Portfolio from April. Late Update

Just trying to update blog. This since got be a job at Titmouse painting backgrounds. Need to start getting in the swing of things again and start to do more work like this for myself.

Pitt River - Virtual Plein Air

Oldish painting I had done for the Virtual Plein Air group on FB. Thought it deserved to sit here too. This is Pitt River just outside of the city where I live.

Kettle

This was mainly a lighting exercise, but also presented fun problems to fix with the mesh and making that work. The main body is all seamless mesh, so that was fun!

Drone

 Heres a robot I modelled last month, catching up on old posts. Kind of inspired by the Big Hero 6 that came out recently. Fun to do, still learning.

Globetrotter Suitcase from Skyfall

New 3D sculpt I did based off of the Globetrotter suitcase James Bond used in Skyfall. First attempt doing dramatic lighting, I think it kinda worked out alright, still haven't learnt anything on the matter though. Wish I could've gotten the metal more mirrored though.

Radio Telescope

First aniamtion I exported from maya, and third model I did. I think. Anyway, original image from here.

3D Eyeball

Learning how to do 3D from the old class tutorial videos from Cap. Having fun!

Alien Character Design

Alien character design from a story I am working on... "Hair" is loosely based on a secretary bird, and design is taking inspiration from Matt Rhodes, who did lots of the concepts for Bioware. Tried to do more of a 3D rendering for it.

Digital Animation Final

This is the almost final version of my Digital Animation final project, done in ToonBoom and After Effects or some final touches. Relatively happy with it, although the more I watch it the more I see it can improve. Will probably touch it up if I decide to include it in my grad reel. Learned a lot though, and ended up enjoying the process!

Edit:

Thought I'd add the design I had made for this.

Daffy Animation

Final animation project for traditional class. First warner brothers character, fun to animate the over the topness of him.

Life Drawing from Semester 3

An assortment of my best life drawing from this year. I'm improving a bit, just not as much as I'd like to, but thats what practice is for : P

Layout Project 4 - Final

Process and idea shots for my final layout project. Pretty happy with it, my best layout so far I think, looking forward to doing more next semester.

Lilo Animation

Lilo is haaaard to draw :l

Layout Project 3

These are my rough value sketches for the project - first based off of the "Walled City of Kowloon" (terrible, bit off way more than I could chew), second, a parisian bistro, third, generic ski plaza based of of Whistler. End up liking these more than the later versions for somer reason...

Cleaned up a little bit, prof said the slope needed more compositional strength, and that the figurines were distracting... 

Final cleanup, so so happy with it.
