Animation - Snow Leopard Walk

Finally got around to finishing this up! Here is my Snow Leopard walk cycle for Animation. All done on paper.

The most challenging part was animating his spots. I had one failed attempt before my teacher, Blair Kitchen, suggested I animate a grid on his skin first, to then map out his spots. That worked a lot better - still was a challenge!

If you want to see my research work you can find it here:

And as always, here are some stills:

Grid

Spots!

Animation - Alice

And finally "Alice" is DONE! It took soooooo long! First time I got to animate one of my pinup designs!

All animated in Flash - frame by frame - then edited in After Effects and Premier. This short film was a project for my Digital Tools class at Sheridan.

The song is "Some Like it Hot" by Marilyn Monroe - which I DO NOT own the rights to.

If you want to look at my concept work for this, way back from January, take a look:

Here it is! Enjoy!

And here are my favorite stills from the film!

Painting - City Wolf - Color Comps

And here are my two color comps for my City Wolf Painting. I'm leaning towards the more desaturated one.

Here is the tonal study for those interested:

Azula as Medea - War Propaganda Poster

For my "Heroes in Modern and Ancient Myth" class we were to chose between two mythological characters, Medea or Jason, and compare and contrast them with a "modern" hero.

I chose Azula, from one of my favorite animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender". I'm comparing her with Medea, for obvious reasons. We got to chose if we wanted to have an "art" component to our analysis so I chose to draw a War Propaganda Poster - something that might have circulated if Azula had won the War and become Fire Lord.

I had a lot of fun with this! Flash and Photoshop.

Pinups - Gaby

Here is another one of my early pinups - still a favorite! Of my friend Gaby - who I will always admire, for her amazing sense of style, and for the work she does as a nurse! :) Who wouldn't want to be treated by her? 

Pinups - Malaika

Here is one of my favorite pinups I've ever done. This is of a good friend Malaika, whom I have known since I was 6 years old!

She is one stunning lady, with a big personality - Malaika! :)

Character Design - Lloyd the Long-Eared Owl

Here is Lloyd. The Long-Eared owl. He's a bit of a drama queen!

My last Character Design project this semester! We had to do min 8 poses, and 8 facial expressions.
Flash and Photoshop.
