Christmas "Card"

Long overdue to update this --- I have a huge sketch dump coming from this past semester, but really quickly I wanted to post a link to a solo project. I did this little Christmas "Card" after the semester ended to work on layout, composition, color, and what little I know about flash. Couldn't get it to embed in Blogger properly, so here is the link to the file at Newgrounds. Music provided by Kevin MacLeod.

Overdue Post of sketches and what not

Pizza Cruise

I talked with my mom today and she mentioned that some of the ladies at work were taking her out on a pizza cruise for her birthday!

Pizza cruises sound yummy!  Just don't eat the boat!

Quick little thing before bed

Quick little thing I did before heading off to sleep --- need to do more and more of these "little things"

I really want to get to the botanical gardens and do some nature studies to help flesh out more of my temple layout ideas.  I want to play with the overgrowth quite a bit!

Snorlax Value and Color

Noodled around with the Snorlax piece a bit more tonight.

Value

Color

Long Overdue

Here's a personal project I started today - some line art that will hopefully turn into a series of lazy Snorlax

Will start posting more stuff soon...I hope....

Then a bear happened.

It's been a while since I posted anything --- I promise I have stuff to post, I'm just lazy about getting it up here. >.<

This guy came out of some doodle practices, working in the grad lab at practice.  I forgot my USB at home today so I decided to do some Preston Blair studies from his book.  Then I started working the shape concepts into some new design ideas for my main character for my thesis.

Then a bear happened.

So I decided to try and paint him in Photoshop because I never really paint.  Tossed in some rim lighting, and critiques/links to tutorials are very much welcome!

Took a break from other work to make an attempt at digital painting.

Had a bag of goldfish, so decided to try and paint the character on the bag.  Starting small.

Big Post - Gesture, Value, Talarom, and Exploratory Drawings

Some gestures from Monday night's workshop

Then some 5 minute gestures that were part of my own studying.  I started to move into value slightly.  I realize I need to position my subject on my paper better as I end up cutting off the feet.  Really need to work on centering.

Then some new studies for Talarm:  Thrones and Horns!

And lastly, some exploratory thumbs from my latest storyboarding assignment - a Red Lobster Commercial. Posted in no particular order.

Old Animation Post

My final project for animation 1 last year.  I never got around to posting it up on anything, so I decided to do so today.

More roughs from Talarom - very initial concept designs - will get better scans eventually, just wanted to post what I did today.

Future post coming with some gestures from the workshop when I'm not so tired.

Drawing on Easter

Continuing to be hard at work, I did a color study of on of Amras's head drawings.  Also did a few more studies, using Glenn Keane's Flynn Ryder for reference.  Then there are some initial roughs for environment/layouts.  Also a random sketch and a study of Rapunzel from Tangled.
