2D Animation Intro !!

So a While back I posted some Character designs and backgrounds that I had worked on in previous classes. My plan was to put them together in my 2D Animation class and create an intro to a show. Well after a long semester and alot of learning from my mistakes(lol) here is what I came up with. Hope you all enjoy!!! I hope to create a couple animated shorts with the characters in the near to distant future. A good friend of mine provided me with the music in the animation. I had everyone humming this tune all semester long. It was quite amusing! The man has talent. shout out to Carlos (aka Rekademix Beatz).

Stay Puft Turnaround Video!

A little taste of Mr. Stay Puft himself! I want to bring in the video and stills into after effects and create a sweat looking presentation piece. Unfortunately my personal computer is without the program at the moment. Hope to have it up soon! Until then, enjoy my friends!

Who Ya Gonna Call ?

Semester if finally over and let me say thank the good lord! I've got about 3 weeks to recharge my battery and then it's on to the next one!!!! Here's a little goody I just finished up. Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!!!! I began it for my Z-brush contest. We had to model and sculpt a character from the 80's! technically we have to have two characters for the contest. I just really wanted to pay homage to one of the best franchises in the whole wide world, GHOSTBUSTERS! Enjoy my friends new videos will be posted very soon! so come on back.

Animator business Card!

So for my 3D final, we have to create a demo reel showcasing our work during the semester. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a demo reel is, It's how people in the animation industry get work! While prepping for the final, i made a mock business card to go along with it! Funny To think soon enough I'll be passing them out like Chinese workers pass out samples at the mall! :)

And yes, the model in the image is a stock rig we use for animation, the piano and the glasses are my models!! Enjoy...

Hey hey Hey!!!

Well the semester is just about over! 3 weeks and counting! Good News: I can see the finish line and boy does it feel good. Bad News: Finals Finals Finals!!!! lets hope I come out alive! :) Well enough of that nonsense. Here is a little homework assignment i just completed today for this week! I like the way it came out. I will admit, looking back at the beginning of this semester, my work has gotten a whole lot better. I guess the money is paying off! :) (it Better!) Enjoy my friends and have a Happy Easter!!

What a thief!!!

So it seems like I've been using a thief for every class this semester. 2D, 3D and even Z-brush!! Don't know why but it seems like that's the theme for this semester!! Here are some of the stuff I've come up with so far. Just the other day I posted my stills for my Z-brush class. Here is the super awesome turnaround video accompanied by Kings of Leon and my 2D crime heist, or lack of!

For my mother!!

over and over again, my mother keeps asking me to draw her a picture of our dog peanut! So here it is MOM! :)

So that's the new song I've been singing as of late! Just when you finish one thing something is right there waiting. Ah life, got to love it! Any hoot, mid terms are done and where already prepping for the finals! The good news is I've got a couple of goodies for your eyeballs to see. Here is my Z-brush character that I started for mid terms. I posted the low poly version a couple of posts ago. Now here it is all done up and posed! Enjoy. As always thanks to everyone who stops by periodically to show me some love. Keep coming back!
