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.

Thanksgiving Sketches

Thanksgiving break is wrapping up but I had a great chance to enjoy the holiday with some good friends. Its always nice to let things slow down and be able to appreciate life. I'm having fun trying different things out with my sketching...

Spare Moments

Sketches I've done in those rare spare moments.
