Old Rocko Sketch

Since I'm on a Nicktoons kick here's an old sketch of Heffer and Rocko. Despite it being old, I'm pretty happy with how it came out except that Heffer's hands should've been more defined.

First post in ages

Whew, I haven't updated this in a while. I'll start out the pictures with an old one I scanned, drawn last year while on a getaway in the Catskills. It's a rough sketch so the proportions are off, but was fun to do anyway.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Thesis - Animatic Sequence "Fetch"

Here is a quick sequence from my Thesis animatic, entitled "Fetch". The boy throws the stick several times, and his dog chases after it happily. In this sequence, the boy pretends to throw the stick and hides it behind his back at the last minute, confusing his dog.

After this scene, the dog finds it behind his back and tackles him to the ground, winning the stick over in the end.

Thesis Model Sheet - "Dog"

This poor blog's been catching dust for a while, but I have been busy doing Flash movies for an internship at P.L industries. Now that the summer is over, though, it's back to work with still images as I get ready for my Thesis at SVA.

Here is a series of model sheets of the main animal character of the thesis - he has no name as it is a silent piece, but on the model sheets he is simply known as "Dog". Dog is a Golden Retriever. Since the thesis covers his entire life, he has several model sheets - one for each age.

Flash movie Final - Winter Dance

http://www.divshare.com/download/4374103-3ef


This is my third Flash Movie, and the first one with sound. This was my final movie for Flash class, and is a scene of an idea that would take up the entire sound file.

In the scene, a man is playing guitar in the woods. Faeries fly past him, landing in a clearing to gather around the faerie queen. She rises from her flower and dances to the snow.

The practice in musical timing was important, as I want my thesis to be something along the same vein - no dialogue, just music and pantomime.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints I didn't animate this as fully as was originally planned - the very beginning with the man playing the guitar, and the final dance scene, had to be rushed to meet the deadline. I think that it came out fine overall aside from the dancing queen needing some more movement frames. It could also use more camera tricks, such as zooming.

I might go back to it over the summer and clean it up - maybe even finish the entire song.

Harpy

I have always been fascinated with the idea of Harpies - they are my favorite mythological creature. How would a bird-woman look? I didn't want to just plop a bird head on a mostly human body, and instead tried to design a creature that was a monstrous blend of human and avian characteristics.

Old Drawings - 2006 - Pernese Dragon Head

I forgot to upload this when putting up older images. I love sci-fi books, one of my favorites being Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. This is a drawing based on a Pernese Dragon - a fictional creature from the series. They are described as having "headknobs", skin instead of scales, and compound eyes.
