Inspirational Art Style: The Ricochet Splendid

If this was a real show, i'd watch the heck out of it.


This is only a short blog post but I was browsing social media when I got recommended a video called 'The Ricochet Splendid' on Vimeo which is a non commercial project created by 2veinte. The animation has this really colourful over the top art style which I adore but not only that it switches between single colour comic book-esque style to much more detailed shots an example being the inside of the Jet with all the dials and switches and backgrounds.

Additionally, the style reminds me of the 2004 science fiction anime Dead Leaves with the style of shading and over-exaggerate perspectives which I find to be really cool and something I've wanted to experiment with for a while.

Discussing the Progression of my Art Style.

Image
The Nythim art Style. At the end of the first year I made it my goal to get better at software like adobe illustrator during the break to further develop my skills, but also attempt to create a style that I could consistently work with and expand upon comfortably. Eventually I came up with a Minimal style that uses line art and minimal colour to create futuristic and cyberpunk inspired art. Majority if not all of my art in this style is posted on my Instagram account. Below is an example of my current art style.  Trace Image Designs: However it took me quite a bit of developing and experimentation for my artwork to become what it is today.  When I started using illustrator on a daily basis, a lot of my artwork featured a variety bright colours in comparison to how I work now. The first style I worked with focused heavily on the trace image tool, using this tool on images in PNG format ...

Inspirational Artist: Artem Solop

Image
Punk Painting, Vector madness & Robot Pop There are many artists and designers that I find inspiring, Corpse tits and her eye candy lewd pieces, Simon Stålenhag with his scenic artwork combining Swedish countryside with futuristic elements and much more. But there is one artist that I find absolutely inspirational and aspire to be like one day, Artem Solop.  Artem Solop creates both digital and traditional futuristic graffiti-esque illustrations that simply stand out amongst the rest, his designs have a sketchy yet neat and contained appeal to them that I adore. I always look at his work that has been hand drawn using ball points and fine liners in amazement hoping of one day being able to create sketchbooks filled with pages the way he does his. The switch up of colours with his drawings I  personally find  adds to the sketchbook feel. The additional use of cutesy simple drawings, shapes and text alongside his more detailed pieces really a...

Process and Production: The Boiling Effect with Sara Nesturuk

Image
Combining hand drawn with digital For today's workshop with Sara we will be having a look at an animation technique called boiling. Boiling is a rather quick technique that uses hand drawn illustrations that are converted to digital and animated to give off this fidgety and agitated appearance. To begin with, we sketched an asset to work with and traced it an additional 2 times, I decided to do my Nythim skull as the illustration (surprise surprise.) One thing to take note is that when creating the boil animation effect, apparently it's preferable to create an odd number of illustrations to work with instead of even because if you use an even number the animation effect has a sort of glitchy look instead of a agitated look.  Whilst we were creating the illustrations Sara showed me an interesting artist called David Foldvari. David has been working as an illustrator since the late 90s, his client list consist of companies like Nike, New York Times,...
