Reader at a Lamp

Another figure drawing post which means another nude! But this one is fairly understated at least. Did it with pen and inkwash in a roughly two-hour class session.

Save Polar Bears

This animatic is the most recent project from my storyboarding class. We had to create a public service announcement.

The Fenrirs

This series was done for my painting and color theory class. They're all about simultaneous contrast. The subject matter is the legend of Fenrir from Norse Mythology. Each one depicts a different scene in his legend. (Also, if anyone digs Fenrir, go to Aymrc in my blog roll. The guys is a French animator who did an amazing short piece about Fenris (same as Fenrir).) Enjoy.  

Master Copy

This was an assignment for my figure drawing class. It is a copy of a chalk drawing by Pierre-Paul Brud-hon. This includes my "cheat sheet" with all the little measurements and the original drawing, my full drawing and some details.

Clothes! Akane and "Miguel"

These are some recent sketches. One (dude holding coffee) is of my cousin from a picture I took a while ago. The other is a character from the book I'm reading right - Heaven's Net is Wide, part of the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn. The character is Akane.

"Miguel"

... Akane

Martin the Dragon

Did this over spring break. It was a photoshop exercise I got from the latest Imagine FX. It's rough, but it was fun to do. The back ground is from a vacation photo taken a few years ago. My wife helped with the name.

First Motiony Thingy

This animatic is my very first. Did it for my Time-Based Media class. We got the subject matter/dialogue from our teacher (who got it from a book). I did the drawings, editing, added music, etc. Everything was done on Final Cut Pro. Exciting....
