Film poster

My final film is slowly coming together… still, but hey ho, here’s the official film poster! I may still change a few things on this as its kind of a rushed job for a deadline, but it looks pretty enough for now.

Walkies

Recently Ive had literally no time to draw with all this constant animating. Trying to get all the rough animation for my final film done by May and hopefully it should all be finished and ready to hit the festivals by the beginning of June. Im looking to get a trailer cut quite soon as well... WOOO! Im looking into setting up a crowdfunder to try and raise money for the hefty price tag CalArts is charging where i'll be giving away signed prints, caricatures, DVD's of my films and much more in exchange for donations, so keep an eye out for that guys!!!

Here's me playing around with the pencil and watercolour brushes in tv paint resulting in a dog walk cycle for funsies because i got a little bored :) until next time...

updated the ol' portfolio a little

threw in some new things over on my portfolio blog HERE. hopefully i'll throw some new things on here soon.

I GOT ACCEPTED IN TO CALARTS FVAKHFJASKDJFBASDBKF!!!!!!

After all the hard work busting my ass for the past 2 and a bit years… I’VE ACTUALLY BEEN ACCEPTED INTO CALARTS!!!!!! SOOO freaking happy right now!!!! if i can some how manage to get some funding together, i am officially moving to California!!! i don’t suppose anyones got a spare 30 grand laying around do they??

Sketch Dailies: Troll

Now that my Sky ARTS ident is pretty much finished, i can get back to my final film again. but first... a little drawing time to treat myself. Here’s a troll for the Sketch Dailies thing. it kind of evolved into more of a caveman troll sort of thing, but hey, thats the fun of sketching.

Final Film Concept Art

Here's a final look piece of concept art for my final film. The art style is heavily inspired by the latest Mickey shorts. Im pretty happy with the stylisation of this concept, so hopefully the final result will look similar or even better :)

Playing with exaggeration

Before i start animating my final film, i wanted to play around with the facial structure of one of my films characters. I kept away from the character sheet and just focused on pushing and pulling the expression. I knew i could push the squash and stretch a lot more so I decided to try and see how far i could go. Hopefully i’ll try and exaggerate it some more, as thats my main aim for my character animation this year.

Expression stuff again

still playing with expressions in between storyboarding. studied a lot of Jin Kim’s work for some help with these. hopefully an animatic will be finished by the end of this week ready to start animating :D
