D:

How I feel right now.

Chuggin' along....

 



 

Chuggin' along. There's no context to this animation at all. It doesn't really make sense in sequence either, to be honest. It's missing like two layers of character animation.

I misplaced my sanity somewhere today, but the cintiq light had burned the focus out of my eyes and I couldn't find it again. I asked everyone else if they had my sanity, but they were too busy looking for their own. Such is third year.

Let This Stay In Your Nightmares FOREVER

 

Workin' on other Work instead of Work Work.

 

WORK!

The Quickest Test Scene

The quickest, most context free of them all.

Also stress. There's that too. 

ANIMATION!

Well, I Don't See Nibiru, Do You?

As she appears in the film.

Either that was the most disappointing rapture in history, or nothing happened on Doomsday. Not even centuries old eschatological prophecies can save us from our portfolio preparations, as the mighty hand of Animation stays even the trumpets of the apocalypse.

Also found some old character designs as I was going through my folders. They're not the best designs, but get this: "It's Hard Out There For a Pimp...In Asgard". 

Once More Unto the Breach

Welp.

 There goes the summer.

An avian god of art

I made a bunch of pastel sketches based on a random text generator a while back. My final project for the summer was to develop them. Beyond redesigning them, the point of these was to wean myself off of an over-reliance on digital tools.

 The digital painting in this lineup is the thing that frustrated me enough to drop the digital angle. It is decidedly unfinished.

I also have some lore-like snippets written up for these characters. Those I'll have to proofread a little more. There's  A LOT of made up words.

Clouds by my window

This is basically the only study I did all summer. Since I had my laptop reanimated, I haven't been able to get the color settings right, so these could look like... anything, really.

 Last life drawings for the summer. 

This is the same model as the one from the first session of the summer. 

Heh.

Stuff from the zoo.

 I caved and bought a membership on impulse, so now I have to go to the zoo more, if I ever want to recoup my losses. I'm always sort of hesitant to go to the zoo, since people there treat art students about the same as the animals.

I can't really read it either

Finally, this blasphemy of penmanship. I've been waking up at 3 in the morning and writing whatever comes to my head on this piece of newsprint the entire summer. Between this, a .txt file on my desktop and a few pages of Iphone notes are about 10 to 20 different ideas for the group film. Of these, only about 5 are worth anything, and of those five, only 3 have coherent plot beats. 

Still.
