Panda guinea pig thing.

Started to doodle a parrot, then realized I had to get back to work.
It's really creepy, and colourful. Therefor worth posting.

2011-11-10T14:32:00.002-05:00

Too busy for awesome posts.
Soon.

Busy hitting deadlines and getting matching tattoos with ma' tattoo brotha'.

2011-08-08T22:51:00.002-04:00

Went to a beekeeping meeting in the middle of nowhere-Toronto.

We were the youngest people there by about 50 years.
It sounds difficult to bee-keep.

Hello mouse.

Acrylic WIP.
Funny looking ram-thing. I'll finish this later.

2011-07-05T12:21:00.000-04:00

hoot hoot hoot...

2011-06-24T14:23:00.003-04:00

I picked up my sketchbook again.
So many people to draw.

Greece!

2011-06-22T21:47:00.006-04:00

Wow it's been a long time. Blog love!
I took advice from the wise and ran away to Greece for a month before diving into the workforce.

I did *some* drawing while away. I'll post as soon as I can find a scanner.

Until then!

2011-05-18T22:15:00.004-04:00

My thesis film at Sheridan College, 2011.

2011-05-10T00:46:00.000-04:00

Felt like getting my paint on.

Stills from my film "Box Sheep."
I will post the actual film later.

2011-04-19T20:03:00.006-04:00

Flipbook.
All from Box Sheep.

2011-04-01T01:20:00.002-04:00

Painting practice.
And about 15 minutes into this I quit because of looming film deadlines.
So here's... something.

2011-03-20T23:19:00.004-04:00

I've been doing lots of clean-up and coloring lately for my film.
So in the meantime, here is my most favorite frame.
ISN'T HE (maybe she?) CUTE?

2011-02-28T23:30:00.002-05:00

Now I understand why 4th years rarely update their blogs...
making a film takes up so much time!

Here's a still from one of the first scenes of Box Sheep.

2011-02-05T13:25:00.003-05:00

A commission.

2011-01-24T20:15:00.004-05:00

I'm in the middle of pumping out backgrounds for my film. I'll probably revisit these because they were done so quickly. LOTS of pink because I was denied pink in the film last year.

And now I go underground for production...

2011-01-07T11:12:00.000-05:00

A commission.

2011-01-06T23:41:00.002-05:00

Too many brushes.

2010-12-20T12:56:00.000-05:00

Film character. Speed paint. Oh la fashion.

2010-12-20T12:11:00.002-05:00

Some life drawings.

Here is the complete version of the 3rd year group film I worked on entitled "Beat Appetit."
I dabbled in paintings and compositing here and there.

My animated scenes are these ones that I posted a little while ago.

2010-12-01T16:51:00.002-05:00

Warm-up before background painting.
I forgot how to paint... Darnit.

2010-11-23T10:09:00.003-05:00

Some storyboards from my film.
Current production phase: animation poses and layouts.
Gotta' paint' em' all.

2010-09-20T21:19:00.000-04:00

Some design concepts for my film "Box Sheep" - stay tuned!

Latest Demo Reel: June 2010

2010-06-21T21:26:00.002-04:00

I did this one awhile ago as a "self portrait". Last summer, I believe. Looking back- I actually like it.

Commuter-misery. I draw you even if you're looking.

2010-04-21T00:37:00.007-04:00

Fashion and sheep make for party times. Party times film to come.

2010-03-30T21:14:00.002-04:00

Little break from the homework.

2010-03-30T09:23:00.001-04:00

No, I haven't died.
I've just been so busy with this film!
Update soon <3

2010-03-04T16:57:00.007-05:00

My sister and I take snapshots of our boring town.

My camera is wonderful for being blue. Awful for being crap.

2010-02-22T20:48:00.002-05:00

Just a preview of some of the first images for my film "Box Sheep."

40. min Illustration for class. Don Quixote.
Note: It's MEANT to look bad and unfinished and poorly drawn!

2009-12-02T07:01:00.002-05:00

Will post soon. I'm just scrambling right now. :)

Beat Appetit

2009-10-16T17:10:00.005-04:00

An update!
So currently I am working on my third year film, "Beat Appetit."
Here are some rough (scrapped) character designs. Also a rough visual development study, just to explore film styles.
More to come!

2009-10-01T22:51:00.003-04:00

Action Analysis assignment. Beat boards and character concepts. Little man misses his bus!

2009-09-22T21:00:00.000-04:00

Lately it's been all about the 20 second ballpoint pen sketches.

Back in school!

2009-09-13T19:27:00.002-04:00

Soon, dears :)

2009-08-20T11:28:00.002-04:00

Promotional art for the fabulous www.victoranomalous.com.

2009-08-11T20:12:00.002-04:00

Another speed paint. I'm addicted.

2009-08-10T20:07:00.004-04:00

'nother speed.

2009-08-03T14:10:00.004-04:00

I bought a tutu today. Wanted to paint it.

2009-07-10T02:12:00.003-04:00

I swear. This is EXACTLY what I look like!

GLOVES.

2009-04-22T20:41:00.004-04:00

Trying to remember how to paint digitally.
1 hour, Photoshop.

2009-04-12T00:02:00.001-04:00

Sorry for being so no-go on the updates. Things have been a little crazy. Brace yourself for brilliance ;D

2009-03-16T21:57:00.005-04:00

Character Theme Pack for "Theme Design."

2009-02-12T19:53:00.011-05:00

My first Maya experience. (Well, third...) I spent about 2 hours pulling out my hair with this thing. It's not very impressive, but it was a learning experience.
Mo from Wall-e.

2009-02-10T20:22:00.000-05:00

Final boards for sequence.

2009-02-05T22:31:00.001-05:00

Beaked character. My scanner is too slow and crapping out at the moment, so we'll have to wait on the muzzle character.

2009-02-03T21:24:00.002-05:00

Sketchdump. I'd scan more, but my scanner is to slowww..
You can't tell from here, but I draw with a pen. I don't leave any room for erasing. Should change that.

2009-01-21T20:00:00.001-05:00

Character Line up and Beat Board revisions.

2008-12-11T12:36:00.003-05:00

Self portrait? Speed paint. My News Years Resolution is going to be to stop making speed paints, I think. Time to make actual paintings. Also. This picture is way too stiff for my liking. Until next time!

2008-12-09T13:52:00.002-05:00

Cafe Sketches. Watercolor and pencil.

2008-12-07T23:06:00.005-05:00

2008-11-27T22:07:00.003-05:00

Some cafe sketches from my sketchbook. Some of them are from my TV. Like Paris Hilton, if you can tell.

2008-11-27T14:00:00.004-05:00

So today I finished my first sketchbook ever. This is big news. I've never done one cover to cover. The zebras are something I drew a million years ago, and the girl is a wonky-looking Debbie from class today.

2008-11-13T23:11:00.005-05:00

Royal Winter Fair. Not keen on these, but, I really wasn't in the mood to draw today.

2008-11-10T22:07:00.001-05:00

Trying to draw Disney-style girls. Oops.

2008-11-09T00:27:00.003-05:00

I started animating. 15 minutes later, I started speed-painting. Ofcourse, a speed-painting. Imagine the day I actually do a FINISHED painting! I need to focus better.

2008-11-06T21:45:00.004-05:00

2008-10-29T22:44:00.005-04:00

Characters for the walk-run assignment. Concept and finished. Is it just me, or did they get worse after the concept? I find the longer I spend on something, the worse it gets. Need to work on that...

2008-10-23T16:38:00.002-04:00

Drawn from life. 10 minutes each.

2008-10-20T13:03:00.001-04:00

Break week! woot-woot-!

2008-10-15T00:05:00.002-04:00

Rough character designs and 4 beats for Story class. Basically 1. Kid is bored. 2. Kid struggles to catch fish. 3. Fish gives goo-goo eyes. 4. Kid feels guilty and releases. I'll probably change this. Oiiii.

2008-10-10T18:17:00.006-04:00

This is our presentation for Art History. We filmed our rehearsal. Ahahaha. I fumble a million. I'm the kid in red talking boring nonsense, for those who don't know.

2008-10-08T22:40:00.003-04:00

Just a quick sketch of a character done by Oren Haskins. I thought she was pretty neat. Would have spent longer on this except . . . too ... much.. homework.

2008-10-05T22:53:00.003-04:00

Same old Photoshop stuff.

2008-10-02T17:43:00.006-04:00

Gouache. Need a better scanner... Blah.

2008-10-02T01:04:00.009-04:00

BAD SCAN ALERT! Not really proud of these. For the "Weight Lift & Toss" animation assignment. I have a Siamese fisherman tossing a large fish. The fish isn't really that large. I guess Siamese fisherman are weak.

2008-09-25T23:44:00.003-04:00

So... busy... with... homework...
This girl has no balance in her body. Crap.

2008-09-15T21:46:00.001-04:00

Characters for Storyboarding class.
I also received some very good advice from a teacher.
"Keep your roughs rough, and your cleanups clean."
As obvious as it sounds, it's something I needed to hear to reach some new horizons!

2008-09-04T22:49:00.004-04:00

Schools back...
Lots of homework...
Updates once the Due Date has past. ;)

2008-08-29T00:51:00.005-04:00

Quality is wrecked. But I want to splash splash all day in the ocean.
Better Quality here

2008-08-27T01:41:00.002-04:00

I know. A million posts suddenly. School is starting and I haven't drawn all summer! I have to catch up~!

2008-08-26T17:41:00.001-04:00

For fun.

2008-08-26T00:48:00.001-04:00

I can color in the lines!

2008-08-25T23:07:00.004-04:00

Just some cafe sketches. I spend about 5-10 seconds per drawing, so quantity over quality this time! Everything I draw lately is with a brush pen -- Hit or miss action!

2008-08-07T15:40:00.003-04:00

2008-07-27T21:43:00.003-04:00

I saved over my great painting. :(((((((
