<span style="font-size: large;">This is my very 1st animation that I created based on a couple videos, one being of Kyrie Irving challenging Kobe Bryant, and the second of Uncle Drew playing pick up basketball as a Pepsi commercial. I do warn, if you have not viewed these two videos 1st, you will not understand 90% of the plays I take or the information being presented. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This animation was started on August 11, 2012 ending on October 18, 2012, a project I initially started to: (1) get some animating experience under my belt by finally "JUST DOING IT" and (2) gain some exposure, which hopefully will lead to opportunities in the professional ranks. My 1st upload was to a site you may have heard of called YOUTUBE (</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vyW89Vt-EU"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vyW89Vt-EU</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">), and the 2nd was to a site by the name of World Star Hip Hop (</span><a href="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhGy9xkDk7iFv40rkL"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhGy9xkDk7iFv40rkL</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">) where I received over 100k views in 1 day. THANX WSHH!! Now the video has taken off on several other sites and blogs.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I believe I can honestly say that both of my goals were accomplished, plus I received additional information and feedback from this entire process. I'm learning more about trends, what makes something go viral, seo, links, and so much more helpful information that can only add to the success of future projects.</span></div>

I have learned alot over the past few months about different styles and techniques used by various artists to pull off a flawless masterpiece. I recently started using the vector pen tool about a month ago and have grown to love it. </span></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Below is my very first video tutorial I've created along with my very own original music, which is also my first track. I'm proud of both of these projects and hope this is a beginning of many tutorials.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">AHA! This gives me 10 "semi-practice" projects that will help me improve my craft. It also creates excitement on the web by seeing some of the most talented athletes in our country today, VECTOR STYLE!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first person I wanted to vectorize was Kyrie Irving, the newly drafted point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, (if you didn't already know...). Why KI? Simply put, I've been involved in the game of basketball my entire life, in fact, I've been playing the game my entire life. It's who I am and what I once pursued with a fiery passion. Besides Kyrie has the potential to be one of the best point guards in the game, (as if the NBA need any more fantastic pg's). The League is full of amazing talent at the one position and Kyrie will definitely make his impact as the game has evolved into a "guards" era! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is the first vectorization of this exciting new project.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mv5dyXUU1Ow/TsXySBpB6wI/AAAAAAAAAGo/0d6RLpjKO6c/s1600/KIvector.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mv5dyXUU1Ow/TsXySBpB6wI/AAAAAAAAAGo/0d6RLpjKO6c/s1600/KIvector.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the most part, I think it turned out well. I place the red values in the background to compliment the green jersey which gave it a nice "BOOM" effect. Now I guess it's time to start on the next composition, but I'm not sure who it should be yet.. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">should I look at the NFL's top prospects, </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">or maybe the MLB.. the hero of the 2011 World Series...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">ummmm...Decisions, Decisions! </span>Darryl Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01946555674305078221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319794971495380.post-81022629580195278632011-11-11T15:47:00.000-08:002011-11-11T15:47:23.891-08:0011.11.11<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ik4eKdn194A/Tr2xXjef0bI/AAAAAAAAAEo/WfSho_RpNTc/s1600/HOPEforWEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ik4eKdn194A/Tr2xXjef0bI/AAAAAAAAAEo/WfSho_RpNTc/s640/HOPEforWEB.jpg" width="507" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"> <span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">11.11.11 Veteran's Day! Hope everyone take a moment to reflect on those who have lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. Is it fair to say that we are fighting a war with no particular enemy?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text"> While countless of our brothers and sisters are being killed, we continue about our everyday lives as if freedom is an obligation that we are owed. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">So I thought to myself, how can I pay tribute to all the soldiers, men and women, who have given their lives for these freedoms that we take for granted. AHA! Why not come up with an inspirational portrait that will symbolize and convey the idea of the harsh realities of warfare. So above you is this attempt at capturing the emotions behind War on Terror!</span></span>Darryl Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01946555674305078221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319794971495380.post-20210218558792497582011-11-08T21:50:00.000-08:002011-11-08T21:50:27.456-08:00BRI<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gRosJrr7sHA/TroPzdhWMuI/AAAAAAAAAEM/M8omlEaSi_E/s1600/briVECTOR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" ida="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gRosJrr7sHA/TroPzdhWMuI/AAAAAAAAAEM/M8omlEaSi_E/s640/briVECTOR.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sitting in my brand new office chair, I thought, "what will be a good piece of work to go in my new portfolio for 2012. AHA! Do a vector portrait of my beautiful wife. Since I'm already practicing this new tool I've discovered (pen tool, go figure!), why not start an entire vector project. I'm thinking something big, but small simultaneously.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite topics is sports, so maybe a nice collection of the top up-and-coming athletes. Whether top 10 or top 5, not sure at the moment, but Lord's willing, it's gonna happen, very soon might I add. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is going to be an exciting journey, just the challenge of bursting onto the creative scene with a bang is exciting enough. I do art! That is the skill God, Himself and Him alone, has given me and by my life, I'm gonna use it for His glory. Whatever benefits He bless me with because of this, if any, is just a plus.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Back to the image above...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vector is a new style I've just discovered only a week ago to this date. Seeing other artists use the selection and pen tools in incredible ways inspired me to play with the pen tool until I got a swing of things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This vector took approximately 5 1/2 hours total, which is a better time than my first vector at nearly 8 (a marathon..!!!). I know, the more I practice and do portraits, the easier it'll get and I'll keep improving my progress and work flow. This journey (of being creative) is getting very interesting!</span>Darryl Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01946555674305078221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319794971495380.post-42226451007358368072011-11-06T22:07:00.000-08:002011-11-06T22:07:56.479-08:00First Vector<div class="caption" style="margin-top: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IpHPnq5s8BE/Trd1Feou7wI/AAAAAAAAADo/DZiJZYEf4c8/s1600/mikeBDAYart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="505" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IpHPnq5s8BE/Trd1Feou7wI/AAAAAAAAADo/DZiJZYEf4c8/s640/mikeBDAYart.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;">This was my very first vector art after being inspired by ASEO and many other great vector artist. As many, when I first attempted to use the pen tool, I couldn’t quite grasp it, therefore, tried to delete it from my toolbox. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;">But after seeing the great potential it had via others vector artwork, my competitive nature arose and I gave it another shot, except this time… the finished product looks alot better than the first attempt. Kudos to vector artists throughout the world.</span></div>Darryl Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01946555674305078221noreply@blogger.com0
