Tumble with me!

I made a tumblr! A place you can get the same annoying updates from me :D And maybe even more, I feel like I can be quick and dirty there so that thing may get more daily quick and dirty sketches. We'll see. Anyone else excited for the new year?

The Conjuring

My final drama assignment from DFA! I did this sketchbook doodle of a little voodoo priestess last year, and when this assignment came up I decided to bring her in

Rough sketches of her (that first doodle of her on the left)

First rough thumbnail:

A slightly more refined rough thumbnail:

The final:

Close ups:

WINTER BREAK TIME. Stay tuned, art done for pure fun coming soon :)

VALUEable stuff

Valuable. Our teachers are so punny

Here's my values assignment from the ol' drawin for animators class

Bastards n' Ballerinas

Some movie color studies I did this past summer and last summer, proudly done without color pickin

Black Swan:

Inglorious Basterds:

Story Story Story, and Summer Sketchin

Warm up animatics from my concept development class (with the original storytelling image for good measure) I'm not clever enough to think of titles for these so, please excuse the boring titles I just took from the assignment name.

The Door

A to B

The Witness

Also, a summer's worth of cafe sketchin:

Junior Jump Start: Silhouettes

Hello there! Junior year is in full swing and has been crazy busy, but quite enjoyable. Here's the first assignments from Drawing for Animator's (characters from silhouettes and scribbles and shapes)

And Computer Animation (silhouette assignment from three random adjectives.)

More from this year (and this past summer, my bad) coming soon! Real soon! Like tomorrow or within the next few days! Stay tuned!

Sophomore: Part ii

Semester Two! The goods again:

Computer Animation
Animation quadfecta: given a rig and animate away. I couldn't find all 4 exercises of the the quadfecta unfortunately so 2 out of 4 will have to do.

Finger point:

Walk Cycle:

Next assignments focused on lighting, texturing and compositing.
We lit and textured a cemetery

And finally, a bunch of assets to arrange how we would to create a still life:

Concept Development

Assignment 1: An animatic based on a nursery rhyme/fairy tale. This one is Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Goat"

Assignment 2: Animatic with a montage. Tried telling a story not in the comedy genre.

Final: Anything we wanted. This assignment drove me nuts, too much creative freedom. But it worked out in the end, and I really have my teacher to thank for helping me throughout while maintaining the tone I wanted for this

And finally, a little animation I did for my cultural anthropology class. We had to choose an art form from a specific culture and do a presentation on it. I chose Thai shadow puppetry, and for the art part of the project, made a very very short shadow puppet show.
