Final Anijam project

The first semester has come to a close. Just in time... I need a break! Our final project for Animation drawing was to create a 4 second dance, and each person had to morph their character from the previous one. If someone/anyone from our class posts the full thing on youtube, I'll be sure to link it.

This didn't quite turn out as well as I'd like... But it was a great learning experience! PS. That's Arthur's best impression of Estelle Costanza... It's pretty awesome, in my opinion.

17th Century French Aristocrat

Character Design: Research! We had 5 to choose from, I ended up picking the "17th Century French Aristocratic Woman" 

Kronk Walk

Animation Assignment: Walk, turn, walk, get on box, jump off, run. Seems easier than it actually was. 

Bruce Timm Batman Villain

Character Design: Bruce Timm Batman Animated Series

We had to come up with our own design that would fit in with the Bruce Timm style. The Villain I came up with was "The Pedlar"

Halloween Maquette

He still needs to be baked and painted, so stay tuned... I'll get to it when I have a bit of time. Maybe Christmas break? Good thing he's not too Halloween-y!

My design: 

(He's a nintendo wizard) here is his description:

He’s normally a withdrawn, quiet type that gets picked on in class. He’s overweight and a sloppy dresser. When he’s not playing video games on the computer, he’s in front of the television. He’s the epitome of the lazy overweight North American child. But Halloween is his time to shine. One night out of the year (because any other night his mom won’t let him wear the outfit) he becomes… the Wizard! Donning his cape and Nintendo staff, glove and gun holster, he heads into the night to thwart evil doers with his Nintendo-magic.  His normally shy demeanor is replaced by bold and confident kung-fu moves! (Why does a wizard know Kung fu? – No matter!) On October 31 - the wizard is somewhere out there. Fighting for justice for video game nerds long until his 9 O’clock curfew.

The Maquette:

My "I've never blogged before" Post!

Ok so this is my first post and it's way overdue. This was my application to the Capilano University commercial animation program... I applied in April, it's now October. Go me!
