Soul Sister

Hey guys!

I have been working on a lot of downloadable 2d templates for animators recently. Some of you are now familiar with my e-shop Totally2d Mastershop where Crazytalk Animator users can download some templates. Even if you're not a 2d animator/ Crazytalk user feel free to check out the e-shop and just see what Totally2d has to offer.

As of now I'm keen to launch a new set of character designs for different softwarecompanies. I'm designing a few new works like Soul Sister below:








 The style you see in my Soul Sister above can be found through out my animations i.e Salad chick, Mbira Dzakondo and future projects still pending. It's becoming my own unique trade mark style, now it's going to be available for sale.


Have a splendid day!

I have finally designed the War Angel super hero character. Those of you who have been following my progress know that it's part of a collection of Animation Props, and templates that I've been designing this year.

Totally2d Mastershop is the name of the e-shop I'm now running, and though it's still in the its beginnings I'm confident the store will grow and currently has  seventy animation templates on sale today (Friday March 16 2012). It's amazing to me, to be able to offer my services to other Crazytalk Animators. Those of you who are into animation and use other products like Toon Boom must check out:

Crazytalk Animator templates

Hey.. I've been working on some new stuff since the year begun! I've opened a store on Reallusion's website where Crazytalk Animator users can purchase my content packs and background designs! The store also has a few freebies to try out if you're intrested

 http://city.reallusion.com/store/Totally2d

One of the first content packs I put in my Store was a theme pack I call War Angel 1st Edition. It includes the gun above, the helmet below, and other military weapons like a Jet fighter etc.

The other content pack I made was these buildings below. Each of the buildings can be purchased in my online store along with other stuff

For those that need car props for your high speed chases and action scenes, I've also created the model below which can be used in Crazytalk Animator v1.2. Just Download it from my store and let the drive begin.

After I finished War Angel 1st Edition, i recently went on to create War Angel 2nd Edition which has swords, and other sharp instruments of death. Great props for a battle scene. As you can see my store intends to provide a wide selection of content for Crazytalk Animator users. Visit my store and just browse through the items there

African sun (templates for 2d animators)

  Hey!



I hope you're having a wonderful day. I’m currently working on a Crazytalk Animator Backgrounds collection of 2d animation templates called “African sun”. The first edition is finished and I’ve attached some of the promotional images below.

The backgrounds will be soon available on the Reallusion Market place, once my store is running I’ll post up the linkJ. Like I said before the African sun has 8 backgrounds. I’m working on more Crazytalk Animator content that you’ll be able to use alongside with these backgrounds.

As of now the backgrounds will be able to be used royalty free once you purchase them on the upcoming store. I hope to fill the market with alien templates, city, villages and other vast templates.

I have great plans for the African sun collection. I pray to God things keep coming together.

Hot Stuff : Episode 01

I'm really enjoying the production of Hot stuff mini skits. Above you'll find the first episode, and I'm done with the next script for it. My 3rd episode will feature something from the 2011 Rugby World Cup! However I still have to do the 2nd episode before we get into that! Cisca De Villiers even helped me co-direct a scene from episode 3 which will be spoken in her first language; Afrikaans.

Usually I upload a "Friday drawing" but I thought this would be so much more fun, hope you enjoyed the episode!

Hot Stuff: SEASON-ing 1

Thank you for barring with me, and visiting my blog. Totally2d.org is currently down but my Engineer is working on that (its tough for small websites like mine but he really does a great job) please be patient with us, and than you for all you support.

Now for some GOOD NEWS...

As an independent animator, you may realize that I have the room to make quick decisions on what to animate. What works, and what doesn't. This requires keeping your ear on the ground on whats happening in the industry. The above image is an extract from my new Work-in-Progress titled Hot Stuff: SEASON-ing 1.

Previously I mentioned a 2d animation software called Crazy Talk animator. Now that I have it, I plan to show the world how powerful it is. Watch my sample animation here, its just a test of how to animate in Hot Stuff: SEASON-ing 1. I'm SO EXCITED about this! Thank you Reallusion for all your invaluable support.




Cheers!

Crazy Talk Animator

So far I've been fighting several obstacles in the production of my animation mini series "Hooked Alive". Alas, I seem to have made some progress. Less than 15 days ago I stumbled upon Crazy Talk animator. Its a 2d animation software that you can try out for yourself, and from what I'm seeing its good features I could have only dreamt about!

 I recommend any aspiring animators to Download Crazy Talk Animator trial now, and try it out. You might surprise yourself, soon my website will have some Crazy Talk Animator templates for you to try out including the one above; Martin, from my Hooked Alive cast. So now I have the script written out, and all the characters designed I just need to add the full version of Crazy Talk Animator.

Crazy Talk Animator has a function where you could just import an image (as shown above) and use that one image to start animating! You'll be impressed, I know I was. There also have several step by step Youtube videos on how their software package works watch it now!

I'm an animator, and I love it! However somedays you really struggle to push your productions, most days its hard, and during those rainy days. Can your software give you the tools that are effective, and powerful enough  for you to pull through the millions of frames needed? Visit my website http://www.totally2d.org/ and see the full range of animation softwares that I trust and use! Crazy talk Animator is a product you might also want to try out, my favourite feature is the Body pupperteering where you animate by moving your mouse!

Their product has a wide a range of feature PLUS you tube videos, to make your life easier. Enjoy the accesories panel, and facial animation tools. This would be brilliant to use in my future productions!

Enjoy your day! Wish me luck, as a continue progressing in all my art, photography, and animation projects :) CHEERS!
