Description Good morning people! Yesterday I told you I wouldn’t see new artwork for me for a while because of a school project.

Well... after a hard day work I thought the concept art for this project (a 20 sec - 1 min animation) looks actually promising enough to show out here. It's going to be an animation about a man with a rather large suitcase who annoys the other people waiting by wanting to stand close. The annoyance stops however, when it starts to rain really hard and the man hold the suitcase up above his head.

Comments, remarks, questions, suggestions, please! All feedback will make the final product that much better.

I like the idea because it's reality.
It's hapenned often to me to carry big stuff by bus.
I remember that at school I used to carry a turntable
and fifty vinyl disqs for the school radio.
But my best was when i have gone jamming with a drummer
carrying a 18 inch speaker, a lamp head amplifier with no box,
and an electric guitar and the driver said to me :
"Is there a party here tonight ?"
And at the back of the bus there two guys with a guitar.
So you have more ideas now !
Nice drawing !
It's look like water color or pastel !
There was an impressive animation here in Canada,
at the Television, with animated water colors.
We were following a bird and everything was changing,
the trees, the clouds, the river, and the colors of it's wings.

hehe i love this picture
i love all those people.. how u drew them, and their posititions
and how they are in shadow..
colors for sky is so happyful and nice..
i really look forward for the animation.. maybe you can paste url to it here? i would be really glad. cause im practicing animation myself also, how many fps do u use, around 12? and what programs? i draw in photoshop on different layers then i put all pictures (in bmp) togehter in a program called bmp2avi.. then i put all avi into adobe premiere.. but with that way i cant do cutouts to make those slidings, which is a bit bad. I really want to get into a animation school. im gonna try this year.

That's such a cute idea for a story! I feel bad for all the art students in my city who have to carry their portfolios on the bus - people don't seem to understand that art is _fragile_ > Anyway, did you see the short bird animation? I can't remember which movie it was played before... Um... it's about a bunch of cute little birds sitting on a power line, and one 'stupid/fat' bird who wants to join in. The others try everything they can to knock him off the wire, but they end up falling off in the end. In any case, that's how I imagined the people reacting to him after I read your description. It'll be interesting to see once you've finished. Good luck!

Hehe. I like the story for it, first of all - the "rather large suitcase" is funny, and something that I've never really seen before. (So kudos for uniqueness and creativity and stuff! ) Also like all of your people there...their poses are so interesting and detailed, none of them are really the same and it's so realistic - like the guy holding the bag between his ankles (which I've done lots of times myself with my binder). It's detailed too, with the old woman's scarf and the girl's padded jacket...and for some reason I really like the road-sign too. X3 Wonderful simple background and expressions for the people and the suitcase-guy too. Yay!

Heh. You need to show the animation when you're finished with it. ^^ *entirely ignorant over whether or not this is actually possible*

I think it's a great idea, but you need to work on the briefcase. The way it is now it looks more like a portfolio for large drawings. The sky is once again lovely, that seems to be your specialty. The busstop and the people are really nicely done, very real-life like! can't wait to see the result!

That's the briefcase? I thought it was a wall at first. And the man looks so tall, himself!

dA is not showing any preview images today, for some reason. Check the deviant Status forum.

Back to this piece. THe story looks very amusing, light and entertaining. If the finished product will look like this piece, then I'd veyr much like to see it. This image is very funny in itself. You have the people standing there, some of them not noticing, and then some looking in wonder at that tall... lanky young man with... a HUGE SUITCASE, what on earth?! grmph.

20 sec- 1 min. shouldn't be too long, maybe you can upload a compressed video somewhere on the web for us to check out?

ah i love how the people waiting for the bus look so wonderfully normal! The guy holding the suitcase looks huge though compared to the other people! And i think the suitcase could be more detailed. It looks just like a big black square now.. But you did say this is just the concept. It was just a few things i noticed
Sounds like a really nice concept for an animation!
