3D Walk Cycle

This is my first attempt at character animation on a 3D program, and I rather enjoyed it, I see a few things I would like to tweak up and will do so and try to post that one up, and I should also find out the proper way to export the file.
This is a front view up shot of my 3D Walk Cycle.

Caricatures and Sketches

Here are some Caricatures, and Sketches I've done of friends, teachers, people in the caff and doctors office, life drawing models, inatimate objects, aliens, myself as a crossdressing prostitute with a bowlingball up the skirt, and Eric Goldberg since starting school, ive compiled them all into a few pages so here they are.


Action Analysis

So one of the big assignments we are doing this year, is an action analysis assignment it mixes in animation, layout and even a bit of story. For my action analysis I wanted to have a baseball player swinging a bat.
First I have my concepts for layout, which would be a baseball field, thought I would have my player playing for the big leagues, so the field would have to look quite big and fancy.

Second is an idea I had for a pan but now am thinking of a different idea, which would work better I think

Third is my thumbnail for my animation, more or less what my character will be doing. And also some character poses in the bottom, to show more or less the characters final look.

New Character Designs

These are a few new Character Designs I've done for school so far.
First up is Lary, he is a 'special' monster, that enjoys urinating on people, he has crab hands, a pickeled body, and refuses to wear clothes.

Second is Chad and Amy they are a highschool couple, Chad is a non-stereotypical jock that plays for the football team, and only has eyes for his girl Amy, and Amy is a sweet cheerleader that has the heart of gold, and gets frightened easily.

Third is Burrito Man, he is an energetic Mexican dressed in a taco suit, to promote his business of Taco's and Burritos.

Fourth is Gary and Sock Girl, Gary is a 12 year old boy that has braces and head gear, thinks he is a super hero, and has a sock puppet for a girlfriend, Sock Girl is Garys girlfriend, she is very energetic, funny, loves Gary very much, and if you didn't know better you would think she were real to.

Fifth is Granny, she is Larys grandmother. She is a monster created by scientists, that were trying to splice the genes of an octopus with a slug, but a pickle fell in and Granny was born, she enjoys baking placenta chip cookies, watching her monster soaps, and knitting sweaters out of kittens.

Last is a concept design of Chads car, I figured it would be an old car with a few dents and scratches that his parents chipped in to buy him.

Steven Gerrard

This is a drawing I did for a friend, since he loves soccer and his favourite team is Liverpool, he wanted me to do a drawing of Gerrard taking a free kick, I was going to make this quite cartoony, but wasn't sure how I would approach the intense leg muscles of a soccer player in a cartoony fashion, so I tried it in this style, he liked it so i went along with it to this final, let you know I didnt free hand draw the Liverpool logo in the bottom left I traced it from a picture of it, but i did draw the ones on the jersey myself.

Taylor Swift

So I was going to start doing caricatures of people again, and I was going to start it off with Taylor Swift, and while trying to figure out how her facial features looked, this sketchy portrait started unveiling itself, so I decided to post it, I'll possibly post the caricature if it comes out half decent to, and I think I just might paint this but we'll see. I wanted to draw Taylor Swift in the first place cause she is so damn beautiful, and humble.

My Puppy Cujo

This is a digital painting I did of my dog Cujo, and I entered it in sketchaholics contest, where we had to draw something under the topic, 'Family Dog' this took me quite a while to do kinda lost track of the time since I started last night and finished today, and I did it on Alias Sketchbook pro.

Happy Baby Expressions

So I just started working on a few expressions from the character I created from my last post, I did a few quick and simple expressions; happy, mad, and a cute puppy dog face. I kinda like how I tried getting a bit of the body and shoulders into showing the expression, even though the actually facial expressions aren't pushed to far, but I feel like this characters face can only be pushed so far before it starts looking weird? Let me know what you think.

Happy Baby With Ducky Diapers

So I've been doing a lot of caricatures lately but I've been missing out on actual caracter design, in possing and expressions, so I decided to design a caracter first off, which I went with a baby in diapers, and I kinda like this design, so I'm just posting the design, and I'm going to get started on some expressions, and poses soon, and if I like the result of them I'll post them up. I just changed the head of this character and made it look a lot better, in my opinion. Just noticed a while after posting this that it very much a more detailed better looking version of the kid character I used for my walk animation.
