Not-White Guy Wins

Sketches from the end of the semester

This top one is probably my favorite drawing from this sketchbook so far. Way to go, not-white guy. Thanks for being an awesome character.

My markers are drying out.

This guy was pretty darn awesome too. Claire, Stephanie, and I found him chilling outside a coffee shop, reading a newspaper. Classic.

And here's fellow animation student Jared Merrill, looking like a celebrity. lol

It seems I have a Sam Worthington look-alike in my ward...

Character Design Final

Reference joke lol.

Krepe

Finally! Here at last is the final product of the past semester's work in Barry Zundel's 3D Animation class. This took over 80 hours total to model, texture, rig, and animate. Good times in the 3D Lab...

His name is Krepe (pronounced like "creep"). He's been around for a long time. Here's the first drawing I ever made of him...back in 2004. When I was 15. He had a tail back then.

Aaaaah, memories...

Emulation Week Two

Yet more emulation for Character Design...

First, is an emulation of Nicolas Marlet, character designer for Kung Fu Panda.

And second, an emulation of Mattias Adolfsson, a freelance illustrator from Sweden.

And then there was sketchbooking...

Jon Foster came and gave a lecture on campus the other day.

Cheeks Emulation

This was the first week of our Emulation assignment in Character Design and I decided (like several other people, apparently) to emulate Sean "Cheeks" Galloway, since his style is super appealing and totally not how I usually do things.

Hey look, it's me. I wear red shoes.

And then we have some sketches from the last week. Hoorah. Yeah, Toaster the Bear was brown when I originally painted him.

Little baby Claire to whom I am somehow related.
