Thanks for the great post! I always ...Hey Andreas!<br /><br />Thanks for the great post! I always was interested in the process of creating a character both with sketches and sculpture as a side project while animating. Actually I have a couple of posts on my blog with some pictures of my tries on that if your interested to check it...<br />http://thanoskousis.blogspot.gr/<br /><br />Also thanks for the tip about the joints on the hand animation. Great info!<br /><br />I thought mama Odie was one of the most original Disney characters. Great work and as mentioned above, I would also like to see some analysis of your other characters with their maquettes. Especially Jafar (I'm a big fan of his)!<br /><br />Thanks again for the awesome post!Thanos Kousishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880696252044535668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-65378358401013164032012-10-20T19:06:09.569-07:002012-10-20T19:06:09.569-07:00Love the tip on the number of knuckles in each fin...Love the tip on the number of knuckles in each finger. :) In 3D we rarely think about such shortcuts since the model is already built for us. But I love how you get the simplicity and readability in your hand poses, you'd never even notice they were missing joints unless you looked closely! If anything it reads even MORE clearly with less knuckles since you pare it down to the bare essentials of the pose.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387605190002948203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-15303492771276850772012-10-19T18:08:48.454-07:002012-10-19T18:08:48.454-07:00Wow! it's amazing the way you draw hands Mr De...Wow! it's amazing the way you draw hands Mr Deja!

I think it's useful to analyze the proportions thoroughly to better understand the character's structure.<br />Simply drawing the character a lot from all angles and in all kinds of moods will eventually get you there.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-15698629219827576512012-10-18T07:41:56.888-07:002012-10-18T07:41:56.888-07:00Wow, is it possible that you post the other sculpt...Wow, is it possible that you post the other sculptures you have?

Not only was...Andreas, thank you for posting this! Not only was I interested in hearing more about Mama Odie's creation, but you also touched on a concept I've been racking my brain at better understanding: Staying on model. I know there must be several factors that play into an artist's ability to keep a character on model. Obviously a 3-D maquetter greatly helps, as well as model sheets. <br /><br />What else would you advise as good practice to keep a character 'on model'? <br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122058275723480326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-51729662205976921852012-10-18T00:55:20.521-07:002012-10-18T00:55:20.521-07:00While I immensely enjoy your posts on other, somet...While I immensely enjoy your posts on other, sometimes already deceased animation masters, I slightly prefer your posts on your own work, Mr Deja.<br />Never mind whether it "lives up" to the "Old Guard's" work or not - hearing it directly from the creator there's no second-guessing the artist's intentions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219482312632171188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-65841417514985944312012-10-18T00:04:29.440-07:002012-10-18T00:04:29.440-07:00What a beautiful maquette.

I remember when they painted the Beauty and the Beast maquettes for the Sotheby's auction (and probably for sale elsewhere too)- it seemed like such a tragedy. It's much easier to appreciate them sculpturally in their monochromatic state.Eric Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149591952925380521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-15493075819226076712012-10-17T23:57:19.340-07:002012-10-17T23:57:19.340-07:00love your "hands" model sheetslove your "hands" model sheetsj.etiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344123807950141929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-18623620487890280312012-10-17T23:00:42.613-07:002012-10-17T23:00:42.613-07:00I dunno if I've complimented your blog yet, bu...I dunno if I've complimented your blog yet, but it's probably my favorite.

Still, I have a long way to go, but looking at a sculpt really strengthens your drawings.andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206690011863649860noreply@blogger.com
