New personal project

My contract is pretty much over, one week left.
In the meantime I have already started working on my own piece because there is nothing to do at work.

Here's a picture, Sneak preview of my new work. It is in key posing stage right now.
I'm using two characters. Andy and Alfred. I'll be posting the work as soon as it's done!

French River

Short saturday trip to French River, Ontario

Digital Painting: Skull

I have had a few extra days of free time on my hands so I thought about learning how to paint, using a tablet!
Here's what I have so far

Candle Light

Just a couple pictures

As the title says, I have a new picture and other than the fact that I'm just posting it so my blog gets a new look I found the Squirrel very "Cute"

Steampunk Challenge! Concept 1

I recently entered the latest challenge on CGSociety(our old CGTalk) with a few other New and old Classmates of mine(5 to be exact)

I thought I should post my share of work here.

Sorry for the bad capture quality. hopefully I'll get a tablet soon enough :)

This is a rough Idea of how one of the Secondary Characters will look like.(Head is not shown in there)
I'll upload more once I'm somewhat happy with the results.

Update: Internship

I have worked On Rollbots for the past 7 weeks(my internship), I've included the Teaser which is one of the only things I can show on my blog.
The Show is set to air on 7th Feb 09. hopefully I'll upload what I have worked on then.
My Internship with Elliot Animation will be over This Friday(November 7th) ; I'm currently Seeking employment.

small update

11 Second Club Blocking

I found some free time and energy to do some blocking. I still have no clear idea what I should do for the bird singing part.

below is a render test that I just wanted to share.

I'll probably change some poses as I go along in the process so I improve the timing.
Thanks for watching and let me know what you think :)

11 Second Club Acting Reference

and here's the full reference

Oh Yes!

I'm working on 11sec club this month's challenge and just wanted to share part of my progress here.

An example of how tedious yet fun an animator's life can be:



it's my work flow, might seem a little boring to people watching it but it's a lot of fun for me.
I basically divide the clip to small durations, then think about a concept and after that I'll film myself acting each part separately mainly because it makes it a whole lot easier to act since there are different characters in the clip and I can focus on a smaller parts and do a better job.
I will post the full acting later tonight or tomorrow.
