Outfits

Something I thought about a while back. Still working on the final concept for his out fit and everything.

UV's

They are finally done. All perfectly adjusted by hand. Not that I'm complaining or anything but it was a bit of a process.

Progress

Finally finished the entire skin of the Giant for my animation. Next is UV mapping and adding the textures.

Character Concepts

So I'm starting to develop a new major animation. Something I can put in my portfolio and hopefully land a job with. I'm being very thorough with my planning. I want to make sure I make this to the best of my abilities. Here's some concepts I worked out. I'll be choosing one of these and then go from there.

They are all in their underwear just for now. I will be adding clothes later on.

Dialogue Practice

Something I've been meaning to try.

Something I'm working on for a competition at cghub.

Final Work

This is my final piece from my 3D class in Australia.

New Project

New project I'm working on. I started out with a sound clip of dialogue and I'm working backwards. Came up with a character that I think fits the voice.

Practice

Just a few sketches I did in my sketch book and then digitally colored.

Intro Credits

This is the second phase from my latest semester. Credits for the beginning of my cut scene.

A story board for a past project that was never completed.

Stills

Some stills from the animation.

Overdo

Just adding some older 3D modeling assignments. I like seeing how much better I've gotten.
These are from last summer. Just beginning my skills in Maya.

Australia Sketches

Here are some of the sketches that I did while living in Australia. I started practicing more faces because I had someone ask me to do a portrait of their friend in the same way that I did the marker faces. I told them that I didn't have the markers to do it and I wasn't good enough with pencil to achieve the same result. That kinda made me feel like I was lacking, so I shaped up. One night when I was rendering in the wee hours of the morning I got a bit bored and started practicing faces. I discovered a pretty good routine as to how to get a similar result and now I constantly do them. These are all from pictures I've found online, they take about 20-30minutes and they're all done with led pencil.

Back Home

So I'm now back at home in Maryland. I'm pretty jet lagged and as I type this I'm literally falling asleep but this needs to be done. I finally have my good ol' wifi back and can now post my animations from my latest semester. I have 3 total a character turn table, Intro credits, and my cut scene. I still want to tweak them a little but I may hold that off for a bit. I wanna start fresh now that I'm back work on something different before school starts. Let me know what you think. Here's the first, Ralph.

Study Abroad

So I'm finally done Uni. I turned in my last project yesterday afternoon. I am very happy with the result that I've got. I still want to do some tweaks to it before I upload it online but for now I'm not thinking about anything. I can finally relax in Australia with no worries :).

End of the Semester

So I am finally getting to the end of my classes. Sad, I know I wish I could prolong my stay but that's just not possible. I've completed 2 final projects already and I have 1 more to go. The cut scene is the last and so far I love how it's turning out. I've been working on it everyday this month. It's due this Friday but I may need an extension until the following Wednesday. Hopefully, I can make it happen.
