This is my friend Angela's husband Nick, who also get a portrait from me for xmas, I did them as a pair so they could face each other hanging on a wall.

Angela

I made this for my friend Angela for xmas and thought it looked nice and thought I'd share something I did in my spare time .

Happy Holidays!

This is a mono-print I made just for the holidays, I'm thinking of making some stationary of this image for the holidays. Any suggestions on where I could do this online? Any feed back really appreciated!

runcycle

Quick run cycle of a cave girl character I helped design for the film I've been working on.

face animation

some facial animation tests I've been working on for the main character. This is the first time I've animated his face so I learned a lot from this, like how far I can squash him, and how far I can stretch him without making him go off model. Here He goes off too much but he wont the next time I animate him!

Shot Gun Animation Tests

In getting back into animation this week my director had us do some shot gun tests, which basically consists of animating a given scene as quickly as we can. I did the punch in five minutes, it took longer because it had a few layers to work with.
The Dinosaur run was another shot gun test which took about 4 minutes, it had been a while since I'd done a walk cycle, and it's super rough, but the shot gun's are helping me to quickly flesh out what works, what doesn't and why on a basic level without investing too much valuable production time just to find out something doesn't work on a very basic level. for example the tail of the dinosaur dips around too much so that's something I can fix on the next sg test.

concept heads

The Director of the film already had a clear idea of the face, and wanted some ideas as to what the girl's hair should look like so these are just quick sketches of a bunch of different ideas for his to glance at, then I went and did some quickie rotations of the hair styles he liked to give him a better idea of how animate-able they would be.
