Black-Crystal's News

Posted by Black-Crystal - April 24th, 2016


Do you need help with your Animated Projects?

Currently I am open for freelance work. I am a 3d artist and most of my works are 3d cel shading style which can be implemented into your 2d or 3d animation movies.

My online portfolio

If you need simple objects in your animatons such as:

  • Background environments (buildings, grassy field)
  • Background characters/ Main characters (humans, monsters)
  • Some character animations

I am willing to fit into your budget and take any cost.

Feel free to PM me or contact me through "choo5d@yahoo.com.sg"

3D animated scene from 2016

 

I am remaking episode 1 and 2. Replacing some of the scenes with 3d but I am not able to replace all it so you will see some mixture of 2d animation and 3d animation.

I wrote a more detailed post on the transition on my blog.

I am also frequently updating my Blog with posts that are according to my niche of 3d animations, 3d technology & CG entertainment and also Hellami project updates. Some of them will be helpful to creators that are making their own animations or just starting out.

 

HELLAMI UPDATE

This month is especially busy for me and somehow confusing because there's too much things I want to do. But I always remind myself that I can only do one thing now.

This month, I had been searching for voice actors/actresses for the characters and some methods proved better than the other which I will be sharing more on my blog some time soon. Today, most of my charactes' roles are pretty much filled up, I am pretty grateful to the VA for accepting the roles.

 

Hellami Next Event

The next Hellami event will be coming up soon! You can check out the previous events here.

More about the next event, It is a opporunity that allows you to appear in the world of Hellami Animated Series...Hope that will sounds interesting :)

Months ago, I approached a talented composer on newgrounds to do a collaboration and he agreed straight away. The song is the theme song of Hellami Series titled as 'The Hold'.

The composer is Bad Man Incorporated. He composed this amazing song for Hellami which also featured Newgrounds' own VGSongbird, who did the fantastic female vocals.

Sharing on how I got started in animation.I started my first animation with flash animation back in 2005. At that time, I was not very interested in studying and somehow I stumbled upon Newgrounds.com. Then somehow again.. I am inspired to make animation.

I created my first complete animation titled 'Seven'. It is a simple action short but I am happy with it.

The Seven flash movie..


In later years, I accidentally watched a 3d CGI cutscene from a game that catches my attention. That 3d movie is a opening cutscene from Final Fantasy X-2. Afterwards I bought a PlayStation and the FF games. Played all of it throughout my holidays and I fell in love with Final fantasy because of  the story & the characters.

Final Fantasy is really the one that got me interested in 3d and seeing how a 'game movie' can make me feels. That's what I am trying to bring into my movies, to make a animation/film that makes people feel.

So if you're a artist or a animator, what inspired you to be what you are? Let's share!
