CGMA - Character Design For Animation - Week 3

  Yar! Week 3! This week's assignment was using basic shapes and incorporating them into 3 pirate characters while creating a character line up. This image was hard work near the end (for it was another full week of work) but the push felt good and I think it turned out well. The wily granny pirate is my favorite (: .

CGMA - Character Design For Animation - Week 2

  Here we are, into week two! The assignment for this week was creating a medieval crusader(s) from the simple shapes that we used from week one: rectangle, circle, and square. We could use any shape, or all three. I chose just the circle and square. We were then to incorporate those basic shapes throughout our character designs. I went silly with this one and had the round bubbly crusader wield a dashing balloon sword again the square young crusader-in-training. I like the tools and brushes I used in Photoshop to create this image. :)

CGMA - Character Design For Animation - Week 1

   Hurray! Yet another online classroom I venture into! Exciting! :D This time I am being taught by the talented Nate Wragg. The first week assignment was to create a monster from one of the three simple shapes: circle, triangle, or square. I chose... all three. I wanted double that to six monsters, but I worked about 45hrs this week and just didn't have enough time. There were a lot of shape sketches, believe me...

Snow Comic

  Well, first off, I am sorry to disappoint, but the snow WAS animated and pretty and falling down, but due to technical complications, I can not post such evidence... *sigh*. Never the less, here is my image, created entire in CS5 Flash. I am rusty, so it took some time. A co-worker provided the script/idea and I gave it visual life.

New Website - Up and Running!

Character Design II - Lesson 8 [Kids]

  So technically this is the last assignment that I will submit for my Character Design II class, because the last assignment is submitting our portfolios to Stephen Silver and he will give us feedback, tips, and advice. So sad that once again Schoolism classes come to an end... but I am richer with knowledge and experience, so that's alright (: . Anywho, this "last" assign is involves creating four different 15-16 year old kids (grade 10 students, essentially). One is an athlete, one is a bully, one is shy, and one is smart. I like the style in which I finished these off and I hope you do too! 

Character Design II - Lesson 7 [Animal Character Design]

 Lesson 7, and we're almost at the end of the course. So very sad, I do really enjoy art schooling and gaining knowledge from the professionals (: . This lesson was taking a famous person and pretty much making them into an animal of my choice. I chose the star Mo'Nique because I like her sassy-ness in her characters and I made her into a bootylicious kitty.
