animatin'

I arbitrarily promised myself I'd post something today, after neglecting to for one month and 13 days. So here's an unfinished gangster walk (of a gangster) that I did at the beginning of the year.



And then a little thing I did today.



There's a CG test coming soon too! I suck at finishing stuff.

Animation Practice

(Character copyrighted by Valve, obviously)


I found some awesome Team Fortress 2 rigs earlier, and I just got around to making my first little test with one of them. The rigs are really nice, too - with all the IK/FK switcheroos we nerds could ever dream of. And we do. A lot.

I woke up one morning to find all my desktop icons were cleared out, replaced by one mysterious video. I don't quite to know to make of it, but it's pretty spooky.

Work

So this summer I managed to land myself a gig doing this banner for an 'insurance lead finding' company's website.

I have no idea what that means or even what they do - but thankfully, I'm just an artist so I don't have to understand, 'real world' things such as these. All I have to do is dick around in After Effects until my eyes bleed. Ah, bliss.


Sidenote: This thing really needs shoowshy sound effects. Please make them at your discretion. 

Tahoe

I went to Tahoe earlier their summer. It was rather majestic!

I don't really know how to paint or anything, so this will have to do. Click to embiggen!

I can bear this no longer

The other day, my friend told me that she wanted to help me color a little animation I made. Of a bear.

I was thrilled! 

 I think she did a great job.

Thanks, friend. The artistic flame burns within you!

Dorks

This week over on our CalArts group blog, Doodlepoops, we did each other. Caricatures, that is.

Like I said there, my friend Louise is a huge, freakin', ginormous nerd who watches too much Battlestar Galactica.

As am I. Here's to nerds.

Because nobody else will understand this reference at all.
