- The 'Cute Monster' T-Shirt Contest Results
Well, my T-shirt design contest entry didn’t win or make it into the finalists but I know some people were wanting the shirt anyhow so it’s up on my store (it just lacks the stripes now). It’s also a sticker if you guys are into sticker stuff, you know.

Sticker: http://www.redbubble.com/people/lawlzy/works/8712614-the-three-monsterteers
Thanks for anyone who voted for it anyhow, it was fun participating!
An egyptian vulture. Practiced the pen tool with this one, I think I’ve got the hang of it now!
Just a blue bird character I had in mind. His spine can be pulled out more at each end to extend his neck or tail. I imagined it like a toy chain if that makes sense!
Reminiscing today, this is probably from 10 or so years ago. Still drawing pokemon today! Like it says, “long live the classics!”
So sometimes I do logos and graphic design stuff. This one was hand drawn though so I thought I’d share. This one’s for my buddy’s musical endeavors, check him out here: http://soundcloud.com/autumn-nights
Character based on a life drawing for a class assignment. If you wanna check out my life drawings, I posted a bunch on my animation blog.
MURDER CHEF: the movie. Character based on a life drawing for a class assignment. If you wanna check out my life drawings, I posted a bunch on my animation blog.
My attempt at cute-ifying an anglerfish, the fish I wouldn’t want to bump into in the deep end of the pool.
RE: the wip I posted before, here’s the final! It’ll be a poster for Anime North.
I’ve also gotten requests for this as a T-shirt so VOILA!
Hey guys! A vote for my t-shirt design would be super appreciated <3 Just click “I’d wear this!” to vote: http://lawlzy.deviantart.com/art/The-Three-Monsterteers-286013608
Any reblogs would help as well even if you don’t vote :)
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

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. - Jan 17, 12
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.
- Jan 17, 12
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. :]
Took some cool pictures during our lighting workshop as well. Lots of fun! - Jan 15, 12

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! - Sep 14, 11
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 Also here's an inspirational sketch for a story idea I have. Assuming it doesn't get used for a group film project, I may tweak it myself and use it. I can't explain what it's about but I hope you enjoy this sketch ;)G'NIGHT~ - Jun 02, 11
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.
Here are some highlights from my TV storyboards featuring the same Egyptian characters.
For my final character design assignment I used my Egyptian pharaoh character, Ananu in a 6 drawing sequence of discovery!
And lastly, an opening shot pan for Layout that was painted in Photoshop, again with the pen tool. I've come to enjoy using that!
That's it for year 2! Year 3 awaits in September! In the meantime, I'm preparing some portfolio pieces. Stay tuned! - Apr 16, 11
...if you don't have a dick?
Sound clip is from Donnie Darko. Done entirely in Flash. I didn't get a chance to finish cleanup on this, although I'd like to. I'd also like to fix the whole animation up a lot, I'm not that satisfied with it.
Crits welcome.
Also, the youtube thumbnail looks weird :S hmmm - Mar 12, 11
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. Critiques welcome! - Jan 17, 12
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 Also happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I drew something for my sweetheart :)Have a good one! - Jan 17, 12
These are sketches for an art project that's been ongoing since December. I plan to make a bestiary art book of every enemy, animal buddy and boss from the 3 Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES. I decided to do this simply because I'm a huge fan of the games. The book will be in full color and contain all art by myself. As well as offered for free download when complete (donations accepted/appreciated), I'd like to print physical copies too. Please share with all the DKC fans! :) - Jan 22, 11
- Jan 17, 12Gonna dump some digital artwork I've done lately:
"Promise" "You'll Be In My Heart" "First Snow" "Winter Together" "The Yellow Wallpaper" for World. Lit class "Eggstasy" "Craze" All these posted on my Deviantart account: lawlzy.deviantart.com

Last animation assignment of the semester, the expression change. I didn't do much actual animation for this, instead I drew a lot of expressions. I'm sure you can tell this was the last assignment too!
Happy holidays~ DRINK, EAT AND BE MERRY (and sleep a lot) - Dec 18, 10
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.Layout workbook for a storyboard panel Colored the beat boards A quick watercolor job on my Layout
I enjoyed working on this story project and I'd like to do an animation with it sometime... who knows? - Dec 04, 10
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.
SO, here's my lovely man Clive looking proud of himself, very angry, guilty and exhausted.
ALSO, I drew my friend Ashley for the female sheet. I don't think I captured her quite as well as Clive but *shrug* I just had to FACE the fact.... (I'm not sorry.) - Nov 29, 10
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.
- Jan 17, 12
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's Jon the businessman...
...and Baz the chav here.
I hope the drawings speak for themselves of what kind of characters these are! :P The animation of them, which I should be posting next week, will be Baz walking and Jon running into him from behind, late for work. Baz will probably flip him one at least. - Jan 17, 12
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!
Also below is a study of a mouse deer skeleton. I couldn't find good references for the muscles so they're not very accurate.
I have other life drawings lying around but they're quite large and for me to scan them would be *yawn*.... too much. |3 Zzzzzzz (it's 12:38 and I'm tired) - Jan 17, 12
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~
Final painting was done rather quickly considering my usual painting speed... about 3.5 hours. Done in watercolor.
ONWARDS~ - Oct 23, 11
