing like a flipbook animation to show a more personal touch to the piece.

The other image is the rough storyboard for this idea. Basically it starts with a door. Then a character opens it followed by the rest. As the "e" curls to form the letter, "g" slams the door making "e" look like that and ending the animation.






Number 2: Stainboy

Meet the star of this idea, Stainboy! Tim Burton's original character and the main star of his webisodes with Flinch Studio. He is also the one in charge of touring everyone in Burton's official website. So I thought that he would be the perfect solo character to show Tim Burton's style.

My plan for this idea would be animated. I attempted to make one for this week using DOink. It would be the original Google logo at the beginning. Then Stainboy would push it away, leaving stain on the blank ground. Then the stain grows to form Google and eventually comes to life, staring at Stainboy.





For both my concepts, I take the same approach. Tim Burton is not just a film maker, he's an artist. His illustration style is the one that drove people into his crazy world. And I want to show that. I want to show the dark yet whimsical creatures as a sample of his artistic vision. So I hope that by using the right characters and rendering them as close as Tim Burton would, I would be able to do justice.
