Intro To Animals And Creatures - WK 1 Posing

Working on posing and getting use to the cat rig.  Again, silhouette, line of action, appeal, external/internal reasons all playing a part in making the pose the best it can be.

Intro To Animals And Creatures - WK 1

Week 1, observe and sketch quadruped animals.  These were fun.  I mostly grabbed images off youtube, BBC motion gallery and framepool, and used them for my reference to sketch.  It's really crazy how much these animals are able to stretch and move. Trying to pay attention to appeal, line of action, and of course weight!

I'm Back

Wow, time to update with some work and get this blog flowing again!  Just graduated from AM's character program and jumped right into their Animal's and Creature's program.  I really had a great time with the character program, have some great alumni and mentor's.  I have a ton of cleanup and polish to do on my character pieces for my reel and at the same time trying to understand animal's and creatures.  So it's been busy understanding quadruped locomotion and performance at a pace that is a lot faster then the character program.  So on with the post's, I'll be posting mostly the beginning work from my animal's and creature work off the bat but will add my character pieces in when i start to cleanup and polish them.  Also, going to look for the next Inspiro Award winner and looking forward to adding in segments on what I learned about workflow and animation.

Acting reference for new shot

Working on my acting skills, building the reference for my new shot.  Look out Shakespeare.  Tried to get some subtext in the shot, while trying to stay away from the literal broad obvious gestures.

"I'm a jet pilot?"

So here is my setup for my new shot for polishing and portfolio.  He's a hardworking clown and she's not excited about the fact her dads a clown.

Custom Chucks! Sweeeeet!!!

Blocking in my current shot.  Just thought I would take a snap of my sweet work on Bish's Chucks.  Ahh, shame they wont make it in the shot, but it's gonna make the shot better regardless!
