Everyone is excited!

So got 3 finished cleaned up shots done this week. It's not much for most animation students but I'm technically an illustration student... This is an accomplishment for me personal best if you will.

Not really too much to say the last time I updated was only a couple of days ago. I'm really excited for the senior show extravaganza. The Killustrators are going to be in room 202 and our animations are going to be shown on loop. We're all also showing at least 1 maquette as well as story boards and other concept and preproduction pieces. I also told Bob I want two postcard holders so that I can have a 'one sheet' in it. Now I didn't call it a one sheet when I told him I wanted one but I think my words were descriptive enough that he should have known what it was. I think there is also going to be popcorn for our specific films. So ya know come for that.

Joe also took us to his studio and showed us how he composited certain shots and a bit of particle stuff as well as labeling and organizing our work load. Quite informative and another thing that got us really pumped on getting our thesis done.

Now the shot that I started and completed today. It's just the pencil test 'cause I don't have the clean one in After Effects yet, but I will.

Raccoons, Raccoons, and Raccoons!!!

Hey so Monday's I have a 'concept art for film and television' class. We're reading a creepy boring book called the "Prophecy Machine" really odd creatures in the book. Our first assignment because of the creatures in the book we had to combine ourselves with an animal. I of course chose to merge with a raccoon. I attempted a more realistic painterly thing for the creature. It was super creepy then I did a vector character which is still sort of odd but it more fashion based and honestly a lot less creepy.

The slightly uncreepy vector raccoon girl fashion and pattern influenced.

This is the really creepy painterly-ish version, fortunately I leaned what I want the final piece to look like from doing this.


Finally for professional practices and well because it's a good idea made a postcard it's showing the current techniques that I'm using as well as subject matter that I really enjoy and is honestly cute.
