Senior Film Production

Sorry for the lack of updates! Got to get around to posting on this thing more often....

Anyway, my senior film, tentatively titled Showdown, now has a Blogspot as well. It's also in need of updating. Will get to that once I catch a break!

Check it out here!

Cats, Bats, and Robawts

Whew, I need to update this more often!

Some Cat in Space concept art for 2D production:







Some concept work for Mechanima:





And a bit of fanart:




Next post I should have a new animated short to share. :) Thanks for watching!

Beast

Hah this is the animatic from spring that gave me so much trouble!



It's very rough but sorta gets its point across, regardless of the cheesiness. Alex's design is being revamped again though, I was kind of iffy on the dark curly hair and I'm not too sure I like it. Might swap the hat for a pair of goggles too, and maybe a helmet of sorts. Rafe hasn't changed much, he's really stayed pretty consistent since...forever.

Inks

Ink wash drawings:

Anya

Short cutout animation for SCAD Principles of Screen Design.



Each background and puppet was hand-painted and assembled, then shot at 24 frames per second at a shooting station like this one:



Excited to do more stop motion!

Cameraless Film

This was made through scratching, drawing, painting, and otherwise scribbling all over some black and clear leader, then taking the clips and timed them to music.

Animation I

Also for reference, getting these old animations posted too! Never did upload my final...should get to that sometime.

Drawing from life

Just for reference, decided to add old artwork from Drawing I and Life Drawing I, from back in 2006-ish! Of course, now with Drawing II at SCAD, I will be able to update with more later.

Horror and Hands

I've been doing hand sketches on various paper lately, figured I'd post a few of them. I've found I really like working on toned paper, especially when it's a middle tone that I can add both darks and lights to!




I was also in a Paranoia Agent mood, and really craving some creepy art, so have a little Slugger today. :)

Commissions

Quickie color sketches done for people!

Scribble Post Returns

Sketches & Photoshop

The advantage to being a machine is you can survive things like this:



Rafe is rather displeased about losing the lower half of his body though. Does tend to make getting around more difficult.

Paranoia Agent animal doodles:



I had been meaning to draw Ikari boar and Maniwa horse for a long time. Maniwa looks very...awkward but I do like how Ikari came out, and Ichi fish is somewhat terrifying.

Alicia and Darkrai with lazy background time!



Besides the completely epic Godzilla-esque battles in Movie 10, I really loved the short glimpses into Darkrai's past. I am such a sap for character relationships like the one between these two, sort of like Boo and Sully in Monsters Inc., or Mei and Totoro in My Neighbor Totoro. They're enough to get an "aww" out of just about anyone!

Mayasaurus animations

Some animations done with the dino rig provided by SCAD, for Animation II class.

I have found that thus far, Maya is my biggest challenge in animation. I need to work on further understanding the graph editor to improve the "sticking" and "jitters" throughout these videos. I'll keep putting forth my best effort in my next Maya course with the aim to improve much more in it.

It's scribble time!

Pokeymans!
