DFA Drama

Hey all! This is my final project for DFA. It was a ton of fun! Wooot!

Push Pull Unnatural

Heh, I've decided to call this Push Pull Unnatural instead of its proper name... Now for the exaggerated version.

More DFA Work

Life keeps going by faster and faster... Here are my recent projects in Drawing for Animators. We had a make a caricature of ourselves that we are going to animate next semester, so be looking for that! The next project was to take one or more of the characters we developed earlier on in the year and do a value painting of them in a story situation. The next project we get to work with color again so... WOOOHOOO!

First Animations of Junior Year

DFA Characters

How are things internet? It's been a while.

Sorry for the gap in postings. You know how it is... Things get busy. Anyway, I wanted to post my stuff from DFA. These are characters developed from different methods. It was a lot of fun doing this. I've only managed to color one of them but I might color more in the future. I also want to get my stuff from CDA up as soon as I can.

- In other news, I get to host a demo at Digital Painting & Sketch Club this week!! Wish me luck!

Mr. Hyde

I don't normally make smaller posts like this but I felt like updating my blog. I had an idea for the up coming Push Pull Assignment involving Dr. Jeckyll aka Mr. Hyde. This is me just playing around with a possible design...

Environments

Well, I promised a few people I'd post my CDA work. So I did. These are most of the quick environments I've had to do for my Environment design class. I'll post the stuff from my other classes as soon as I get a chance. This is ordered from recent to oldest.

Turtles

Just messing around with shapes...

Layout

I needed some more perspective examples for my portfolio for Concept Design Academy so I did a quick layout. This is inspired by an idea from concept last semester involving a botanist.

Four Days, Four Characters

I guess an update is in order. Second year at Ringling is over! I can't believe my peers and I are all going to be juniors come fall! Soon we will be working on our thesis's (thesi?) heh. Anyway, after spending a long time and a lot of worrying about what I'm going to do this summer it turns out I'll be going to Concept Design Academy for a ten week training program in character design, environment design, and another class in props and environments. I really do enjoy the pre-production side of animation so this will be a good chance for me to learn and improve my skills in design. I'm really excited for this opportunity!

In related news I have to put together a portfolio for two of my classes. The first step for me was to do four semi-realistic character designs. It was a good change of pace doing more realistic characters then I normally do. I do miss the opportunity to exaggerate proportions however. Here are my characters for portfolio.

Paintings

A few digital paintings I've done recently. The top one is from D.P.S.C. with a few additions to make it more presentable for possible portfolio. The bottom one is just a quick sketch from a while back.

Final Animatic Concept 1

This is my final Animatic plus all the design work and layout I did for the project. I want to do more exploring on my next projects.
