Few Animals

SketchCrawl first time!

So, I attended my first sketch crawl, and am just now getting around to scanning posting some of my drawings. It was allot of fun, I think I will try and do it again, whenever they do it again, if I can.

There was some sort of italian fair going on, that's where the princess comes from as well as the masks from a booth at said festival. The guy above, well, he was just very focused on finding the coolest possible way to sit without his shirt on. The ship below is a bit of a cheat, I drew this on treasure island a couple days later.

Sketch

So school is over. Looking for a job and starting a new life. Just have to keep sketching I guess. who knows what the future will hold! I'm exited :-)
So at my sister's school, they play Quidditch apparently. A couple kids and a couple adults, some balls, brooms and pvc pipe for goals is all they need for a good afternoon match. Jolly good :-P

I dunno if this is the best way to animate, but it is one way I do.

Ringling tradition to do a spoof poster. Here's mine :)

Couple More Stills

Process

I was pulling together some of my stuff that I had laying around from coming up with the look and feel of my thesis and decided to throw them together real quick.
Unfortunately I'm missing many of the intermediary steps, I was trying to work quickly and would often overwrite old files and not think to save the many tests that I did. But hopefully this gives you an idea of how I went about trying to refine the style.

From left to right it pretty much goes from early source material. Early tests to see what I would want to shoot for. Then tests in Maya, seeing if i wanted to go with a slightly shaded look, with drop shadows, or if I wanted a purely surface shaded look.

Little bit of thesis

These are still in progress, but this is the direction I am going in.
