Animtion #3!

Alright, heres a bit of an update...not a lot of time for more than that, but take a look......

Still revising and working on it (the cat has little animation on him at this point, and there are some spots still in Stepped mode, so no worries, getting there!)

Animation #2!

Ok, so its been about a day and a half, and this is what I was able to get down for the second animation......

Note:
There is a glitch with the dog's L arm in the opening section that was fixed, and some other small mods that have been done since this was put together. it just takes forever to playblast, so I posted what I had :-D

WAHOO! Crankin along.....

UPDATE:

Now on to Animation #2...heres what I got ;-)

First part "complete"...Speedy coming in and asking Couch if he's had all his fruits and veggies for the day...

Then Couch responding with the fact that he's eaten a whole lotta fruit flavored Candy! haha...




WAHOO!

7 more to go.....

Working on the "Snacks with Mom" one now! Let me know what you all think!!!!!!!!

the long awaited graphic design........

Mk...so for some reason I can't figure out how to turn off "underline" on this post...but anyway...

Here are some of my graphics!! Starting out with a couple things I did in Photoshop. This is a dragon that I drew out originally for my brother as a part of a tattoo design. Fire and Ice dragons. Needless to say this is as far as I have gotten thus far on the Fire side. It was kind of a test to see how I could make it work. Next comes intertwining the two of them once I finish up the individual dragons. Either way, here is a sketch that I started with, and then some progress on the body. The arms are not quite finished...but its definitely getting there :-)

These next two are images that I did for a t-shirt contest for the Army 10 Miler in Washington, D.C. Needless to say, I did not win, but I was pretty damn proud of them! Both done 100% in Illustrator. First really complex designs I did in Illustrator as well.

Here is another project I did in Illustrator. This was one of the first that I did in an intro class. Its an iguana's face. I thought it was really neat, and I obviously took some liberties in the coloration, but I was really happy with how it came out.

On to one of my favorites :-D. Unfortunately, it was created at a difficult time in my life (a bad break up....could you guess?? haha), but I was really happy with the outcome. It consists of one digital photograph, and the rest was all done in Photoshop. Love it!

Now here are a couple of just little fun ones that I did. These were done for my Triathlon Team in college. The first was a design for our pint glasses (Hey, alcohol is good for athletes...look it up! haha...), and the second is the design for our Nationals t-shirts my Senior year. We had a habit of creating the shirts off of the "popular movie" that summer, and at the time it happened to be the new Transformers Movie...which I was 100% OK with. I think it turned out pretty cool. I made the text by using the original Transformers text as reference, and I made some of my own modifications to the face. Pretty basic :-D Cool none the less....

























So, there ya go! Just some samples of my graphics work. I have some more, but that will have to come later. haha. These are some of the ones I was the most proud of.

Plenty more to come, along with ANIMATION! :-D

My two favorite things.

Enjoy!

Last assignment of class 3!

Yes...........I am terrible at keeping up to date with this. I admit it. Im bad. Haha.

But now for an update! Life has been good! Busy, but good! our last video shoot for work is Thursday, and in between shoots Ive been full-on into Animation prep for the segments for our show.

In terms of homework, just now working on refining the final one for the end of the term. here is what I got so far:




So far, I have been getting really positive feedback on this, which makes me feel great! A lot of people think its the best one yet, and funny enough, it was the least difficult for me! One more week of work on it until the end of the term, so we will see where it ends up by the end!


Anyway, in the meantime, I have been searching for work in the area, pretty much whatever I can find. I think I am heading the graphics route, 2D that is, at least for now. I love that stuff, and I honestly would have been so happy to double major in both graphic design and animation, had the option been available, but I love both mediums nonetheless. So far I have found one place...gotten into the second round of the recruiting process, which is AWESOME.....so we'll see where that goes.

I think I am going to start posting some of my 2D stuff on here as well...so I might have to change the title a bit ;-) haha.

Anyway, keep checking back, and I will hopefully have some graphics up tonight (I know, I said that last time, but I really mean it this time :-P )
