I like all the clean lines, those filing cabinets are so straight!
Guest, The MLPTP's Fundraiser and Prize Giveaway will be returning on June 1st! Check out this thread for all the latest news!
I used a ruler and they still aren't straight, especially the counter tops they ended up crooked.I like all the clean lines, those filing cabinets are so straight!
I'm not really sure why everything ended up slightly green, I used white paper to make them. Not sure what you mean by a wholesome atmosphere. The main reason for the stamps was that I didn't want to make art and they're like premade wall art, also they add a bit of colour to an otherwise dull area. It turns out drawling clocks is harder than it appeared at least the white one turned out somewhat decent, and I still haven't gotten around to making hands for them, also I haven't redrawn any of the items as I have way to many things I need to draw to go about redrawing stuff.I like the very light seafoam green tint you've given the props, I'm guessing with a photo edit program. Giving them color and making the background a strong white makes a sort of wholesome atmosphere, if that's what you're going for. I could see this used with a slice of life animation, indie animation. If you're trying to go for a very serious office environment instead of the wholesome tone - get rid of the stamps, make the numbers of the clock a bit more straight, maybe somehow add some more detail to the clock.
I'm guessing you redrew the television set.
Does anyone read this thread, if you do why don't you say something.
Anyway here's a preview of some of the crap I've been working on.

If your wondering about all the words, it's my list of stuff that I have yet to draw.
I'm not really sure as I've been making it up as I go, if I remember right the first aid and fire alarm sign are one centimeter wide and two and a half long. Not sure if that helps figure out the scale or not.What scale you are drawing in?
You ask that with very nearly as many responses to this thread as you have posts.Does anyone read this thread, if you do why don't you say something.

I've made them for background props for an animation I haven't figured out yet, originally I was going to use the paper cutouts but I couldn't figure out lighting, or how to keep stuff from deciding it needed to move, so I said for get that and scanned them and shoved them into an animation program.You ask that with very nearly as many responses to this thread as you have posts.
And it looks great! So you make these to use them in scenes of your animations? Do you use the paper cutouts or do you transfer the images to digital?
Diffused sunlight - like the diffused sunlight of a cloudy day, a smartphone for taking pictures (without using zoom), and a very very small amount of uncolored sticky tac. Those should do the trick.I've made them for background props for an animation I haven't figured out yet, originally I was going to use the paper cutouts but I couldn't figure out lighting, or how to keep stuff from deciding it needed to move, so I said for get that and scanned them and shoved them into an animation program.
If anyone is wondering the stuff I made recently is for animations that will have ponies in them, when ever I finish making props and actually decide what I'm doing.
That was the original idea but I couldn't figure some stuff out so I've gone with a digital method.I was thinking you might cut them out for something. Your attention to detail is impressive!
My problem is that the only time I have for this kind of thing is at night so no sun light for me, I did have glass I got just for the project.Diffused sunlight - like the diffused sunlight of a cloudy day, a smartphone for taking pictures (without using zoom), and a very very small amount of uncolored sticky tac.

Otherwise I've found that scanners work fine with the lip up as well, and it gives you a chance to get that sunlight for a better picture. Bonus points if you have any hard clear material like plastic or glass to hold the paper down with, instead of using the scanner lid.
I have not, I've done flipbook-style animation and digital frame-by-frame animation, but not specifically paper cutout.My problem is that the only time I have for this kind of thing is at night so no sun light for me, I did have glass I got just for the project.
Have you ever done any paper cutout animation?
Why would you do that I bet your art is way better than mine and I let other people see my crap so why would you hide yours?Eh, I have, but they're all set to private with the rest of my art. For now I'd like to keep it that way.
I've ended up experiencing some pretty severe burnout as a result of my years of posting my art online. I always put my heart and soul into my artwork, like taking parts of myself and posting them online for all to see. When I did that for years and heard nothing but crickets it negatively effected my self-worth. Now I struggle to enjoy making artwork anymore, so I've gone mostly offline with it until I can recover from that.Why would you do that I bet your art is way better than mine and I let other people see my crap so why would you hide yours?
