The animation for this tentacle has always bothered me. It flickered because I drew the suckers with haste. Looking back now I also realize the resolution wasn’t as good as it could be, so I an digging in for a second time in Callipeg and doing the animation at double the resolution. With more pixels the lines are more crisp and accurate. I am not changing the animation but rather cleaning it up. My hope is that I might be able to use the painted cells with minor adjustments.
I isolated the head on this pass at the animation because I plan to ass a subtle squash and stretch to the head when the octopus blinks. I will also animate that second oxygen canister a tiny bit in After Effects. Photoshop has crashed twice this morning. I really want to get away from these faulty digital nightmarish programs.
Yesterday I also did quite a bit of work on the promotional postcards and I am ready to sent those off to the printer. I will order the postcards today online and pick them up in person. The button proof came back and that looks fine so those are in the works. I am searching for Chicago media contacts and have found site that sell a list but I don’t want to go that route. There has to be a comprehensive site to research this.
