this weeks theme: Mega Man

2011-08-13T13:30:00.000-07:00

This week was a tough choice but ultimately I chose to redesign Roll.There are waaay too many awesome characters to choose from in that universe and I think she's the only female.

In a futuristic but ancient and industrialized anarchic world dwells creatures of many walks of life. There are many clans, created for protection.
She was once a vagabond now a sword for hire. Her uncanny prowess with the sword made her sought after by tradesmen in need of protection but after a fall out with a client she is now a target.

here is a character I did years ago...i recently redrew him just for kicks. I find redrawing old characters is a good way of seeing just how much you've learned. it would be nice to animate this guy he's alot of fun to draw.

the page at the bottom are the old drawings.

Sunset or setting

2010-01-02T22:38:00.000-08:00

I did cloud or sky paintings for practice. this one was probably the more successful out of the bunch

layout stuff

2009-12-13T00:23:00.000-08:00

thumbnail color studies and exploration...some of which i found was better than my final but thats usually the case. thumbs are hard to reproduce.

scanner overexposed the lightest area in the painting...it's bright in the original just not as bright as u see here. gouche on watercolor papper, color studies were done with pencils

walk n run

2009-12-02T23:20:00.000-08:00

wonderland caricatures

2009-08-29T12:35:00.000-07:00

I've probably done hundreds of caricatures this summer but since I dont have a personal digi cam I haven't been able to document my stuff. this was a demo, so i kept it.

did this one morning for a warm up. thought it was cool. lorenzo caught me while drawing it and got all :| on me. so i kinda didn't finish coloring.

this one was inspired by some dude who didn't want a drawing. he had awesome features so i tried to draw him anyways.
this guy was drawn by Andrea...

and this one was done by Ed

I came across this short film by Michel Gagne on the tube. He's a Sheridan graduate class of 86. My story-boarding prof Maury Whyte showed us his graduating film titled "A touch of deceit". I found it to be quite impressive. This film has an interesting take on the big bang as well as some stunning visuals and was nominated back in the 90's for an annie award which is the animation academy award.

Iron man inspired designs I did a while back when the film came out. Thought the film was well done in terms of visuals, however lacked a bit of credibility in the story category.

this was my character d for my entry portfolio.....he went through a series of transformations b4 arriving at this stage,
