War Within How to Animate demo

Ever wonder how I'm able to take a comic book and make it into a cartoon? Wonder no longer--this video should answer those questions.

Remember, if you like the War Within comics, support the industry by buying the comics, currently owned by IDW.

This is agonizing to watch! :P

I hate doing "repair" work in Photoshop, and would never have had the patience to this. Props!

Someone else who commented mentioned the new "Content Aware" feature in CS5 - you might be familiar with it (there's a few demos of it on Youtube) If only that feature had been available when you were working on this series - it probably would've cut down your workload by 75%.

@urizen123 I'm "playing" with the new Photoshop now--I actually find the puppet warp feature, so far, to be the most helpful

WOW , this series should've been an animated series a long time ago , but your style will do !!! AWESOME BTS !!!

@anderson1939 Thanks. Glad you liked it :-)

@meiu09 Sorry for the late reply; I no longer have access to the Pepsimus account, so I only check the vids every so often. After making the frames, I put it all together using Sony Vegas. That program takes all the frames and turns it into a video file.

[meiu09]

ok one question,what software do you use to put it all together, you know the clips?

[meiu09]

put the series in cartoon network!!!! ok just a joke, but that would be cool!

@torkair72torino I've currently been hired to do some animation for a comic book that hasn't been released, but if you like the art style of War Within, you should like what I'm working on now, since I'm animating for the same artist! :-) Once I finish that, I'll return back to War Within

So... When are you doing episode 3?

[Shockerbomb]

i want to do a voice on this i can do a good soundwave voice

[Vampir5]

wow... that was really cool... I didn't even know you can do all that with Photoshop...

[PepsimusP]

@jon3pnt0 yeah, it was. Wonder who that masked man was anyways... :-)
