Posting Dont Pay For My Froot Loops!!

Hey fellow bloggers! Ive been super busy with school and my new job at Oddbot, as a Assistant/designer/ storyboard artist. Its fun and the artist there are the tits! Im learning new things everyday, thanks to Chris Hamilton, who took me under his wing and for giving me a chance. hes a hell of a guy and one of the best bosses Ive ever had. Shout outs to Todd Oman whose skills are off the roof! A lot of inspiration at that studio!

Anyways heres my flash animation, Monster P.D., that I finished in 15 hours. I got best of quarter for it, but I think it was mostly for design and not animation. Its still work in progress and its going to be 100 times better, and longer when its done in March!



This one Im doing for my Advanced Animation class that I have this Quarter.Its an animatic and I got the dialogue from "Liar Liar". Ill post it up when its done.







Till next time kids!!

"A SAILOR'S TALE"

WHAT UP FELLOW BLOGGERS??

So today during class, I was "so-called" meditating, but I usually draw or think what I want to draw. But any who, as i "meditated" i came up with this idea for a short,where an old sailor is telling his story of his younger days to some kids(but in a twisted John K way)and as soon as I saw the images pop up in my head i wrote them down, then a short while after i drew them. Im still working on the story and the character designs, but I want to do this short fast, maybe in a month and a half. wish me luck.

This is the old sailor, messing with different costumes and what not, but I

like his design, so I'm gonna stick with it. I still dont have a name for him, maybe

you kids can help me with that.

Ahh and this is the same sailor, but in his younger days where he fought Nazis, Giant Squids, Spies, Dinosaur's, Giant Samurai robot, and other fun stuff. As you can tell, still work in progress, I really dig his torso, but I still havent found the right arms or face for him. But the one thing he is going to have is all those tattoos!! Yay for ink!!

My inspiration

My beautiful girlfriend Cristy
I love you baby! she keeps me drawing.

Animation

This is a short animation I did for my Character Animation class, using Maya, i got Runner up for this sucker...woop woop. Okay so the assigntment was to do a 60-90 frame animation in the Warner Bros. style, and giving the ball personality. hope you all dig it.




I did this 2 years ago, or maybe 3, cant remember.It was my second time animating, so thats why its pretty crappy. enjoy.

LOOK CLOSER

If you look closer you can see my faces in the skulls eyes, middle of flowers, and the most obvious the teeth. I had fun doing this, and plan to do some more just for fun. And ill like to thank everyone who leaves me comments, thank you, you keep me drawing.

WOOP WOOP New post

Instead of taking notes in class I draw... God I hope I

picked the right major!!

I draw naked girls on my notes!!!

I was on a Greaser/ Biker dood mood yesterday.

New Quarter! New Instructors! New Work!

So today was my first day of my new quarter at school, and so far I'm pretty excited. My morning class is going to be fun! Im taking 3D Character Animation with one of the best Animators working out in the industry, David J. Sung. Hes done work on God of War,Charlottes Web, Iron Man (still in production), and many, many more. Ive been lucky to have been in his class before for my intro to 3d Animation in 3D Max, and oh man, that was a tough class! I think hes one the best instructors at my school and the school is really lucky to have him. So anyways I'm really excited because for our final we have to make a 20 second cartoony animation in the old Warner Bros. style!!! Dope....so that means I get to use any style, from Tex Avery to Bob Clampett, Chuck jones to Friz Freleng!!! I already started thumbnails for this baby!! Any ways Its just my first day, I still have 2 more days left of brand new boring classes, Like Rigging, Compositing 2, and Character Modeling( well maybe not this one, I hope to learn something!!)

Anyways heres some work I've been doing for my Gf elementary. Im redesigning their mascot!! WOOP WOOP! How fun. SO this is a Rough stage, its not the final design but it looks 100 times better than the one before. This is my warm up before I go into battle!!

Some old stuff

This is from an old short I was working on,OLLIN: LEGEND OF THE FIFTH SUN, which didnt really have a story just action scenes!!! But YOu might still see this guy in the future...maybe as a 3d character??? Maybe My apologies to Mike Mignola

This is way before my Photoshop and Flash days.

A futuristic biker chick inspired by Batman Beyond and Hellboy(before the movie).
My Paper boy sketches for my short Moster P.D., (stillin production) You'll see him in my demo reel...my baby!
