Sketch Sessions

We have sketch sessions once a week where I work. Here are some of my drawings!

11 Second Club WIP part 2

So, I finished inbetweening this shot up on the weekend. I edited out a few poses - for the better i think. I also added a cup to hide the jitter I was getting with the elbow - hehe. If anyone knows how to lock an elbow in place with this rig, please let me know. Best I could do was parent the controller to the table. Anyway, as usual - any comments are appreciated.

Muppet Round 2

This time i wanted to try a more professional approach to making a muppet. So, i formed the shape of the head before any fabric was added. I ended up with this snake-like swamp creature thing:

I MADE A MUPPET!

In anticipation for Jason Segel's new Muppet movie - I decided to make my own muppet. I've also been watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall a bunch... Anyway, I found some tutorials and mixed and matched them to make what i wanted.

I took pictures as i went:

Cut it out and flipped it inside out:

Made mouth board with cardboard and felt then I glued it in. I also stuffed the arms.

Sculpted foam to stuff the head:
