My First 3D ANIMATED short : Storyboards to Film

As the titles says, this is my first. It was done in Maya which I'm still getting used to. So basically the assignment was a simple ball bounce BUT it had to be about 30 seconds. I went with the first thing that popped into my head which was Indiana Jones. Originally I did all the sound effects with my mouth but then I started finding sounds online at the last minute that sounded a bit better. I wanted to at least keep one of my own sound fx so I kept the boulder sounds.



For those who aren't familiar with animation or film making, these are my Storyboards. Storyboards are basically quick sketches of what a film will look like. Storyboards help you see if your shots and timing are working before production even starts. Its a real time saver!



And now my film. Sadly when I uploaded, the Video and Audio went off sync but ENJOY!

Happy Halloween!

Just a little something something for a ghoulish night

Coffee Shop Sketching

Every Friday my friend and I go to a coffee shop around Morgan Hill and sketch for an hour or two. Last night I just felt like going with this style. It was a slow night though.

Speed Painting

I saw a photo of a meadow online that I thought would be a good test to work on my speed painting. I limited myself to about an hour and a half. It was quite fun to do but as you can see I still need a lot of work.

Zapper

Here is my first 3D model that I created in Maya. I'm happy the way it turned out, but I know it could be better. If you don't know where that gun is from then boy are you missing out. How can you hunt ducks without one of them?

Autumn Girl

I painted a model from MetArt just for fun. I wanted more movement in the piece so i thought it would be interesting to play with her hair to make it look like theres some sort of draft in the environment.

Monsters

A couple of days ago I was doing various silhouette and scribble sketches for a character design on a book I'm reading and on one of my scribbles I saw a monster which I thought was pretty cool. With Halloween just around the corner I decided to take it a bit further. The Eddie Munster drawing I did right after just to change up style and cuz I wanted to try a different way of coloring. It looks funky but if you squint it kinda works.

Female Portrait

Just a random girl that I came up with. I sketched it out on Sketchbook Pro and then went into Photoshop and colored it.

My First Post!

Whelp today marks the first day of having my very own online blog. After viewing so many great artists's blogs and being inspired by their work i decided to start one up myself. The following drawings were done over the summer for practice using my Wacom Tablet and Photoshop. With Photoshop my stuff tends to look airbrushed so I wanted to work on making it look painterly.

This was done after I rented Rocky Balboa. I wanted to do a collage that showed his life and training. I was inspired by an artist by the name of Daniel Cox who also did a collage of Rocky.


After watching Transformers, I just had to do these a drawing of Megan Fox.
I was so stoked after I went to Projekt Revolution over the summer, mainly because it was my first concert ever, that I found a pic from that same concert (courtesy of LIVE 105) and drew it.
