figural drawings

By now, its pretty apparent that i'm a lot more interested in drawing figures than backgrounds. In particular, for the last few years, i've been pretty obsessed with the recombination of parts of animals. Here's one i particularly like.

Water Sleeves~01

Hey, so i said i would update you guys on whats happening, so here's a painting i'm working on.....Let's just hope it turns out well.

It will be done in watercolor. I didn't wash out the sizing because i want the paint to sit on top of the paper ant not soak in so much. This isn't so great for longevity but i am also looking forward to the blotchiness and surface mistakes that should appear.


This is the original sketch in my sketchbook in an attempt to keep the actual painting fresh.

Sketchbook '04

In no particular order, some old sketches from 2004.

Oooooh~ Baby!

so, i just got my very first mac. It's refurbed, but i just received it yesterday at 1:20 PM. Yes i'm that excited that i recorded the time. Even though it's a refurb, it seems to be just dandy. Its a 15 inch macbook pro 2.33GB. So far i've tried out most things but the cd drive.....I've also dled modo onto it...whoo hoo, anyway, i should be uploaded some yummy tidbits on what i've been working on soon enough.

Tah!

note: the above is the picture the mac startup had me take. Decent camera for vid conferencing.

Weave

Hey guys, this is some really old work that i did back in my days at Parsons. It was my senior project in the animation and illustration department. I never finished the animaton to my liking, but i do like what is there.

I started out with some sketches of the characters to get a better idea of their personality. This actually helps develop the story a lot more. I had an entire sketchbook devoted to this project. These are only a few of the sketches.







These are a few 360 turn arounds.

This character is the one that started the story for me even though it only appears on screen for 2 minutes. The final color i went with was the light tan.



The main character Simon.



This is Liad, one of Simon's classmates.



The whole story actually follows the boy Simon from the age of 8 until he's 14 or so. However, it was impossible for me to fully animate all of it and i only did a mood piece for it.

Hey, so this is a spot on Telemundo to promote the show Quinceaneara. All rights to this video is property of Telemundo/NBC of course.




And this is the storyboard i did for it. Hmmm,...i guess i did make it a bit too dirty, but i still like it!

Ghostfoot Comic

Although, i'm not in love with the anime style that was requested for this, i do really like the way the layout turned out. I did the character design, layout, penciling and inking for this job. Please note that the shading and coloring have not been added.

Haha...can you tell? I don't like drawing in the typical anime style. However, i do love the genre in animation.

The name of the show is Ghostfoot. It was pitched to Cartoon Network in 2005~2006.
