My Demo Reel

So here is the last demo reel I'll post for a while on here. Due to several circumstances I've pretty much had a new demo reel every month with very insignificant changes, so I've been hesitant to post yet another one.

No new demo reels will be uploaded until a much more extravagant changes would be made.
For those who've seen my infinite amounts of previous demo reels, this one isn't really too different.

The reel is currently being used for things that I can only hope will work out, and I shall elaborate further if they do!

Being cryptic is fun.

Anyhow, that is all.

Character Package

So here is my final character design project of the year. I made an attempt to finish strong on this one, but in light of all the other assignments I have - as well as some other cool animationy' things that, depending on future events, may or may not be elaborated on - I just found myself 'settling' more than I would have liked.

"No one remembers how fast it was done, only how well it was done." - Matt Williames

I'm disappointed that I couldn't live up to that mantra, but sadly, I'm human. But how cool would it be if I was like a robot human hybrid instead... Yeah, that would be cool.

That being said - the bit about art, not about robots - I am still fairly pleased with how it turned out, and I definitely feel I've improved in my sense of design, and ability to execute it.

One Drawing A Week

I'm going to try and make the effort do make one finished drawing a week. Whether that be a pencil sketch, or Photoshop illustration. I mean, I'm in a drawing program, but the amount of time I get to work on my own drawings is abysmally small.

This way I can experiment with new styles and techniques and hopefully get some cool results.

So here's the first drawing, and what better way to start than with a pretty girl?

Character Timeline

Here is my latest assignment for Character Design class. We had to design an anthropomorphic character and show them in 5 different stages of their life: Infant, youth, teen, adult, and elderly. 

Overall, I'm a bit back and forth on this one. There are poses I like, and poses I don't. I really don't think it's one of my best assignments, so hopefully my next one will turn out better.

I went to a Zoo

I gotta say, I've never drawn animals at the Zoo before, and it's like, the most fun thing ever. Better than eating ice cream even.

Anyhow, these are the results of that day at the zoo. Drawing the Gibbons and the Orangutans were probably the highlight of the whole trip.

Life Drawings and Such

So here are some drawings done in my Life Drawing class. They range from caricatures - my favorite of which is currently in my teachers possession for grading, I'll upload it later - to exercises in movement, to standard life drawings.

Look at them if you'd like. Hell, look twice even. But don't you dare look a third time.
