Quillustration World

SInce I discovered Quill a few months ago, even if I'm not an animator, the creation possibilities are so fantastic that I have to try to make some living paintings from time to times.

Here are some of them, the lightest ones are availlable for my contacts in Quill Theater, for other people or for the heaviest scenes, I try to show a glimpse of the work on videos like this.

Hope you'll enjoy.

This is my biggest Quill scene, even if it only shows Bruce Lee in it's splendor. The main idea was to recreate the Dragon movie poster.

I tried to make Bruce as realistic as I can, and it was a lot of brush strokes for the software. So the main idea to have Bruce throwing a high kick to the camera was just impossible for my computer, even the idle movement was a pain to achieve as the software become really laggy. Hundred of strokes to move wasn't a so good idea.

But the final render was really rewarding, the animbrush on the sun and colors works fine, and for the final cut, as it was made for the last Inktober, I tried to play with black & white and colors.

Bruce recreation took at least 10 hours of virtual painting to be as accurate as I can.

This Little Windmills scene was my second take on Quill software and was made in three hours or so.

It's actually a tribute to one of my friends painting and music, Niels Prayer. You can see the original painting just below.

This piece was so fun to make, finding ways to recreate the original shapes and colors, cheat with the animbrush to make brush strokes act like leaves, birds, butterflies and fireflies.
Also put Niels music directly into the scene, as in VR you could ear it close to the windmills.

Quillustration made for whishing a great year to all of my networks, with a bit of poetry.

I tried to keep the stroke count as low as I can, mostly on the character, as I'm not used to. All of it's movements has been captured on the fly with the grab tool. Animbrush for the rest.

Quillustration made for Halloween.

Pushing a lot of techniques on this one, offset animation with transform keys, one shot and loop ones at the same time, made a proper skybox and mist layers, keyframing opacity. The VR version allows you to travel from the gate to the crypt at different spawning points.

Youtube compression doesn't serve well the overall render but the mood and music inside make the scene pretty fun to dive in. Great time in Facebook Space when it was possible to jump in with four people.

The last one is also my first one.

I was always thinking about this not so known issue with cactuses. They sweat, as everyone, and no one cares.

It was clearly a test bed, as I basicaly discovered the tools and workflow.

2 hours working time.
