Summer Update

I have not posted in a while and I am itching for a scanner so I can get some more of my work uploaded but in the meantime, Here is a update of a character modal sheet I did for lil Red Riding hood I did back in March and another piece I recently did for a scketchbook I'm working on that will be called Creative Flush so keep an Eye out. Practicing more and more on 2d animation. As far as my summer goes it is pretty exciting, I am in California interning with Nickelodeon on the Fairly Odd Parents Department so I am pretty excited about that and I am meeting alot of interesting people and learning alot. I will post more work later though! Also checkout mywebsite b e z

Animation

Here are character designs I was working on this quarter in my Concept Development for Animation class. I learned so much from my professor Keith Ingham about camera movements and how to keep the continuity of a film linear as well as how to make it non-linear and how it can be effective in storytelling. Overall, taking this class was great for me because I got to learn from my animation major peers during our crit sessions and boy were they great!! Anyways here are the character designs and I'm gonna try to post up my animatic! Take care!

Environment value

This has been an hectic quarter. I've started freelanceing again this year along w/ schoolwork and my job in the resident halls as a Resident Assistant my energy is just about spent , but have no fear Spring Break is finally here and I am creating work to signing my graduation release forms but now I am ready to get back to good ol blogging. Here is another environment I've completed! TO ALL MY FELLOW SCADIANS HAVE A GREAT BREAK!

Environments done for my concept class. This was my first time doing conceptual environments and I hope to do more in the future.

Environments Developed & Undeveloped

Concept Illustration Class Project Environment Sketches. Will be developed further.

FireBreather

Here is an digital illustration I did for the Firebreather Pinup challenge being held at SCAD for the the just past 24hour event we just completed. This was a real fun challenge that I would gladly take on again in the future but for now I'm gonna catch some sleep. Later.

Late Update

Here is an update of some of the work I've been doing in my classes so far. Two vehicle designs, one organic and one technological. The first vehicle is a beast of burden as they are called and the techno is a hover search vehicle. I am definitely learning alot about concept design and cant wait to take a second swing at these projects later in the quarter.

New Quarter, New Concepts, More Work!

This is a new project for the quarter for my concept illustration class. Basically, the assignement is to create two combatants in any arena/ playing field, so w/ that said, my two characters are musicians: a punk guitarist, and tribal bagpipe player. These are a few of the better silhouettes I did for both combatants. The final selects are above for each w/ their value studies. I will post the color tests later.

Tweaks

Re worked the image a lil more in photoshop. I blurred the background buildings and the fire in the foreground to pop the robot out alil more. I guess it helped?

More From Randomness...

Here is the latest class assignment I've done, so far, w/ only a week left of summer school I'm feelin the toll this quarter's had on me. Enjoyed this project and had alot of fun. I learned about how 2 use smart objects but also ran into a few snags while working on this file between both illustrator and exportin 2 photoshop, but all in all a great learnin process for me. As for why the robots shootin rainbow beams and rainbow eyes...im bringin... rainbows back? b e z

Something New

Real fun project had a blast and learnt alot about Illustrator cs3. I messed up my file and lost the texture on the robot thingy but was able to translate it to the shirt version. Good learning process and something I will definitly revisit in the future.
