October Animation!

These will be the last of the animations for October. And so another month passes....(big sigh) Well, I am learning more about Maya and improving my hand drawn, which is still my main focus. This time around in Maya we tackled walk cycles.

Regular Walk




Creeper Walk
This was part of the other Assignment in Maya, this time we had to do a character walk cycle. Something with a little more personality. chose a creeper kinda walk.... need i say more?



Dramatic Camera / Camera as a Character

Our assignment was to make the camera into a character and use some sort of dynamic movement. This was a alittle tricky for me. Ive never really tried to used extreme camera angles, but I'm really glad we did this because it really helped me feel better about the space my characters exist in and my ability to move the camera around. So altogether helpful. I plan to inbetween this so, watch for a more finalized version of this. Right now its just an animatic

More Maya!

Just a couple more exercises that we are working on in Maya. Im still getting used to the program so be kind. I really like working in Maya tho. makes things a lot easier...sometimes. Hopefully I will have some sketches up soon.

JUMP!




Turn Around!

Finally Animating Again!

Really happy to be animating again. Especially in Maya (3-D program)! And of course in 2-D again, my real passion.

This is the first time I've ever gotten to animate in Maya. And I think its a step in the right direction. Maybe not the best example, but still....progress.




This is just a weight assignment for our digital class, i know its still 2-d.The assignment was to animated a weighted object like a bucket, shot-put or a wheel barrel. I need to tweek this a little so keep your eye out for my revision.

Digital Methods: Crow City

This was my first really time seeing what after effects could do. Our project was to make a story book using the 3-d layer effects in after effects. I wanted this project to be a little more conceptually based (something i don't usually do). So i played around with a lot of textures. I think I came out a lot better than I still think it did.

Kinda Dumb... I know

For that walk cycle that I posted before this I have to do a background for it and , my gave me idea to do a little muppet babies video editing. So I just got these random videos and put my little character there. Kinda lame I know, but i had to....

Sketch Dump!

This is just a bunch of random sketches that I think are showing a lot of progress. Right now my main focus in a lot of my work is line quality, both my drawings and in my animations. I've also been playing a lot with the copic markers and i think they're getting better.... its still a work in progress tho.

enjoy and thanks for watching even after the long summer of lack of posts.

Stretch Lizard Walk Cycle (DI and P)

silly walk cycle that i did for my new digital methods class. Thats right I'm back and animating better than ever! This is my first time digitally inking and painting a project. Im really happy with the way this came out. It took forever to get down after effects, but it was well worth it.

enjoy
