Lip Sync - Shaun of the Dead

Lip sync assignment, last project of this semester. Now on to animating for the film...

Butterfly Woes layout colours - Final

Final colours for the film's layout.

Leo Turnaround

The final character. He's still in the roughs of rigging, but he moves... I know cat tails don't swish around like that, but I wanted something interesting for his idle... I'd like to redo it when the rig is more finalized.

Life drawing midterm and kitties

Midterm for life drawing was a drapery study. Done using a chair and white bed sheet.

Also the finished picture of the pair of cats.

Life Drawing - Oct 21/2011 - Drapery

In class drapery study using a new way of drawing (wipe and erase). I enjoy this method far more than attempting to create mid-tones with conte...

Class Drawings and a doodle

In our "Film Studies" class, we're being asked to draw cartoon characters off of the projector screen... We'll do 5 in total, but this is the first 3 (edit: the only 3; we never got around to doing the others). And a doodle of Leo, my now named film character.

Zoo Trip Oct 7th

Few gestures from our trip in life drawing to the Papanack Zoo a few weeks ago. Been bad about updates...

Dog Muscles

Muscle drawing and overlay on the skeletal study from a few weeks back.

Life Drawing - Sept 30/2011

We had dogs in for life drawing on Friday; these are just some of the gestures I got out of it. I believe they were Husky German-shepherd mixes. They were pretty hyper at first...

Model Sheet

Rough model sheet for the character so modelling can commence.

Character Concept Painting

Digital painting of the final character design for my film.

I have caved...

I'm not normally big on just writing my thoughts on the internet, but I'm excited about this.

I've been rolling the idea around in my head since they came out, but I finally gave in today and got myself an iPad. Between Sketchbook and the few animation apps, completely worth it. I wanted it mostly to have my references with me easier than carrying 30lb books around. Don't get me wrong, books are awesome, but my back is only so strong.

And another leopard sketch for study's sake; not detailed too much unfortunately, I was trying to be quicker. I spend far too much time on my details in sketches...

Character Drawings

Some cleaned up sketches for the pitch package needed for this film

Layout Planning

Stage idea for the film. Simple story, luckily it only needs the one set. Also found the driver for my tablet finally, so this is my first test drive with it in Photoshop.

Smooch

Was drawing actual snow leopards for study and loved this photo I found...

Sketchings

Random animal sketches from photos.
Giraffe

Dog skeletons! Great thing to draw bright and early on a Friday morning. From Life Drawing class Sept 9/2011.

Summer

Sketches and studies done during the summer leading up to my third and final year at Algonquin College. Lots of cats.
