Flour Sack

Sneaky!

Argus

This is a character that I have been working on for a class project. I wrote a story about him for a story development class. Basically, he is a tree guardian and he patrols a section of a forest to make sure that all of the trees are healthy. Here is the original sketch:

After reworking him a few times, here is the character turn around model sheet:

I will post some more characters from the story soon!

Animation Beginnings

So I have been neglecting this blog lately, but I have a good reason for it! I just started my Masters program for 3D animation at the Academy of Art University. It has been keeping me very busy. I have little time to illustrate right now, as I am learning the ins and outs of animation basics. I am only a few weeks into the program, and I have been learning basic animation principles and doing some studies using traditional animation. I promise I will be posting more illustrations and sketches when I manage to squeeze some in between all of my other work.

For now, here are a couple of studies I did recently.

Stay tuned! Soon I will hopefully start uploading new (and more interesting) things. :)
