I drew this for my half-brother this christmas! I had it printed on a 105 cm x 45 cm tall canvas. :)
It’s a tribute to some of my favourite musicians: Movits and Timbuktu . The reason why I wanted to draw them was because:
1. They make great, inspiring music. And I thought they would be a challenge to draw.
2. I can’t stop listening to this song (“Na Na Nah!”) : it’s about keeping your dream alive (music, art, go to space, make the impossible possible!).
3. I noticed my half-brother listened to Movits through Facebook and this picture came to my head. I have promised him a drawing for years and been thinking a lot about what I possibly could draw for him. With this picture floating around in my head I knew it would be something he would like, and I really wanted to make something big and special for him! I think he really liked it!
Here’s the song and here’s what the canvas looks like on his wall!

I remember being obsessed with these animations when I was 10. The designs are ridiculously cute and hilarious (esp the purple guy)
I guess this is a show on PBS or something now but the original was made in 1988 by those weirdo Canadians :3
Oh, this is so lovely! <3 Brings many memories!
Kaj Pindal came to our school back in 2005 to tutor and give feedback on our final graduation movies. Our movie was shown last and he had fallen asleep when the final movies were running (long trip, and lack of sleep - the movies was probably kind of boring in that state as they needed tons of work too!) - and woke up in the credits of our movie, saying: “nicely animated fire!”. That made my day. XD
Then he watched it again and gave really helpful feedback. He’s such an inspiration and legend! We got to watch a lot of storyboard material of Peep, I learnt a lot from it.
Would you recommend these online courses? I've had a few people recommend them to me, but they seem so expensive. Enlighten me :D
The online distance course I took part of was free since it was part of a public Swedish University in Gotland (it might be available for people outside sweden as well! http://www.hgo.se/adm/eng.nsf/%28$all%29/DB52D035D82A2107C1256E2900471081?OpenDocument ). Most public classes and courses on basic education-level are free in Sweden so I didn’t have to worry about expenses like that. :) So I tried it out with an open mind.
I wouldn’t say that I got what I was looking for, but it was a fun class and I got to draw and design things, people and environments I wouldn’t normally try out. There were one or two experienced tutors there (from game and film industry). I also got really helpful PDF’s on perspective, light/shadow + exercises. Also got feedback on some of the assignments - but I think the feedback was a bit too soft. It wasn’t a strict course, it was easy to pass the class, few checkups and it didn’t have any live sessions like a lot of paid online courses have. So all in all, way better than I had expected of a free class (experienced tutors is rare! Usually in free classes there is some random dude who takes everything from a book) - but if I had paid for it I would’ve at least expected more thorough feedback, webcam/skype calls and live sessions.
I also attended to an evening online class in Flash Animation at the same University later that summer. It wasn’t half as good as the concept art one, mainly because there was only one tutor and she was more experienced in basic advertising than making graphics for games or web sites.
I have been interested in trying Animation Mentor for a long long time, though! I have heard people recommending it. But it’s also so expensive… I think, if you want the real deal, you’ll have too attend to one of the paid ones. But I have heard people not being as lucky with them as well. :S I think if you find a course you are interested in, try to find people who took that particular course or had those particular teachers and tutors and ask about them. In the end it’s a lot about the tutors, I think!
If you decide to attend to a course some day, let me know what you think about it! I want to know too ! :)
I hope my answer was helpful. :D
I am a bit clueless though, but there you have my opinions about it all!
Don’t think I have posted this here yet!
I took part of a distance course in the evenings on the web with concept art in focus (back in january-april 2010).
Now I am not a concept artist at the company I work but it interests me a big deal since I love to draw - so I decided to read more about it and practise.
In this assignment we were to design a character (male or female) for an fps. This is the refined version of a design picked from thumbnails I drew. Here: [link]
I decided on a female design since I don’t draw females enough. And I wanted to make this woman strong and a bit bigger / shorter than the typical fps women (correct me if I’m wrong, but I hardly see any big women in games!). There are not enough big characters in games! :)
