Well, since the shorts have aired twice now on DC Nation, and I've gotten permission from the director, I decided to post some of the stuff I enjoyed drawing the most from the Amethyst Princess of Gemworld shorts. I did most of the props and a couple bg's when the BG person needed a hand.
You'll no doubt notice the original models posted next to all the props. They were designed and drawn by the director Brianne Drouhard (
potatofarmgirl). Once the prop had been approved and cleaned up I would duplicate the item and place a scaled down version next to one of the characters that way when the prop was sent to the studio the animators would know approximately how large the prop was in relation to the character.
Which were the most fun? Props or backgrounds? Both were fun. Fortunately my training on South Park made me more of a jack of all trades, but if I had to pick three. . . Topaz's battle axe, the potion bottle that looks like a baby bottle and the Game Coding for Noob's book. It may be outdated, but any time I can put noob on something it makes me laugh. Which was the least fun? Believe it or not I had to repurpose an old prop of a notepad and pencil but the notepad needed to have game coding notes on it. At first it was real coding but legal was concerned that the code might be copy written. So I went back and threw some basic HTML coding in with the game coding and legal was STILL concerned! It went back and forth between the Director and myself and the Legal department over 5 times. In the end, the coding looks like nothing but gibberish, which is kinda sad, because we were trying to do a little easter egg for game designers by hiding stuff. Oh, and did I mention that also, in the end, it was only on the page for 0.5 seconds and so tiny that you couldn't see ANY of the writing? But I sincerely don't mind because it's not every day you get to work on a magical, butt-kicking princess show, with weapons, a talking skeleton and a flying unicorn. I totally did it for the Skeleton. ;)
Enjoy!
