Apart from finishing the Candice pinup, so far I don't have much planned for the rest of the month. There are at least a few ideas I had to hold off on while working on the comic, but so far I haven't really latched onto any of them in a "I need to draw this NOW!" way. With the month getting shorter - and my AC apparently not functioning - I'm tempted to turn off billing and make this a free month. But if I get this one contract, I may need to do the same next month...
If I don't get that contract - the client did experience some sticker shock when we gave them a quote - what then? Apart from some of those on-hold ideas, I'm tempted to try some 2.5D animation!
While I'd like to make a 2D platformer, animating, inking, and coloring all of the sprites would be quite time-consuming. A better alternative might be to only draw a few keyframes, turn them into cutouts, and use bones to blend between them. Since I've never used this technique before, I figured this animation of Daisy might be a good one to test it out on! But first I'll need to figure out how to construct the 2D puppet.
Any thoughts?
