30% visual done

I did most of the illustration in Illustrator today and I did quite a few. This makes my visual progressing and makes my goal of finishing it this week possible. I redraw it in Illustration because I scare that the design is different from the others. This may help as they look more connected to each other.

Half way there, hut.

The overall of what I've done so far.

Prototype progression

I have done both prototype for scene 1 and 2. I managed to link the files but I thought it was a stupid question to ask the lecturer when it's just so simple. Anyways, the linking doesn't work on the preview but only when the file is directly opened from the published html. ( but Finally~!! )

The action trigger for the scene 2. It is done in every button separately.

Scene 3 prototype

I got how the second scene's prototype work out and now I have to think about scene 3. Different from scene 2, the image I wanted was the button's initial but stays at it's stop frame. It can be tricky so why that's why it may take more time than what I expect.

The progression recorded. At the end it didn't change much as I am still figuring out for that for now. 

I also started on the swing visual but currently my laptop wasn't feeling healthy much so saving it can be a task too.

Horse done!

I'm done with the horse and a lot more to do… wee…. anyway, I was thinking that if I were to done my drawings with photoshop for the characters, the file size would be very big. Then I thought that my character wouldn't match much to my art style. For now, it looks like there's multiple design is trying to fit into one. I have to confirm on my full design as I don't really much time to think about it. I can say that now I'm very left behind and I need to catch up!

My horse final outcome

Later I'll need to draw out the character riding on it and animate it to look like she's playing with it.

So I try to compare the two design and I asked for my friend (Adriana's) opinion. She suggested that I took the hatching out to make the design more similar to each other. Other than that, she says the hatching style didn't really suits the children's illustration. And so I did. This is then the comparison of 'before' and 'after'.

Start Prototype

I recently started on the visual of the playground and now is still on the progress of doing it. However, I already listed down what I should be and I should be more serious about my schedule. Anyhow, aside from the visual, I also started on the prototype. So far, I could only done the prototype of the first scene.

The horse from the park. This I will separate it into two parts, the spring and the horse. I'm not sure if I were to draw the little girl here directly or in Photoshop. If I were to do it in Illustrator, the graphic may change due to different attribute.

I tried and tried to link it to the other edge file but it doesn't work. I tried to find it but couldn't get how it was gone. There is a site where someone has posted it, however the file cannot be opened.

I thought it was quite useful as it work well for the people who asked it the first place.Sadly, I have to find other alternative in searching for a way to do it. Most videos I found regarding the linking are mostly linking to the existing url. Which I tested it out to make sure that mine is working well, and sure enough it did.

This probably what I have right now…… Will have to find more tutorials on this. Also, will try to finish up the visuals by this week if possible, aside from the other assignments and research that have to be done.

Bg and test

I have colored the background on watercolor paper and scanned it out. It is slightly different as this time I am using for all scene.

It doesn't look as soft as the original ones though…. but I guess I would go with this. I might try scanning it somewhere else to get a closer version to the original. Otherwise, I use this.

So last time I used this button and play animation. I thought if it's okay if I am using for multiple object, and I try on the same method. It worked.

Whenever it click, it will play the animation no matter which you put it first. So yeah, that's what I wanted in the playground scene.

Visual start!

So, the semester break has just started and according to the schedule I've made, I should start on the visuals already. Thus, I did.

For the still images I used back the sketches from before, I just colored it with water color and scanned it. I also scanned some I think I can used as reference.

And so as reference, I redraw the girl in Photoshop but in timeline to get the gif of the girl's hair  and dress moving.

The final gif

Took me quite some time to get it right. One time I forgot to save and have to redraw again. At least it turned okay, I guess.
