2 Month Drought

These are some life drawings of mine from earlier this week for the first time in 2 months along with a page of cafe drawings from.. well.. two months ago.

Good is DUMB

This is my first lip sync done in 3d. whoaaaa..

For those of you that don't know. This clip is from Spaceballs.

One Wild Saturday Night

Title says it all.
Spent my Saturday night doing some test animation of my groups main character Russel for the short film we're currently working on. For the first time in over 2 years I think I actually enjoyed animating and put forth a lot more effort toward it then I normally do. I was hoping to put up a test animation of him jumping tonight as well but after going to "tweak" a few frames I ended up completely redoing it and still have some issues, so that wont be added till tomorrow. So in the meantime, here's Russel walking the opposite direction of forwards.

High Rise Get-Away

This painting is based off of a layout I did last year. While I was painting it though I made some pretty major changes to the home sitting on top of the mountain. Regardless I loathe whomever it is that has chosen to live atop this mountain to get away from everyday life.

Tropical Get-Away

So today I tackled a painting of a tropical type like island. I've never really painted water before so it was interesting to play around with it and made for a nice learning curve. I feel as though this is a step up from my previous painting but still plenty to learn. Anyways, on with the show.

Digi Painting

I would probably consider this my first real effort toward digital painting, everything else before this has more so been me playing around with different brush settings. That being said there's still plenty for me to learn. I've also added some mini concept sketches n' such to go along with the final painting.

*made a minor edit to the main image. Turns out it was blindingly bright when viewing the image afterward on my monitor rather then my Cintiq.*

Happy New Year

and now for my first post of 2009.. also the first time since the break that I've tried creating a bit o art work. Although it's not my fault for slacking so much since I recently had back surgery which i can see being a huge pain in the ass once school starts up again since I still have over 3 months of recovery to go :S Anyways, now for the painting.
