Animation - Flour Sack and Wine

This is my final Animation exercise at Sheridan year 1. It was the good ol' classic flour sack exercise. We had to pick a prop off a list on the board and animate our Sack interacting with it. I chose Wine... because I could relate. :)

This animation was partly inspired by my trip to the Yarra Valley near Melbourne Australia, where I first got a chance to see some awesome vineyards up close and personal. This is where a good family friend, Aaron Skovell, being a professional, gave us a very informative tour. To be frank I think we went to 4... 5, no wait, 6, vineyards? Yes... you can see where this is going!

The stack of paper for this animation was pretty massive. I was supposed to do only 15 seconds, but finally I ended up pushing 30 seconds. In case you're curious, here's the amount of paper:

Even with ALL that... I didn't finish what I wanted to do! So the ending is just a pose test of what would have happened. I promised myself that I would finish it over the summer. We'll see if that happens!

Enjoy!

And as always, some cute stills.

Animation - Cat Bot - Section Animation

So far Animation class, one of our last projects was to animate a section of the Pose Test that we did for Character Design. You can find my Pose Test in an earlier post here:

I chose the section where he gets hit in the head! If I have more time this summer, I will animate the rest of it, because I had a lot of fun!

Enjoy! Classical 2d Animation on paper!

And my favorite still! ^_^

Caricatures - La BKRY - Natasha's Graduation!

A while ago I posted my Logo/Caricature of Natasha Bouchard's "La BKRY" character!

Now, after 6 months of crazy intense learning/work, she finally graduated from the Christian Faure school of Patisserie, and comissioned this lovely new cariacture sporting her hard-won chef's whites!

A lovely client as always, I'm so proud of her and had a great time drawing this!

If you feel like tasting (or just oogling) some of her pasty creations you can check out her Facebook Page:

Pinups - Nikki

New lovely commission delivered to a new customer from my Etsy Shop! :D

This sexy self-proclaim geek specifically requested a UFO to glow the X from Xfiles, to be holding a Jareth the Goblin King plushie, and a Boba Fett helmet at her feet.

I love how it came out! It was SO much fun to do, and such a lovely client! ^_^
