Zoo Trip # 3

More elephants!

Zoo Trip #2

So Amanda and I went to the zoo again yesterday with Ben and Chris. Wasn't as rusty this time around so I did a bit better. The new polar bear exhibit is a lot nicer than it used to be too. They have a pretty big underwater viewing area now, it was awesome being so close to them while they were play-fighting underwater.

Everything below is from life except the elephant in colour. I'm trying to figure out how to anthropomorphize them and make them animatable and expressive.

Also, I should have mentioned that the hunter isn't related to my film. He shan't be hunting elephants anytime soon.

30 Elephants

I'm learning to draw elephants, so I found a bunch of pictures online and drew from them. Can you guess what my 4th year film will be about?

More Sketches

Amanda and I have started going to the mall and zoo more, now that school is closing in on us.
I've also decided on an idea for my 4th year film that I'm getting excited about, it's a brand spanking new fresh-outta-my-head idea so I haven't done any drawing for it yet. Soon though...sooon.
Meanwhile here are some more zoo/cafe sketches... Again.

Midsummer Post

These are some subway sketches and a few misc sketches from a while ago. I do have a few new things for my 4th year film though, but my idea and stuff might change so I'll hold off on those for now. I also put up some screencaps of scenes that I animated for our 3rd year film Hogwild.
Looking back at these scenes now I can really tell how awful my clean-up was, especially because it was so rushed. Amanda and I have been doing some clean-up for Princess and the Frog for the past couple months and I think we've both improved a lot.

What I did at School this Week

And hopefully every week.

Action Analysis and Costume

The last two months have been busy with finishing up the action analysis and the holidays.
Thanks to Amanda for helping me finish up my background on time.

We also had our first session of life drawing after coming back from the break yesterday. Started costume this term which is a lot of fun to stylize and make characters of.

And some old development stuff for an action analysis idea.

Pigs - Scrooge - Cat

The first three of the pigs and farmers are concepts from our group film for this year. Since these were done, the film has changed a little so these reveal nothing about story or the final design, so hopefully I'm allowed to show them. If any of you group members think I should take them down let me know.





This was for an English assignment. Everyone had to do their interpretation of a different character. Mine was Scrooge when he was still engaged to Belle.



And this last one was from my initial film pitch that we had early on in the year.
