Left over from BAD work day! LOL

2 pages of left over comic from the bad work day!! LOL The rest of the week, since the bad day is actually better. But still fun to post these ... lately I have been working on more MOCAP animation ... on a BAD animation day, when the MOCAP is fighting with the key frames, and when I am tired, hand hurt, eyes hurt ... it feels almost impossible to get everything done on time with the desire result. My work place is very grey and dark, unlike most studios, they decorate their walls with pretty colorful artworks ... my studio is pretty much all GREY ... grey carpet, grey cubical, grey wall, black boring PCs ... it's very easy to make a grumpy day FEEL worst then it is. Anyhow ... I often joke to my friend that I work for the Dark force. LOL

Below are sketches of my students working hard and last page of Line Rider Artworks. Line Rider artworks is copyrighted by the studios. Have a great weekends!

Hello Alina :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. What I like about these comics is that your 'humor' is intact despite bad work day! Yeah! now that's a potent aid to fight GREY surroundings ;)

Alina Chau said...

Thank you everyone.

GOGOPEDRO,
Thanks!! Actually ... that's not even as cool as a Cintiq ... it's just a regular monitor. LOL

Alina, your sketches are always so awesome! Drawing something like this on my bad day would certainly make me feel better.

I used to work at an ad agency whose color was grey -- everything was grey, just like your workspace. Depressing. But I saw a photo of a cubicle where someone had "wallpapered" the cubicle walls with some colorful tablecloth from Ikea. I wish I had done that!

sometimes amazing work can come out of bad days and these are amazing, I love the one of you fighting the dark side, soooo cool

Lianne said...

Aw, it's hard when your surroundings are very blah. Also, working with mocap can get frustrating...I hate it when it fights your keyframes. It's like you're just re-doing work.

For such a bad day, though, you produce wonderful and humorous sketches. I love them! Your sketches of your students are great too. I love the loose watercolors.

Alina Chau said...

Thank you all.

Bella Sinclair,
I like the IKEA wallpaper idea!! That's very clever!! I add color to the cubica by covering it up with postcards I collected and artworks of friends ... for inspiration ^___^

Hi Alina!

Thanks for the comment on my blog - I see your sketchbooks are as gorgeous and mouth-watering as ever!

Jaimie said...

Amazing. I adore your work. It appears you work very hard and have fun doing it.

Mumu said...

even your "bad work" seems super cool! I assume your "good work" will just knock us over!!

Excellent work.

Burt said...

Ohhhhh, that reminds me of a few pieces I did in college involving tv/monitor-head guys. I'll have to take a picture of of of them and post it.

Fun bad-workday illustrations, Alina!
