I decided to update a 5-year old pic! This is a fictional band I made up when I was 14 or 15 called ‘Volvulus.’ This is the old version: http://i.imgur.com/eApzM.jpg
Album art I was commissioned to do for an upcoming mix from Allkore featuring hardcore remixes of Ghibli movie tunes! This was super fun to do. :)

Final assignment for 3D Animation, a character acting and lip synced to a voice clip. I just used one of the sample clips, from Dumb & Dumber and the rig is Koko. I didn't mess with the ears or tail on this rig, I have no idea how they work. :x
Animated in Maya.
Two more Stop Motion asssignments I haven't uploaded yet: the walk and the club smash. Clay animals were harmed in the making of the club smash.
So here's the fruits of my labor of first semester. Leica including layout pan 6 seconds of animation. Doing this lineless style saved me so much time and I love how it looks!
Here's some stop motion stuff I've been doing. I've dabbled in stop motion a bit when I was younger, despite it scaring the hell out of me as a kid haha. I'll be having more and more fun with this as the year progresses for sure. :]
So begins work on the Action Analysis assignment! This is a 30 second story and in final it will have a few seconds of complete animation as well as a finished layout/painting.
This is a rough pass story reel with scratch track (from Paper Mario!), sfx and dialogue.
Stay tuned for updates on the AA!
The summer always seems to disappear when you don't want it to, huh? Glad to be back in the groove though, we got 3rd year Animation rolling in now and I'm pretty damn excited. :] Goals this year include draw a LOT more than I have been and do more sketching... so I got started! Here's some various stuff.
| I love cats so much, but damn I need to draw them better/more. |
| some profs here |
| Backwards Cat cameo! or...caMEOW |
| I'm happy with how the chimera critter came out here |
| DINOSAURS |
| dinosaurs and durrs |
Preparing for my Anime North table last month left little time to post some of my final work from this year, so here it is now.
For my final character design assignment I used my Egyptian pharaoh character, Ananu in a 6 drawing sequence of discovery!
...if you don't have a dick?
We had to come up with 4 time-period themed characters that will roll over for storyboard and layout assignments. I love ancient Egypt so I had to choose it, even though I figured everyone would choose it (doesn't seem like they have though!)
| I designed this guy based on pictures of Egyptian crocodile statues I found |
| I read during my research of ancient Egypt that the higher status you were, the more transparent your clothes are. I made Kanila's dress transparent for this reason, also to give her some sexy OOMPH. |
| This guy turned out to be my favorite, based on Anubis, the god of death obviously. |
| Bidi is an ibis, which I found out were revered birds in Egypt because of their connection with the ibis headed god of scripture Thoth. |
Oops! I haven't posted my character designs for the muzzle and beak animation yet. Consider that fixed now. I did a 'New Guinea' theme with a cassowary and sugar glider character.
| I swear the wattles actually look like that... |
| classy lady |
| "Promise" |
| "You'll Be In My Heart" |
| "First Snow" |
| "Winter Together" |
| "The Yellow Wallpaper" for World. Lit class |
| "Eggstasy" |
| "Craze" |
Taking the beatboards from a previous blog post, they have been built upon and edited and compiled into the leica you see here.
They were also the basis for Layout, Painting and Sound Design assignments.

| Colored the beat boards |
| A quick watercolor job on my Layout |
This is my expression change assignment, which consists of 4 expressions for a male and female character based on IRL people we've drawn as caricatures.
As a followup to my last blog post, here's my walk & run animation with Baz (walking) and Jon (running) from my Character Design assignment. This was THE HUGEST PAIN to get to work in Flipbook. I might give this a rework sometime since there wasn't a lot of time to get this done, but I did what I could with the time I had.
Contrasting characters for a Character Design assignment, designed for the walk & run animation. I decided to spruce up the sheets I did of them both digitally. There's things in both sheets I'd definitely fix if I did another pass over them both, like strengthening expressions and consistency.
Here are some animal drawings, all done obnoxiously lightly in col-erase (which is why I had to take photos of most of them for them to show up, hence the hodgepodged collections). Next time I'll draw darker!
Our second painting assignment of the year was an interior so I took the layout I did for Layout and painted that.
Another Zelda-themed painting because I was listening to the Link To The Past soundtrack and wanted to draw a similar scene like in Link's house around waking up in the night to find a letter... the theme was ANXIETY. What does the letter say? OOoooOOOooo~
I'm going to need at least 30 caricatures for Character Design class by the end of the semester. Good, because I need a lot of practice with it. Here's 3 of my friends I tested my skills on:
