Demo Reel August 2012

Updated my demo reel with some new work!

Got a new Threadless Design up for scoring at threadless.com!

I've got another t-shirt design up on threadless.com. It'd be a huge help if you went over and voted on it.  I'm not asking for freebie votes, vote honestly. If you don't like it, we can still be friends :)

Trip Sketches

Hey all! long time, no post. Sorry! Anywho, I recently went on a quick trip to a couple places in Europe, so here's a few sketches from the ol' sketchbook.

Max, the Zombie who wanted a friend

A concept I worked on for someone that fell through. I kind of like the idea, so might work some more on it later :)

I applied for an internship this past week, so I had to throw together a demo reel in advance of graduation at the end of the month. I'm probably gonna add another short scene, and fix up what I have now quite a bit in the next month.

Space Lady Design

Next installment of design class was a character design, so here it is! Don't often draw ladies, but I figured I'd never get better at it unless I tried it every once and awhile.

Jetpack Model

I modeled the jetpack I designed earlier!

two animation walk into a bar...

First try at 3D animation. It's a bit of a different thought process from 2D, but I'm starting to get used to it.

First ZBrush Character

First foray into ZBrush, and while it's frustrating to use sometimes, you can do some pretty cool things with it. Its great for sculpting natural, rounded shapes, but I find it harder to get nice sharp edges. I liked how the character turned out overall, but I'm not really satisfied with how his face turned out. I like his belt, though :)

Jetpack Prop Design

First project for design class this year. It's nice to have constant motivation to draw. I'll try and post all the school stuff I do this year. Hope you're all having a nice start to fall!
