How to make "it"? Do you know?

2009-05-22T11:55:00.000-07:00

Aha! Now you can congratulate me. Finally, I successfully graduated from high school!
"sounds of party: opening a bottle of champagne, joyful shouts, glasses clink"
It is time for adult life."whistling and applause"
But is it so?

...
... ...
... ... ..?!

I... I don`t feel any changes.
In any case, let`s be serious. At this point I will try to improve and develop some skills and abilities, I possess. "Reports" of my successes will be placed here. But it is not complete. "To have someone there was no temptation to assign them yourself (I am not accusing anybody(!), but I don`t have thing named "copyright", isn`t it?)

I understand, that the way "creator" (director, animator, composer, etc.) is very long and risky. And I don`t claim to be one of them. But nothing prevents me just... to try. So I`ll do it(or not...)!

An odd girl`s tale

Finished... "Morph" and some.
At first I thought that this would be similar to Selik or Burton(I know, I know, but I like it!). But when I read, I realized that it has some significant differences. For fun, I have chosen three themes. I have a very good result to deploy them. Not too detailed, but... While I can`t draw well. But I`ll try to do better. Without any help. I`m too young, not need to hurry.
Moreover, what I am doing this not so long. In fact people tend to "stumble" on the first steps.
Maybe some people can understand me in it.)

So much desire and too little opportunity. Preparations for the Single State Exam, concert. And, finally, a chair. Most likely, next week I will be free. Only then will I put new ones here.
By the way recently, I have to draw better and better. At least I think so. Damn, I don`t know what it is. But in one thing I can be sure: I had to enroll in art school... Why are these talents awake so lately!?

And yet... Here are a few videos that may raise your mood. Funny Russian flash-animation.
"Smoke kills"

"New Year 2004. Let's go!"

"Read all need!"

A bit of a strange humor here... I am not sure but I think you will like the first!
:B

Chair 2

2009-04-03T09:21:00.000-07:00

I made some sketches of patterns today... It was not so easy. But looks the other way around. Almost completed. Although still have quite a lot of work. When I finish this chair, a picture will be here... In any result.

During the break I have fun. A little drawing on the floor. But I liked to paint on the floor)). Of course, I wiped it after. Yes... it`s Jack Skelengton. Again. Oh, I`m tired of this already.

Here it is:

*I was lucky that my mom did not see it...

Chair

2009-03-29T08:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I found an old my grandfather`s chair in the garage. It was there for 8 years! And now, remembering it, I decided to make something new out of this thing. For our country house.))
Looks a bit... unusual, isn`t it? ^^

* I have at the beginning of my work now.) I want to do something in the African style.

"The great and terrible Maria"))

2009-03-28T11:28:00.000-07:00

I didn`t want to post it here, but... only memories and feelings about it. Nothing more.

Bwahahaha! :P

I paint every day. Not on purpose, I just want to do so. And while most of the images remained in my head. Like... their movements are too shackled. I`ll try to use something like frame.
The most strange thing I can very clearly imagine some actions, faces or events, but I can`t move them on paper.
Some of them are very pale, I correct and replacing them later.

OK... horror things... umm... well... and others)

2009-03-13T08:53:00.000-07:00

On the first picture, my hero, which I drew earlier... alive "thoughtfully". I said that I write a story already. It is a pity that Halloween has ended. Although... Today is Friday 13!

(2)This is the creatures of my second character. Guy in a white robe. I drew it too.

So it`s drawings... It looked rather crazy, but not terrible. Maybe I just can`t... :P

Here you are))

As I said, this is Morph. So...
Actuarly, red colour doesn`t mean blood. In fact, it is light, under a cloth on its face.

Yes... recently I had no time to think about such things. Nevertheless before going to bed, I sometimes manage to devote time to it.

2009-02-28T11:29:00.000-08:00

I did it for a short time... this is a lot of mistakes there. I correct them later... and may be paint one. I heard that "morph" means "changing" at some language...

I wanted to "scare" but it seems that I scare you only terrible mess in my minds...

I came to mind an interesting thought... just... Jack Skillengton is the skeleton, isn`t it? The skeleton must get from somewhere. So, in theory, he was alive... and I decided to revive him.

I wanted to do this in the Burton style, but I didn`t fully succeed. In truth, in minds he was other, than I transferred him on paper.

And some more

2009-02-24T04:44:00.000-08:00

Well, a few more works on this topic... and then another "mysteriously"... and enough... I stayed too long at that.

I am interested in Oogie Boogie. Something about... all right, just look, if you want)

The second picture from my story... I made the boots for Jack(he looks like a real hero, after all). First, I wanted to give him another costume... but it`s no need. Better, I draw something other than spoiled him.

Here's my Nightmare drawings

2009-02-20T06:16:00.000-08:00

I don`t know why I drew it... but looks a little bit funny)

2009-02-14T06:56:00.000-08:00

It`s my color experiments. I don`t often paint my works... I think rabbit not so bad, as others)

2009-02-14T01:45:00.000-08:00

Yap... It was too hard to find second video in internet...

I don`t know what you think, but I know he is quite cheerful person... in any case he was. It is an old record and he could change since this time... In fact, I don`t often see he on our television...

I heard he is working on creating a new movie, the name of it "9"... but it was created using computer graphics, while "Nightmare Before Christmas" was a puppet cartoon... but, unfortunately, nowdays it is out of fashion (this is a great happiness for those who create them). The Nightmare, perhaps the most remarkable creation of Burton, each character was made with love. What a tremendous work has been done: the scenery, lighting, music (thanks to Danny Elfman)...

Ahh... This may sound funny to you, but I don`t know what that Christmas means... Perhaps this is one of the causes, which makes me love this cartoon...

My tale))

2009-02-13T07:54:00.000-08:00

Actually, I make something like a storie about "Nightmare." So...

[15/04/09] Only now I understand that plagiarism is something of which man should be ashamed! Never do this! Never! I admit my mistake and I never going to emulate this great man!
What I thought about?!

Welcome on my blog!))

This man, whose name Beetlejuice... Yes... I remember as a child watching this cartoon. Recently, found a tape recording of it at home and looked at the old dusty VCR...
You know, it was wonderfull!
And I decided that this is the best movie I ever seen. No silly, not primitive, and most importantly - the main character so fun!
Mr. Brad Goodchild you must to know that you gave this character a lot, that makes people love it! In our country, still there are people who remember him... although they do have banned him (but I still don`t understand why?)
Thank you very much!
(However, I would like to leave this appeal here, if you will allow me)
