If you saw the video I posted a few days ago, you already know of all
the attempts done on Suicide Friends. This project has been going for
years, and the recent design proved to be (though my favorite) the most
taxing. The traditional animation with Roger Rabbit styled lighting was
taking too much time with just one person working on it. If I
continued, this film wouldn't be done for another 8 years. So I decided
to try a digital Dana again. As the video showed, I did this once and
the result wasn't to my liking. She looked like an alien, but it was
the best I could do at the time. I stopped on the idea of doing a full
CG film until I had more practice. After working on "the Grim" (http://thegrimanimation.blogspot.com/)
I believe I've had a good amount of practice and rebuilt Dana. The
result really pushes the first one aside (I honestly feel weird even
comparing with these images). Someday I'll do a traditionally animated
film, but I'll wait until I have a crew of animators. Until then, I'm
happy with how Dana is coming along.
