Two More Figures

My art teacher told me I ruined this because I smudged the lines a bit when I was making a soft layer for a skin base. But I wasn't concerned so much with my line or even finishing since I was more concerned with the composition and then the hands. I really like the cropping...I don't know why I turtled through this. Only lines in three hours. I must have been tired.



This was fun. I like the things this model puts in his hair. Crooked background though....

I can't wait for Tangled!

Skeletons

My art midterm. I wish I could have put more time into the muscles...These are about 6 1/2 feet tall.

Weight Animation. Needed a few more frames at the end.

Besides, that midterms and working on a video game project are keeping me very busy. Though I took out a large chunk of my schedule to meet the Japanese animation students who visited my school. It was very interesting. Got to go to Sony Imageworks and Animation with them. I was so glad that the tour manager specially arranged Japanese speaking employees to talk to them about their work.

Freshman Fall Semester Animations

Here are the animations I did the Fall of my first year, (at least the ones I liked):
I realized I never put them up.

During the summer my sister and me did some fanart to sell as prints at a convention. My sister drew the males, I drew the Pokemon (Pikachu, Eevee, and the Beedrill), I compiled it in photoshop, did the background, and colored it all. I want to get better at photoshop. I used the smudge tool a lot which I heard is not a good way to color in it. I will take a class next semester I hope.


Another Pokemon fanart for the convention. I drew the girl (please ignore her huge hand!) and Furret, while my sister drew the boy and Zubat and Gastly. She inked it and I colored/toned it in Photoshop. I wanted to play around with a coloring style I saw, but I didn't do it right.



Made this back in December. It was for a cosplay organization near me. Sis drew the boy and the background. I drew the girl and colored it. I've never been to the meetings, but I usually do the shirt designs. Done with ink and copic (which smudged in some spots.) Sparkles with photoshop.


This was for a local Thanksgiving race organization. I won first place with my design. I had entered two years ago and was asked to reenter. This design will be on a shirt. They seem to like the childish look for the contest.

Figure Studies and a Sketch

First is a drawing I did in my sketchbook. I should have been working on an essay, but....I think my guys are getting better from figure drawing. I'm not even gonna pretend my scanner can scan. Everything always looks so bad when I use it.



From Glenn Vilppu's class. Not as good as most of that class's students BUT for me these seemed like I was getting better.

Hands and Feet

Assignment for art class. I like hands, but feet are kind of boring; not as interesting/flexible.

I redid some of the textures, added some new animation, credits, and got a composer. Now this animation is complete!


I never posted this one last year. There's like 50 masking layers on this. Crazy.

End of Game Design + Final Art Project

To end a very stressful class, I had a very stressful final project. For game design, my group (against my will) decided to do a game pitch about pirates vs. ninja vs. robots. I kind of got my way with cooperative play but not really. So I agreed to do two drawings for them. The ninja and the robot for the presentation. (I found a pirate on Deviantart do use for the pitch). These were my quick drawings.





Also in Art class we had to represent an idea with the figure for our final. My theme was that we hide our false identity with another false identity. We are trapped by these false selves. It was done in colored India Ink. It was hard to mix colors and I could not mix a skin tone. It looked like a corpse color!
