Pokemon - Swamp Champ


Because even a mudkip can evolve into a total badass.

Anyways, wanted to do some ink practice with Manga Studio, and since I've had this little idea for a Pokemon related art piece, I decided to go ahead and use it as my guinea pig of sorts. Could of did a little better job thinning and bulking up the lines in a few areas, but for my first ever success digital inks, it's not a bad start.

3D Character Animation and Set-Up Projects pt.1

As promised, here are my animations from 3D Character Animation and Set-up. At least the first two since I may have to upload my third video somewhere else due to YouTube's policies on certain copyrighted music in videos. First up is the first project for my class, my little fearful retro robot.

(Had to re-upload because of incorrect video file)


Next is my second project, the grumpy Dr. Eggplant. And to be fair, it's not exactly my best and could have done a whole lot better, especially knowing what I know now regarding rigging and model skinning.

Digital Cell 1 Animations pt.1

Finally got a hold of some of my projects from Digital Cell 1. They are a little unpolished for the moment, but with time, they will all be redone and presentable. Until then, enjoy what I have so far.

First animation I've ever done and in Flash too. Objective was the create animated piece of how to do something, whether serious or humorous.



Ferret character done in Toon Boom and the cat character in Flash. Main objective was to animate two characters talking in the same space. Dialogue taken from the film Knocked Up (which I haven't seen admittedly).



My final project for Digital Cell 1. We were free to do whatever theme or concept we wanted. Mine was personal as it represented some issues I was going through at the time (and still am). Done entirely in Toon Boom.

On a side note, I had done a third animation project for class, but it's an interactive animation. As such, either until I get my main art project site up or find a really good site for uploading flash files, it'll be awhile before it's seen.

3D Character Set-up and Animation Project 2

Another set of concept sketches from 3D Character Animation and Set-Up for project two. This time we had to design our own One-Eyed creature and choose a personality trait, and animating our character acting it out. I choose "grumpy/angry" for mine, and the final design is based on an eggplant. I call him "Dr. Eggplant" because it's so appropriate.






3D Character Set-Up and Animation Project 1

It's been a couple of weeks and I thought I'd show off some work from 3D Character Set-Up and Animation. First up is some concept sketches and one final character sketch of my first project. The objective was to design and animation a retro style robot acting out one principal trait. The trait I end up choosing was "fearful." Will post the full animation soon.






MLP:FIM - Return of the Great and Powerful Trixie


Done in honor of the new episode that just recently came out. Kind of cheated on the colors a bit because I wanted more darker values to invoke more dramatic look I was going for. And since this is more of a personal sketch challenge for me, I'd figured I just go for it. And I really like it came out.

Vritra Maquette - Progress Report

Still working on getting him done. Only just finished his neck a few days ago, and working on the rest of the details as I go. I hope to have him finished way before Christmas.
