CGMA - Character Design For Animation - Week 5

  Back again with Week Number 5! This assignment dealt with drawing two (or more) characters interacting on a bench, sort of a telling a story in an image. I chose to go far out (way far out) and made my scene on the moon at a local alien bus stop. A wandering explorer from Earth accidentally stumbles upon this gaggle of aliens waiting for the next bus and is.. a bit stunned...

CGMA - Character Design For Animation - Week 4

   So sorry for the delay on posting assignments! It's been a busy couple of weeks. For this assignment we had to draw librarian heads. In my picture, I made a chipper librarian surrounded by more seasoned, stereotypical librarians. Commence awkwardness...

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.
