Global Game Jam

This piece is a concept painting I did in Photoshop for the background of our Game Jam Game.

This piece is the painting we actually used for the background. I animated the organs to all pulsate as well. Hopefully I'll be able to show it on here sometime. =) 

The Game Jam was a lot of fun. We participated in the Jam at Loogaroo animation studio here in Miramichi. I got to work with some very talented people and I learned a lot. I can't wait for the next one!

Layout and Scan

A layout before revisions and a scan of my cat.

Emily Hanes

For the drawing jam over at Tara's drawing jam.

Muscle Heads

We had to draw the muscles under the face... Spooky.

Kiss Drawing Jam

A couple of drawing jams... the theme was Kiss. There was no chosen style, so I just tried to cartoonify them. I may print out some style refs for the next one.

Some Characters

 Here are a couple of super characters (hero and villain) that we had to do for Character Design.

I have been working on my skeletons since.

This One is for Craig

Tangled

 I loved Tangled. I hope the new animation developments they made while making that movie will allow me to have more opportunities in the animation workforce. =)

Super Heroes

 A gift for a friend. Done in Photoshop CS3 with an Intuos3 Wacom Tablet.

Figure Drawing

Some Illustrations

Some scans out of my sketchbook.

  This drawing is of "Star" from the first season of the show, "The Tester". I know most people didn't like her, but I thought she had a good attitude. So there.

More Drawing Jams

 The theme this time round is Labyrinth in the style of The Last Unicorn!!

Camp Kids Revised

 I worked again on my camp kids. I'm also doing a head rotation of the oldest character. I will try to put it up here when I'm done.

Character Design

 Here are some character designs I worked on so far this semester. It's hard to do, but I'm having so much fun here.

 Camp kids. They are underwater kids, the young ones are 8 and the older one is 13. She's trying to teach them how to make bubbles.

More from the Sketchbook

^^ For Tara's drawing jam. White Stripes. ^^

Tara's drawing Jam

Done for Tara's Drawing Jam for class.

Scans from my Sketchbook

These are all scans from my Storyboard Class sketchbook. (Don't look at these til Oct.20th, Tara!)

They're all done with Touch brand markers. They were first sketched with col-erase pencil (blue or purple) and in some cases outlined with Faber-Castell fine markers. I used a bit of crayola marker and some other markers in some of them (like Pro-marker and Prismacolor)....

I feel like I'm getting a better hang of markers! These aren't in any order in particular. They were all done in the past couple of weeks except for the Tom Green one. 

For most of them I used reference photos.

 

^^This is the Tom Green one, aka the oldest one in this post.^^

Kaysar

 Designed a character for Screenwriting class. Lots of room for improvement, which is great. =)

Drawing Jam

Done for Tara's drawing jam! Desperate housewife in Invader Zim style...

First week

Something I did for Tara's Drawing Jam. Tom Green in the style of Scott Pilgrim.

My first character design. Done from a description from a classmate and in the style of "Lilo and Stitch".

POST 100

Well, so this is my 100th post. (EDIT JAN. 12, 2012 - This is no longer my 100th post due to some post deleting for cleaning purposes!)    I figured since I just began animation school, that I would post all the things I've done before I started classes. These pieces were mostly done in Newfoundland. A lot were done during the 24 Hour Art Marathon in St. John's. I taught a workshop while I was there about artmaking and idea application. It went pretty well and I think people had fun. Enjoy!

 

This was made during Benjamin Allain's artist workshop. We had to draw on pre-made coffee spills. We drew what we saw in the spill. I saw an elk thing and some skulls.

This is a concept for an acrylic painting. I don't know if I'll ever get time to paint it, but I enjoy the watercolour sketches I did for it.

This final image was done because I was listening to the song, "Here in My Room" by Incubus.

HAPPY 100th!

Now hopefully you'll see some serious improvement. Onward to Animation Classes!
