Old West

This is a sketch based on some photo reference from deviant art. It was from a few months ago so I don't know where the link is :|

Also, if any of you play "Draw Something" you should add Amanda and I. We share an account, our username is "boranda". That game is too much fun!

Last of the Trolls.....for now

Here's the rest of the troll model sheet I've been working on! I was having trouble with the expression with his cheeks puffed out so Amanda pretty much did that one, plus giving me some feedback along the way. Our desks are right next to each other so it's always really easy to give each other feedback. I'm the one usually getting it though :P  

Ghost

The second workshop at iAnimate wrapped up about a week ago. Amanda and I have both learned so much and the next workshop should be awesome! Can't wait! Got a little more time to draw now, even though I'm still trying to plan some animation. Hopefully I'll get more of the troll model sheet up before the end of this year.

Troll Turnaround

Drew this guy a little while back. Here's the first part of his model sheet!

Pig

You never know when you'll need a ladle.

Turtle

Been a little busy lately. The second workshop at iAnimate started 2 weeks ago and Amanda and I just finished a temp animation job at Yowza. Had a bit of extra time so I worked on this guy a bit more. Had a hard time figuring out his head because of it's shape and the placement of his eyes. Still trying to sort that out though, especially from the 3/4 top view.


I've wanted to work on my designs in general a bit more. Honestly haven't done too much since 2nd or 3rd year at Sheridan and was focusing a lot on animation.

Cowboys & Aliens

I posted this over at Sketchy Business, a blog that Trent got going again. This is my take on the current theme "summer blockbusters".

More Trolls!

This is based off the guy below, but steering away from the rockiness and doing something more organic and fleshy. The final version will look more like this guy, with a few tweaks as I work on his model sheet.

Rock Troll

Well, it hasn't been a year between posts this time, only 4 or so months. I consider that an improvement. Here's something I did the other day:



Also, since the beginning of May, Amanda and I have been learning CG at iAnimate.net. It's been great so far and we've already learned a lot. For anyone wanting to learn CG animation, I would definitely recommend iAnimate. Especially for you Sheridan folk, not only are we learning CG but we're learning stuff about animation in general that we didn't in school.
Not sure when, probably sometime in August, I'll see if I can post my progress reel from the first workshop.

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.

New Blog

Well I've finally moved to using blogger as oppose to using my own site, too expensive to keep it going. It's too much work to transfer all of my posts, so I'll just include some stuff from my last few.
