April 14, 2010 3 comments

Marina and Danny here with another update and today we have a bunch of new stuff for you~! First off, we have a new section called “Process.” Here, we can show everyone a bit more of Danny’s artistic process and put up some in progress stuff. The first item added is character designs, can you tell us about those?

These are simply some character designs I’ve been working on recently. I haven’t finalized any of the designs yet, but I scanned in what I had so far and quickly shaded them in to show you all what I’ve currently been working on.

.

Oh! We also have some new sketchbook pages!

Yup, I”m still in the middle of scanning and uploading this first book, so these are a bunch of pages from that. I’ll probably be able to upload the rest in the next update.

And we also have a new video! This one is called “The Making of Kensho.”

Yes, “the Making of Kensho” is a short little video I put together that shows some of the behind-the-scenes in making Kensho. It features the original, first recording of the piano theme by Dione Tan. It’s mostly made up of compositing shots as most of my early work was lost in a hard drive failure I had during the school year…

Yeah, you have terrible luck with stuff like that don’t you…

A motherboard failure, corrupted sectors in hard drives, mechanical hard drive failure, broken videocard, broken mp3 player, mp3 player I lost in studio, a bunch of broken earphones…
