Christmas 2010

In one of my classes this past semester I was further introduced to digital work. So for some Christmas gifts this year I decided to do some little paintings and just different digital pieces. They aren't anything outrageous, but they were fun to make! Enjoy!

Figure Part 1

I was fortunate enough to be able to fit a figure class into my schedule this past semester. It has been great to get back into the habit of doing more drawing. I have truly noticed an improvement in my work over these past couple years.

This is a selection of some of my figure work from the first half of the semester. We had to submit a portfolio for the class during midterms and finals, so these are some that were in my midterm portfolio. Enjoy!

REVAMP

It certainly has been a while since I've posted. I finished with my fall semester just last friday and boy was it a relief. I've been wanting to post for a while because I've got a lot to post, but it has just been so busy this semester.

Now for the title of this post...I have decided that I want to revamp my blog. I redid the style of it, the title of it, and I want to post different things. I've found myself only posting my animations, but lately I've been trying to do other things, other art. So from here on out, you'll find me not only posting my animations, but my art as well.

So as my winter break proceeds, I will be posting more of my work, including new work that I've been doing in my spare time. Enjoy and keep checking back in!

Waiting...

Waiting, that's the project. Sounds fun right? It actually was! Our assignment was to animate a person waiting. It could be for someone, for something, for anything as long as they were waiting. I took mine in terms of a chauffeur waiting for someone at the airport. This was the last assignment in the series of little animation projects, now we are on to the big one for the semester...the Push Pull. I will try to keep you updated on how that one is going throughout different points of it, so keep checking in. Enjoy!

Silhouette- It's all about the pose!

Alright, so here is our second computer animation project for the year. It's another quick exercise like the walk cycle and we had about a week and a half to work on it. The basis of the project was that we were each given six words to choose three from. The three that we chose were the foundation of our animation and we had to get across those three emotions through our poses. The three words I chose were: hopeful, confused, and panicked. My story went something like this... Arti (the character) is hopeful that his love will come out from her window to see him, but gets confused when she doesn't end up coming out and finally panics when he hears her dad's voice yelling. Short and sweet, but it gives him some character. Enjoy!
