Just throwing it out there...

Here are some WIP images of my current sculpture project. Unfortunately I had to go with using flash on these pictures, so it makes the details either look cool, crappy, or they disappear entirely - not the ideal choice, but I'll worry about getting better pics when it's done.



So far, so good. I'm ahead of the game as far as where most everyone else is in the class, and thankfully the due date was pushed back to Monday (previously this Wednesday) but I would have planned my time differently had I known that - oh well.

Kwoon... wow,

Ok I'm not going to get in the habbit of posting work that isn't mine, but Cassia showed this to me and my jaw was on the floor the entire time I was watching it.

Amazing music, animation and visual style - definitely worth a watch, or ten.



I've seriously watched this several times a day since I first saw it. I find it to be very inspirational to me. Here is a site for more information on it if anyone is curious.

ILOTM

Stuff.

Going to hold off on describing what the heck I'm doing until I get more images done...

A couple days ago, at a studio not so far away...

So on Friday after a trip to the Asian art museum for a class study, myself, Cassia and Jill were given the chance to go on a tour of ILM (Industrial Light and Magic, they are kind of a big deal) and Lucasarts, since they share the same building now in the Presidio of SF. The tour was given by a friend of Cassia's that works there, so thanks again Cassia and Kamel! Unfortunately we signed an NDA before going in so I can't really say much, but it was really cool to see one of the most famous visual effects houses in the industry. We got really lucky on the tour when we were invited to check out the art department of ILM by a passing supervisor (I think). Time wise this was a very small portion of the tour but REALLY cool. Anyways, heres a pic of us after the tour infront of the Yoda fountain. Thats Jill, Cassia and myself from left to right.

ILM hire me, thanks!

In progress: animal blend self portrait sculpture

So this is my maquette (sp?) so far for this assignment. It's meant to be a blend of myself and a polar bear... It has looked like a rat and meerkat so far, but hopefully it will look like a polar bear in the final version :o The hoodie is something I'm trying out... it isn't really working yet but I was hoping it would fill out the silhouette more and make the neck feel heavier while not changing the neck anatomy radically.

Drawing Salon 2/14

So I spent about 6-7 hours today drawing, which was great! I started working on the sketchbook project and then went to drawing salon tonight. From all the warm-up I was really happy with how almost all my drawings were turning out. Here is one sample but I will try to add a few more (probably some 1's and 2 minute drawings) tomorrow. This is a 5 minute pose.

Redesign on the brothers...

I stumbled upon a new idea last week for the brothers to be dressed up as fast food mascots. I thought it was funny but I had no idea how to make it work. Essentially they are going to be ex cons. The story is still up in the air, although Jeff Jackson liked the idea so much he came up with a full story surrounding these characters. I'll post that when I can...




I like this one so far.. It's a wip, as everything pretty much is right now, and I plan on drawing more face thumbs on it when I dare to actually express something.


This is something I did today at school.. I was playing around with making this character look more like an otter. I may not have succeeded there but it got me to play around with the face a bit more.
