Fleischer Studios Production Memo

This is a rare set of office paperwork from the Fleischer Studios. The set includes the original studio folder with a collection of production information stapled to the rear cover, as well as a small collection of sample imagery to demonstrate the process the studio was using for animation.

I spent the last year and a half making this film!!! 

Allisk8r is a 3d animated film that highlights snappy, flat cartoon animation style, fast action, and colorful throwback design. Made as my senior thesis at RCAD, 2017

 In prehistoric times, a little alligator with a big attitude gets his kicks skateboarding and being a cool dude. But will Allisk8r be able to catch a break once the dino-law gets on his case??

story, designs, modeling, rigging, animation, editing, lighting, comp, all done by me!

Felt like doodling the Lapidot fusion I made forever ago, I decided to name her Turquoise. I’ll probably hate these tomorrow. That always happens when I draw while I’m sick but w/e

In case you don't know what to draw

- Your favorite character with clothes they would never wear. - A crack ship. - Dance poses. Breakdance poses are always better. - Backgrounds!!!! - Think about a feeling/emotion, try drawing something that would make you feel that way. - A magical/mythical creature. - Modern day AUs are always fun. - What would your fave’s room look like? - Expressions! Extra points for making them exaggerated. - Flying objects. Any kind of objects. Put some wings on a refrigerator. - Your outfit! - Design a mermaid. Or a sprite.

SURPRISE! In addition to the August Prompts this month, I wanted to give you guys a special bonus! This is the Gemsona Stats Sheet- a chart which you can use to evaluate your gemsona’s abilities and personality based on 15 different categories! This sheet serves not only as a reference for you and others- it’s a good way to get you thinking about your gemsona and working on character building! This is also great chance for you to flex your writing muscles and explain why you ranked your gemsona however-many stars in each category, and if you want, you can add a drawing of your gemsona alongside their stats!

Open the photos in a new tab for full-sized versions, look here for the stand-alone Stats Sheets without the drawing space. Examples of completed Stat Sheets can be found here and here.

✰ What Each Category Means ✰

Strength: In terms of physical power, how strong is your gemsona? Agility: How nimble or quick is your gemsona?  Confidence: How self-assured are they? (Either in their abilities or in themself?) Willpower: How well can your gemsona commit to a course of action and follow-through? Social Skills: How well can they interact with other people / gems? Charisma: How charming is your gemsona?  Stamina: How much endurance does your gemsona have? Creativity: How well can they come up with ingenious ideas? Empathy: How well can they understand and sympathize with other peoples / gems’ feelings?  Humor: How funny is your gemsona? Discipline: How well can your gemsona control their emotions? Intelligence: How well can your gemsona obtain and apply knowledge and skills? Perception: How well can they notice things others don’t? Luck: How well do things typically go for your gemsona? (Do situations usually work out in their favor?) Skill / Special: Relating to your gemsona’s special ability, a talent that only they have, or a hobby. Open-ended.

✰ How to Fill Out the Chart ✰

There are ten stars ranking your gemsona’s place in the category from 1-10, 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest (and 0 being non-existent). The rankings are as follows: 0: Dreadful | 1: Very Poor | 2: Pretty Poor | 3: Poor | 4: Below Average | 5: Average | 6: Above Average | 7: Good / High | 8: Great / Very High | 9: Fantastic | 10: Outstanding

(Note about Fusions: If your gemsona is a 2-gem fusion, then each star counts as 2. For a 3-gem fusion, each star counts as 3, etc. Please note if your gemsona is a fusion in your post if possible).

Try to keep your total number of stars below 110! You can only max out 3 categories on the gemsona chart AT MOST. You don’t have to max out any categories if you don’t want to, but three categories is the limit. The reason? Overpowered characters are overrated and incredibly boring! There’s no need for you to max out all the categories in order to make a cool character! If you really want to make a gemsona who has 10+ categories with ten stars filled in (or 3 maxed out and ten of the other categories at 9 stars or something equally high) you can go ahead and do it, but keep in mind what I said before (and that your post won’t be reblogged to Gemsona-HQ). If you have a good reason for making your gemsona have more than 3 stats maxed out, I’m willing to listen. Please refer to the examples linked above to see some ways you can have a high-ranking character who still has balanced stats!

✰ Dos and Don’ts ✰

Dos: Balance out your gemsona’s stats! Maybe your gemsona has a fantastic sense of Humor but their Luck is horrible, maybe they’re Intelligent but they have awful Social Skills, you tell me! Have fun messing with the stats. 

Don’ts: It’s worth repeating- one of the most important things to remember when filling out the chart is Overpowered is Overrated! Giving a character abysmal stats and watching them struggle and grow is more fun than working with an overpowered character who is already at the top and has nowhere else to go! (That being said- I don’t recommend you give your gemsona all 1′s or 0′s either- try giving them a couple stars somewhere. There’s 15 categories: I’m sure you can figure something out!)

Tag your post as #Gemsona Stats Sheet within the first five tags of your post so we can reblog them here! 

Once you’re done filling this out, check out the 30 Day Gemsona Challenge!  I can’t wait to see your gemsona’s stats!

Backgrounds from the Stevencrewniverse, Steven Universe Font via, all crystals, design, and layout done by me. Referenced The Six Stats and Character Stats among other DnD and character building resources for the categories. Thanks to everyone who helped me decide on the final layout of the sheet (you guys rock)!

CamScanner: a must have for traditional artists!

hello! I recently found this rad app called “CamScanner”, a mobile app for android and iOS

what does this app do? well, basically it imitates a scanner, so even if you don’t have one, you can take real cool pictures of your drawings!

for this to work, i suggest you take a picture of your entire paper / sketchbook / etc. The app will automatically crop your picture and come out with something like this:

(sometimes it wont be too accurate, but that can be easily fixed by moving the frame yourself)

once scanned, the app will make it so your drawing looks like this:

(the app will have some presets, so you might want to mess around with those. OR you can mess with the settings yourself to get a look you desire)

this can be really helpful if you plan to color your traditional piece on a computer, or something similar.

this can even work with colored drawing, if you’d like!

original:

edited with CamScanner:

if you mess with the settings yourself, i bet you could get the picture to look better, as i did this with the presets.

anyway, i hope this helps!

Aaah I forgot to post about this on Tumblr whoops. I’m curious about what models are most popular right now. If you’re a digital artist who uses a drawing tablet, which one do you use?
