Prop Design

Heres the latest from school : flying vehicles. Complete with a couple beginning thumbnails, more developed roughs and the final (invented) model sheet.

The story 'driving' the design (haha) is a mischievous rebel child with a gift for mechanics.

Lexx has long since abandoned the thought of a standard career oriented life and spends his days scavenging for machine parts, tending to his mechanical creations and mingling with the other members of society's rejected underground.

Torso study

Theres something about anatomy thats fun to figure out, its like a big living bendable puzzle.

And so: the beginnings of my new goal to become well versed in all the intricacies of the human body.

Skip Rope

Latest animation. This one I got pretty pumped for, ended up being a lot of fun.

Little Wendy was feeling the need to do some cardio, and I felt the need to show how it all went down.

'details'


volumes/model


gesture/action line


Probably one off my better animations to date. Ive realized, its all thanks to just enjoying oneself and finding satisfaction in the struggle.

All in all, gotta say that this art form is THE best invention of all time. Sorry to people with 'real jobs,' but animations got you beat.

Assorted

So, haven't been doing all that much personal drawing, assignments + tribe tales takes first priority now-a-days, but heres some of the latest.

New Comic Blog!

As of a few weeks ago, my life has become a lot busier,.... and hopefully a helluva lot more fun!

Not only has school started once again, but me and a friend have decided to try and start our own web comic as a little side project. Now I know that animation is a full time deal, but even while only in the design phase, the comic already seems to have a firm hold on me.

The main challenge is that its a completely different style then what I'm used to, but I can see char designs, layouts, boarding and (fingers crossed) animation coming out of it. We'll see how things go.


So check it out! Ive added the link to the sidebar -----> tribetales.blogspot.com
