Let the ideas begin!

now with films done I’m gonna upload more stuff/doodles.  I think pretty soon I’ll also start developing some concept work for a short or two I’ll try to be doing this summer!  I’m thinking about seeing if I can get a group of people together to make a more polished film or concept trailer!  I think it’d be a cool thing to try to do since this is basically gonna be my last summer before I need to find a real job.

medieval-y

I've been watching Game of Thrones, The Tudors, and Vikings.

It's making me want to draw lots and lots of knights and barbarians.

but I'm concerned these little sketches mean I'm not spending enough time with my film. 

Back to work!!!!

another doodle

Some doodles to keep this blog alive!

Films are almost due guys!!!

Some notes

Here are some quick notes I gave to a friend about how I handle gesture drawing in general.

They're not much and the drawings aren't the greatest since I'm focused on other things but I thought I'd share in case anybody out there finds this useful.

here's the general progression of how I began gesture drawings.

starting from when I just drew what I saw to getting more into story sketching.

Design was discussed a little bit but I didn't get into it too much since I don't think I'm the person to be talking to about that just yet.

you might need to open the image in a tab and zoom in if you're using blogger's lightbox.

And then a couple quick sketches to illustrate giving a character some context in gestures through backgrounds. 

anyways, hope that helps somebody out there in the world.  If not I'll just see myself out...

Here's another BG from my film!

I really wish I had improved my work ethic sooner because I really want to spend more time on these things.  Now my BGs and Animations are barely passable and even so I'm worried I won't finish.

An Unfortunate Misunderstanding

Just a really quick thing I did last night after my previous post.

what goes on in my mind

basically a constant nightmare that goes on in my head while I work.

Kaboom!

Man, I keep forgetting to post stuff on my blog!

Here's a glimpse of some of the stuff I did during the weekend.

Some character doodles and beat boards.

The space girl isn't the main character.

She's just the most fun to draw because she likes blowing stuff up.

film stuff

a little something from my film. 

It gives nothing away and it might  be difficult to even tell what this is!
so.... really I hope this looks a lot better than what it is if that redeems me.

Foreground elements and lighting still missing as I'm having trouble with those right now.

After Effects is really something I should and want to learn.

So much to learn!

you miss this?

It's been a while since I've posted gestures!  

I know how badly you guys want this hahaha

some of the 30 second ones might be old because I'm piecing them together real quick for a portfolio.  But the 3 minute poses are all new-ish so I'm pretty sure it's new to you guys

and some car doodles I did a while back during one of the friday lectures.

and one of my film characters complimenting myself on my drawings 

The last of the robots!

Here's the last 2 robots from robot week!

robot week!

I've been drawing a robot every day this week on my tumblr!

They each have a little description that comes with it for context.  I'll just put the first one down and just the names for the rest.

“I’m dancing but I feel no joy.  What’s the point in life if I only do what I’ve been made to do? Everything’s pointless.”
