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.

Summer Sketch Pages

 Wow what a long summer! Not only did I end up going to Malaysia, but took a road trip from Oregon, up to Canada and back for 2 weeks. Anyways, below are several sketches I made during the summer for places I went and experienced. Below are a few from that sketchbooks (will post more i've done during this semester later)

(Colors for this one are better in my Sketchbook)

Ani 113B Hero Tree

Made a quick GIF of the Hero Tree Illustration 

The whole process of the illustration starts out the same way with every idea: Thumbnails!

Soon after choosing the best thumbnails, we had to figure out what kind of tree we were trying to draw, the age, story, diseases, location, time of day, etc of the tree and come up with an initial design. It was after this design I realized coming up with a design was going to be challenging.

Then after the many revision's applied in the above GIF, we end up with this:
