Here is what i submitted. I might still go back and tweak some things for future use - I'm not sure how i feel about it yet... I've been staring at it for too long.

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.

11 second club WIP

Here is some blocking for the first part of my 11 second club entry this month. I also started inbetweening yesterday. Any criticisms would be helpful!

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:

NOSE:

Stuffed and glued on:

Amelia Earhart comic

Here's a little concept image i did today for a possible side project. It would be a comic about Amelia Earhart's disappearance in 1937. There may be time travel involved...

Climbing...

My film is finally coming together...

This is a still from one of the longer scenes - might still add some detailing to the BG if I have time (probably wont). But, I'm going for a dreary depression type of mood, so boring BG's kinda help.

Gerry's Last Class...

This marks the end of my fourth year life drawing classes in Animation. Plus its the very last class Gerry Zeldin taught before he goes on sabbatical in January. It was a fun semester and I learned a great deal from both Gerry and Mark.

Goodbye Gerry!
