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.
