Dave's Dragon

I had a dream that my friend Dave animated this awesome dragon. I woke up and drew it and asked him if I could have it. He's very generous!

Classic Disney

What a classic!

Who could forget?

A birthday drawing I did for my cousin a little while ago!

Spaaaace!

Fish Hooks!

I've been animating Disney's Fish Hooks at Mercury Filmworks for the past year.

Here's a cluster of gift drawings I did for people to celebrate wrapping up season 2!

I did these earlier in the season. They're maybe a bit messed? Inside jokes here.

These don't reflect the actual show.

Frozen!

So some friends of mine started a blog with a new animation or illustration theme every two weeks. The one that just passed was "Frozen."

We're limited to looping cycles of animation!

Fine Tooning Cover

Our Fine Tooning graduate art book's cover image. Designed by yours truly and this fantastic fellow.

The focal image was drawn by me while Dave did everything behind it. Lots of helpful input between us and from people passing by our workstation. Thanks everyone!

Drawings

 Trying different things.

 

I drew a thing for Beccy

And coloured it.

It was her B-Day...

...A couple of days ago. I drew her as a dragon!

Some Scenes

I felt like posting something new. Here's some scenes I'm nearly done tweaking.

Life Drawing Midterm

 We drew Jafar in life drawing class.

 Unfortunately the real Jafar was unavailable. Instead we had to practice drawing him beforehand and picture the model with his crazy proportions (with the aid of the model's pretty neat costume).

 I like how the face turned out on this one.

This was a gesture sequence. The model continuously acted out a scene (in this case trying to run for a bus and missing it) and we had to pick out important "story-telling" poses. Each was about a 3 min drawing.

These were all drawn on 24" x 36" sheets of newsprint.

Business Card

 It's been a relatively long time since my last post, hm?

I present my business card design. I'll do a test print tomorrow.

And the back will look something like this:

Scene 8 Nearly Complete

It's almost there. Need to colour the car, adjust the O/L, add an effect and a shadow.

Oh, maybe it's not almost done. But it's progress!

The leap

I cleaned and coloured this today. Obviously the BG is still incomplete.

She's over 9000

A quick animation I slapped together for my friend Kat's birthday.

It combines Dragonball Z, iguanas and sushi. Unfortunately I didn't have time to add any sound in.

Here's a link to Kat's blog!

Also, check it out! I'm uploading from Vimeo now.

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody

 This is a craft I made for a special someone who's into steampunk. I'm fairly proud with how looks despite my scant knowledge of producing the style.

Here's an alternate perspective.

Unfortunately it has no purpose or function beyond aesthetics. Maybe next time I'll try to add some mechanics to my crafting.

Ingredients used:

• Wooden craft hearts
• Bronze, copper and black paint
• Gears and chain purchased from a craft store
• Some doodads purchased from a hardware store
• Knickknacks found around the house
• Love
• Glue

Here's Gomez

This was our Introduction-to-Flash assignment, involving some simple head movement and lip sync. I found it funny that we were animating floating heads so I created a BG a head would feel comfortable on.

Punk Rocker Robos...

....was the theme of this week! Maybe I'll post my zombie one soon.

DSi Doodle Animations 2

Here's a DSi doodle animation of my friend Kat playing with my friend Katie's Cat. That came out sounding a bit redundant...

And naturally you can't have one without the other, so here's her boyfriend Ryan burping like no one else can. Ryan's a pretty swell guy.
