Semester 3 and 4 Shtuff

Mass Update time. I'll start with Semester 3!

A shiny car. Not much to say about this one other then it was a real pain to render. My favourite part is the side...

 This is one of my cats, Leo. Getting the likeness of him was tough but I eventually pulled it off.

I'm a huge Zelda fan so when we got an opportunity to paint  whatever we wanted (within guidelines of course) for the final assignment, there wasn't really any question about subject matter.

This was the assignment for the semester in Character Design which I really enjoyed. There are expressions, poses, a rotation, the maquette, and a compilation of just some of my roughs.
I'm not done with this character- I want to write a novel and with this character I found the perfect inspiration.

Enter Semester 4

I was a bit inspired by Merlin again, especially for the forest one. The assignment was to design a layout which featured depth along with a story.

In semester 3 there was a portrait assignment which went rather badly. So this was my attempt at redemption. 

And these were my life drawings that I liked the best throughout the year. 

All of these pieces were pretty much my Game Art and Animation portfolio which I am proud to say got me in!

Cel Shading Practice

I did a sketch a while back of this character. He doesn't have a name yet. And I wanted to practice cel shading, so this guy was my go to test subject.

Caricature of Colin Morgan

For Digital Painting I did a caricature of Colin Morgan, an actor from the tv series, Merlin. Which just so happens to be my favourite show of all time.

Cradle to the Grave

Well since the image was smaller than I wanted last post, I'm putting it up in sections. Oh and I did these in gouache. :)

Animation semester 2

These are the pieces that I liked best from 2nd semester, starting with the figure drawings.

These are layouts I did which I have coloured in photoshop. The first is a mad scientist lab (inspired by the Skyrim I could not play while at school) and the other is a redone version of my paranoid conspiracy theorist's kitchen. 

This next one was an assignment for character design called From the Cradle to the Grave. I designed a character and drew the key poses of her life. To make her story brief- her name is Jude, full name Judith but she hates it with a passion. She eventually grows up to be a rock star and marry her childhood friend, living a pretty awesome life. Her band is called Hey Jude. Why? Because I like that song.

ANI Semester 1

Finally, some pieces from first semester! I'm surprising myself by putting up a few figure drawings but I rather like them. They are a pretty good improvement from when I started the program, if I do say so myself.

For our first layout, we had to design a kitchen. So I chose one belonging to a paranoid conspiracy theorist. This guy has four security cameras. 1 is in the clock.

Second layout was to do a campsite. My love of the tv show Merlin had me do a medieval wanderer's campsite. 

50 Hands animation

I do happen to be alive, just very busy and not very good at the whole updating blog thing. But now that the semester is almost complete I can start putting up the work I've been doing. First up is this hand animation. For Life drawing class we had to draw 100 hands, 50 each half semester. And for this half we had the option to animate it. So Ta Da!
