Life in Sarasota

Push Pull Animated

Here's the animation, at last! Animated in Maya, composited in Shake.

Self-Caricature

This is me, just in case you don't know what I look like. I'm a really happy person, really.

Lighting Schematic II

Here's the update from below. I took it into Shake and tweaked the colours a fair bit. Completely changed the tones of the warm hues to a colder unwelcoming colour. I added glows and compression to the mid and background to give the room a more musky dusty atmosphere.

Lighting Schematic

About time I got some colour work posted!

This is a rough lighting concept for my next animation. I tried to see how natural light would motivate the scene, dusky is usually pretty atmospheric.

I might try an alternative florescent look to it with cooler blues and greens. More variants coming soon...

Slater Face

Here's an update on my character. I just "finished" the facial expressions with textures. He's almost ready to animate. The rigging process was a nightmare! Ugh! But it all paid off nicely in the end; I know this guy will be fun to animate.

Characters

Love drawing on paper, hate drawing on tablets.

Tablets suck!

3D model

It's about time I posted some 3D work (in progress.)
Still have to make some tweaks, like make the legs a *little* longer and fix the hands n feet.

Character Designs

Ok it's been a few weeks since I posted. College been real busy. Here's some characters I spat out just to keep yis all in suspense!

Figure Drawing

Life drawing, again!

Had Tom Waits pose for a class, it was fun.

Study for Hands

Some rough sketches of hands for my character...

More Doodles from the Met

Character Designs

Some character concepts, perhaps I'll make her in 3D sometime soon...

More Met Drawings..

Drawings at the Met

Some drawings I worked on of Greek statues in the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. They're a little grainy because of the paper grade.

The Weight of the World

A womans world can sometimes be more difficult that a dudes, so if a woman was to step into a guys shoes it prolly look something like this:

Life Drawings

Drawings I did during a session in a New Jersey college. I encourage anyone interested to look into Henry Yan or Mike Mattesi's work, some of my inspirations.
