Off the Cuff

As someone with a bit of an imagination, I like to get ideas down onto paper whenever I can.  I do carry a sketchbook and pencils with me but also my iPad and stylus.  As a result I end up with a lot of random doodles and quick sketches, some of which turned out pretty well.  At least, I think so.  Seeing as my library of these is constantly expanding, I'll most likely post volumes of off the cuff stuff as they mount up.  Check out more after the jump.

I like to do... other forms of art as well

Hot on the heels of my drawing post, I've got just what everyone wants to see: tons more images.  This next batch will be basically everything I picked out to show that wasn't a pencil drawing.  There's some sculpture, some photoshop, paper cutouts, cool stuff.  Assuming these kinds of posts are well received, I will continue to put up other random bits of art I do.  Constructive criticism is always welcome too.  Check out more after the jump.

I like to do drawings

It's been a while since my last update and I figured, animations are only a small portion of my artwork so I'm gonna use this space to share other pieces I have.  Just to give myself a limitation between posts, this first one will just be a selection of pencil and paper drawings I've done over the past few years.  I don't want to make this too spammy with images.  But anyhow, I hope you enjoy.  Check out more after the jump.

 

No Scoped

Here's my very first attempt at a full character animation.  I wanted to keep the character as simple as possible so I could focus more on getting the motion right.  It is all straight-ahead animation, no rotoscope was involved.

Dinosaurs, Yay!

Everyone loves dinosaurs.  That's why I made these cycle animations of a dinosaur (generic theropod) walking and running.  Retrospectively, I think I could do the run cycle a little better, but hey, not bad for a first attempt at an actual cycle that isn't a stick figure.

And We're Back

It was only a matter of time before I had something else to show off.  In this case, I actually have 3 things.  Fairly similar but the difference is in the animation as opposed to the actual drawn content itself.  I realize I've already done a rolling, bouncing ball animation but just bear with me.  I'm rather proud of my second, third, and fourth balls.

2 for 1 Special

Got 2 videos this time since I forgot to upload my last project to here.  First is a quick little line drawing animation showing a walk cycle, nothing terribly fancy but it turned out well.  Second is my attempt to lip sync animation with an audio file, in this case a clip from "Neglected Space" by Imogen Heap.  I was planning on using a longer clip but if theres one thing I know, it's that animation always takes way longer than you expect, so I had to trim the audio to fit my time constraints.  But anyway, I hope you enjoy.
