Ani 114 Portfolio

          Another crazy semester! This go around it was all animation, though we had some gestures and animal studies from Ani 114. At the end of the semester, along with an animation reel, we we're required to submit a portfolio of all the people and animal studies as well as personal work.

          

          Due to the constant people and animal studies, I'm starting to find enjoyment in character design and personalities. Most of my sketchbook work halfway through the semester is comprised of it. Hopefully I can upload more of those soon, but I definitely think I need to continue studying from life and get some more character and environments down. Overall very pleased with how it came out in the end.

More Bears!

It must be a phase or something! Some quick digital stuff I whipped up in my free time of bears! Need to start trying textures soon as well as environments. Love chunky bears!

Also a little girl was sick and I made her a "get well soon" bear!

Bear Jump

Also while we're still on bears, have a quick bear jump I key'd and made breakdowns for in class yesterday (about 1hr 30min work).
It's about 10 frames.

Bear Doodles

So I don't know why but I've been having a bear crave lately and decided to quickly (30min) bust out some bear doodles while waiting for class the other day. Then later on, I decided to practice more with color and render one of the suckers. Actually fairly pleased with how it turned out.

I've been doing a ton of animal studies lately as well in my sketchbook and am itching to post some on this site. I'm holding out until I finish the last 4 pages however, but it should be fairly soon.

Rage

Normally I don't post Original Character stuff to this blog anymore, but I felt it might be worthwhile this time. The character my friends chose to create, Rage, needed to be more developed so I went back to the concept during summer. When I asked her about it, she was pleased by the idea and listed several changes she wanted for the character. After making a list of changes as well as looking up some reference and research on the lore, I began with the ideations and finished with the renderings at the end. These were done about midway through July.

Digital Daily Doodles

As well as sketching during my trips, when I managed to stay at home, I tried to work on my digital painting skills by doing some daily digital sketches in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Below are some of the "doodles" I did in a span on an hour max. They're pretty crap now but hopefully if I keep doing them, they'll improve soon.
