Baby's First Wish

So we finally finished this!

There's a few things I'm going to tweak over the next couple months, but for now...this is it...enjoy...

Animation galore!

So, here's the project I was working on. There were a LOT of changes made since I last blogged about it. Most noticeably the switch from hand drawn to symbol animation. I'm not a fan of symbol animation, but we had to scrap it half way through and I ended up doing all the character animation myself in 5 days. Do I want a cookie? Sure.

So, my friend Fenia and I are planning to do a stop-motion piece this summer. I've been playing around with it, trying to get a good workflow, and used to the medium in general. This was my first attempt.

Note: Duct-taping the camera to the table does NOT keep it steady....

Funny story. Originally at the end something was going to fall on the coil and kill it (as seen in the next one). My camera decided not to take the last couple pictures and stopped right after the crawl. It didn't ruin it as a study, but it did take away all of the entertainment value. The camera stole my punchline!

I then ordered a tripod. Which Came today!

Here's my second stop-motion experiment. I was testing out a way to use props and remove them in post. It didn't work out that great because the focus was different from picture to picture. Gotta find a way around that.

Anyway, next time I'll probably show some CG animation.

Till then

And by tomorrow I mean next month...

So, hopefully I'll post some of my stuff more frequently. I have more to show than you'd think

Another Mermaid

GET IT?! She's acting like a fish! HA!


I started drawing mermaids again. I think this is the last one for a while. I'm still not all that great with Watercolors, but I rather like how this one turned out. Probably the last mermaid for a while.

Playing around with watercolors...

Laugh with me, Jocko!

I don't know why I've been drawing Freakazoid stuff so much. This one was really fun to do; I haven't used charcoal in ages. This is a Gutierrez, one of Freakazoid's enemies.

I couldn't find my digital camera so I had to scan it which is why it seems so cramped. There's about half an inch of drawing that got cut off.

Super Teen Extraordinaire

I was experimenting with a new way to color using markers for the flats and going over them with colored pencils. I kinda like the result.

...Anywho...

Failed my review because I don't have enough final finished pieces, so I guess I'll pull out the bristol more often instead of just drawing in my sketch book all the time. Here's the first of the new era.

It's been a while

Captain Curtain Revisited

I was messing around with the Captain's model today after reading some articles on Appeal.

I kinda like it, but he looks a little too young....

I'll probably color that face, though.

EDIT: I did...
