Uggggh so many things to upload

It's time for a break, I'll gather up the rest and hopefully make another stab at it tomorrow.

3D tools yr 2

This is a collection of the Maya projects I have worked on in year 2. These models are all pre existing and were used for this assignment for us to animate. These are not set on Loop, and are merely PLACEHOLDERS until I can get on Premier and loop these files. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Storyboard Yr2

Well it's been a heck of a year, and out of all the courses beefed up in homework for second year, Storyboard is probably the biggest change. We went from drawing storyboard panel freeze frames from movies in Year 1, with a couple of tests here and there, to creating our own character lineups, simple background layouts and stories in Year 2. We do it all traditionally: draw up the beat boards on storyboard cards, pitch them to our prof and class, and then after revisions and edits are suggested and made, we return a week later with a set of rough boards. Rinse repeat, and there's a final product at the end which is hopefully entertaining, visually correct in terms of storytelling and character acting, and in most cases funny as hell :D

Again after all the rambling, I give you Storyboarding, one of my favorites this year.

Our first project was to create beat boards for two poems

Hector Protector and After a Bath
Characters had to be original. You'd be surprised at how one poem can be interpreted many different ways. It's quite astounding

After the beat board pitches, we had to pick one poem and continue on to create a full story board with up to 40 panels. I seem to have misplaced the files for this project and will update them as soon as I find them.


This is assignment 2 through the whole same process from beat boards to final boards. This is based off of the phrase given in class "Not Again!"




And the Final Boards, which will next week be turned into a Leica Reel with scratchtrack and sounds effects.

Painting Year 2

Haven't done a whole lot of painting this year, the projects seem a bit bigger and more time in between them. I feel like painting is still one of my areas that could use development, but I feel I'm slowly getting the hang of it.


This is the concept process and Final for my Exterior painting, assignment 1.

This was an quick extra painting done to test out masking fluid. It's a wonder I painted without this stuff before, results are good, and I use if religiously with painting now :D
i applied the masking fluid to the character and fish while i applied a wash to the background, and then slowly worked my way forward, masking out certain things that I wanted to paint last after washes of color and broad strokes. I'd love to come back to this one when I feel more confident with digital painting.

The Following are the concept design, color studies, and final of my Interior Painting assignment 2. Really enjoyed this painting about halfway into the color studies. It was a bit tough at first but once i started to enjoy, it got easier and the ideas went straight from imagination to canvas and paint. Strange how I once hated painting, but now I feel how expressive it can be if you let it.

Layouts Year 2

Some sketches of chairs, cars and the like handed in for Layout class. Will upload more personal and creative stuff soon, just have to scan them out of my sketchbook

The following Layouts are based off of thumbnails credited to Piotr Bielicki my layout professor. The assignments were to take the basic image composition of the thumbnail, and then to add texture, detail and lighting to the scene. The goal was to separate the foreground from the mid and background, paying close attention also to contrasts in places of interest in the image. Although everyone received the same thumbnails, many great looking and different styled images were produced and I thoroughly enjoyed this project and feel like I've learned the importance of doing good reference research on topics that I would have once been terrified to try and draw. Without further rambling... I give you LAYOUTS!
