Nature Animation - Wind



An animation that was to fit with certain a set of criteria.

It was to have a nature theme and has a set of looping animation included. It was also to have music.

This one was a wind themed animation.

I'm pretty happy with the stylized animation in this pieced.

I don't feel this one came out quite as well as I would have liked, but all in all I find the colours work well. I quite like the trees.

I'd like to work on more pieces with a style like this.

Music used: Flower Fields Rondo, copy right Paper Mario, Nintendo.

Nature Animation - Water



An animation that was to fit with certain a set of criteria.

It was to have a nature theme and has a set of looping animation included. It was also to have music.

This one was a water themed animation.

I'm very happy with the stylized animation in this piece.
I think the bright colours and looping lines really portray my style well.

I'd like to work on more pieces with a style like this.

Music used: Flower Fields Rondo, copy right Paper Mario, Nintendo.

Final Run And Jump



One of my earliest pieces from second year, the Run and Jump assignment.

I'm not too thrilled with how the running segment turned out, but I'm posting this because I was really pleased with how the Jump half of it looks.

I got a lot of praise for the extra effort I put in by adding the sparkles to the jump.
I like adding little things like that.

It also made my classmates laugh, so that really had me happy, especially for a 4 second clip!

Action Analysis 1



Another animation from my first year.

I'm including this because I really enjoyed working on it.

I feel that I made the character seem believable.

But mainly I enjoyed working on the stylized backgrounds.

Having animation in it added an extra touch!

Early 2 Leg Walk Test



One of my earlier animations, from first year.
It's very basic and I've come a ways from this early start, but I think it's important to be able to look back at older work and strive to improve.

Plus a little personal reference never hurt!

Sitting Figure


This is the latest assignment for my Digital Illustration class.

We were all given specific artists in our Life Drawing Class, and were to make two paintings.

One with Traditional Media for Life Drawing, and one in Digital Media for our Digital Illustration class.

The artist I was give was Eugène Delacroix.

Apparently we were each give our Masters Artist for a specific reason. I'm eager to find out why.

As for the piece itself, I'm very happy with it.

It didn't take quite as long as I would have though, I did this on just one sitting, which also explains why my background isn't too much besides colour.

But I really like the colour I used, as well as how the folds on the fabric turned out.

The eye stands out more than I'd like it too, but all in all, I'm very pleased with it.

Flower Arch

Another newer piece I did for fun. I wanted to go for more of a different look, focusing on darker outlines and brighter colours.

That's probably why I don't find the line art as smooth as I usually have.
I had never really used a textured brush before, so I found that it had a good effect as a background item.

I'd like to try using more in the future.
