Random Sketchez

I did these on Wednesday in a spur of the moment, I-should-probably-do-some-drawing-today thought.
 These ones were quick and dirty!

 The Biggest Beach Babe.


 I always feel like that guy in Office Space when people say "a case of the Mondays." 






Oh and here's something I did with like three days left in last semester, with my friend Evan's prompt:
How you feel about the semester ending...

Apparently I felt like a wonky car in a weird perspective!




Makes me sad that colors fade in different file versions :(

Oldies. But goodies?

Here is my last two projects from my concept class last semester... 
Still in time because I haven't done any other new projects!

 Its not thaaaaaaaat late...

Enjoy!


Ravens!



Thief!


And here's my contribution to the dance that we 
made for my last traditional animation class! :(
 The song was Booty Swing by Parov Stelar! 


Also the transition in was from a sexy magical lady who made a cloud, 
and after this my guy was smooshed by a piano haha!

TWO POSTS IN A NIGHT!?! Wut.

Danielle!

This is my Christmas present to my best friend since sixth grade! 
I'd like to make some adjustments, but it must be printed! At some point!


Tried to make it a little more or less painterly?



More updates soon! So good to be back at Ringling!

Happy ChrismaHanzaKwanzika!

    Or whatever you choose to celebrate this time of year! I'm celebrating the snow we just got and my amazing family!     ....Speaking of, here's a Christmas card that I made. It probably needs some explaining.
     It's a mash up of an old picture we have of my parents, and my brothers. The picture was before I was alive so I guess I thought it would be funny if I literally photoshopped myself in it? And added random Christmas props? And other holly-jolly things?


The animals were a cat and dog in the original image, I cut out the cat and added the my dog from my lifetime, both dogs were named Buffy. Both passed away, so we have some little angels too ha ha!


It all resulted in this card that is probably hard to look at,
 hope it puts you in the holiday mood! (or happy or whatever :) )

Quick Update!

Hello everybody,

This semester was really great! Learning new things everyday and fighting through the issues to keep on making my work. It took me a while but HERE is my Simple Polygons assignment, kind of the final for my Computer Animation class. I made this here giraffey from its design, model, textures, rig, and I animated him. Super fun!

Enjoy!

Also since, I made it and it was hard, here's my first ever lip sync traditionally... I really hope to go back in this with photoshop and clean up portions and make it stronger (so I don't feel so iffy about showing it anymore).... She's a mean, lean, dancin' machine.

On to better things now?... Purhaps!? YES.

More scans coming soon. Plus Xmas cards, animation tests, and models! Big plans for break!

Elephant Ear Puns

Really excited to get back into the swing of things again, the work load has been demanding but is really looking like fun lately. Good timing too, right when the last projects for the semester are getting cranked out. Then a nice break to pump out some new stuff!

Here's a graphic piece that I've experimented with, really fun! I'll be trying to push this more in future pieces.


 The concept layout for my interior kitchen for one of my classes. This is an elephant ears stand. I'll be posting more with this project too. Fun stuff!





Eh, might as well post the character sheets for this project too! 
Here's Rags the stuffed elephant. About to partake 
in the most exciting adventure of his elephant-life! 



This is Ollie the non-threatening 'carnie.' He had to be sympathetic to the elephant, so I couldn't make him as crusty and crazy as carnies are (no offense, I love carnivals).


Here's Pepper she was a fun design
 but ended up not being necessary for the story
... and I had to dwindle down to two characters.

 Here's the old Rags, cuter is better in this case. I hope. 
Thinking that I may end up chopping off more of his ear in the 
boards and other process work that I do... The drama!




History is for sketching!

Well, my art history class is a three hour block of great stuff that I should be learning... The only thing is that I should get more sleep before I head to that class. Anywho, here are the 'cafe' (if you will) sketches that keep me up.

Gotta be striving for some more stylized characters, but still want to keep growing in my observational. I will just draw more and more and more!

 Gotta love transparent paper!

 My DIPSY one hour piece for the Harrison Ford theme. Portraits man. All I sketch?


That weird shapey geo, is a hint of my giraffe that I'm modeling for CA, stay tuned I'll post a render of what that guy is looking like very soon!
