Jabba v Solo

'freestyle' animation

So, I was planning on having more zorro stuff up here but this assignment got in the way. Not that thats a bad thing, i thinks its pretty cool, Jabba was alot of fun to draw. didnt turn out as smooth as i would have liked though...



paper fall

the jabba thing was only a 2 week assignment but i couldnt get a way to bring the file home for the longest time (i only realized now that i could have posted from school). either way, heres the latest animation since.

and there IS more zorro to come. soon.

the legendary Zorro!!

I love zorro, hes kickass. I never saw the second (but i assume its not that great) and i will never see the third (because its obviously bad), the Mask of Zorro however = classic.

in terms of the drawing, Ive been reading alot of spawn lately, and his cape is pretty sweet so i thought it would look good. but that adds a kind of evil/dark/rebelness to the character, which is fine by me, and i played that up even more by putting on the old 'joker' expression as well.

I think it turned out. in my opinion its one of my best characters to date so ill most likely be inspired to do a few more of this guy. btw, those with the wii, december 2007 (now) is the official release date for 'the destiny of zorro.' dunno if its actually hit shelves but when it does.....its zorro, buy it.


sketches from the mask of zorro before i tried my own version. i didnt actually use them for reference in the end but they were fun to draw anyway. i like the first set

Caesars Bedroom

term 1 design final for first year animation.

Its not bad; not everything is perfectly accurate, in adding detailed ornaments to the armor I missed the muscle design the roman cuirass usually had, the pillar could have a little more... with only the gladius it looks kind of bare. If I knew how I would have tried to render the carpet so that is stands out a bit from the marble but i suppose that could be left to the colorer haha.

Archer

Inspired by a friend of mine who was trying out the same idea; originally a female elf...with a bow. not too complicated.

but then i didnt feel like bothering with altering the body or face to give it the slim and slender elf feel, and then i wanted some more rugged and worn armour...etc

All in all, I like it, but now its more of a female ranger/rogue/assasin/amazon.... take your pick

Goblins

At first I didnt want to post these guys, not my best stuff in my opinion, but for lack of a better image and because I hadnt done anything else in a while...here they go.

The first was the one with the book and from there I kinda strayed off model - the tired guy is pretty bad. But still, good practice in expressions for me, spent a bunch of time looking in the mirror and thinking about what would best represent his character.
