Im working on this graffiti piece that im going to be animating soon .
Im a bit overwhelmed with the project as of right now . As far as i
can determine its going to require many many frames to properly depict
this animation . I want it to look as if a brickwall is bieng spraypainted
right in front of the viewer . Something like this video here :
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2FvhcEeS0C8&mode=related&search=
So my image would start off looking like this :

Then with the animation would prorgressively begin to look like this :

Im still in rough draft mode on that image directly above . But close !
Ive done alot of work on this image from scratch . I did have to use
some text images to get the template going but mostly i freehanded !
So im looking to get some insight as to how i can make this project
easier , faster , better (both in labor and quality) , and not to big
in refference to memory space . I dont want it to be ginormous if
at all avoidable ! It would be cool to make this my signature !
Artists thoughts on the project itself are welcome ! Image quality
anything thats comes to mind , Style , whatever it is . Thanks .
I know my buddy IQclone is about some graffiti stuff !
Where you at on this one little bro ? Dont sleep on Chicago ! |

Your brick wall is photographed in the wrong angle.

Or if you really wanna think outside the box, then the bricks could be on the ground with a low camera angle o.O

Sure John you could look at it that way . But what graffiti artist or any artist would want there work walked on ? Its a good angle to think from "outside
the box" but in the context of bieng on the ground i cant go with that .
Does anyone at HBH create there own drawings ? Would any of those
who do care to give some insight as what programs they use or
how they go about doing there own drawings ? Tricks , tips , etc !? |

Actually, one of my mates did a fantastic piece of graffiti where there is a paint can, and the paint is being poured out and actually goes onto the pavement, its sweet!
I will be back |

Yes but it does start on a wall , correct !?
Ive never seen to many artist that would put the whole piece on the
ground itself . Ive seen some bombs that have parts on the ground .

Anybody have some artistic advise or suggestions on aspects that could be
improved with this piece ? I keep watching it over and over trying to see
if theres anything i missed . Im also thinking of changing the way the
purple perimiter layer is put together , i dont like how its all over the
place when its bieng drawn . I think it would look better if i made it
so that the outside line is drawn first then the inside parts are filled in last .
Any thoughts or suggestions would be nice . My head hurts from thinking
about it . Having some additional eyes would be great . Thanks .
Peace , Neqtan
