Rows of Houses

SKATE!

10+ hours of animating for 10 seconds of film. All emphasis on weight and movement. I'm a n00b at this still, gimme 2+ years to master it.

Long day. Bye.

Rivers Dancing

Two hour portrait, no references. Drawing hot girls is such a challenge, since any wrong brushwork will ruin the whole face... as opposed to drawing say, a wrinkly old man.

...yeah.

Pretty happy with this though. I am gonna try to do a few simple character portraits a week.

Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them.

Welcome to Savannah

Found the biggest spider I've ever seen on my car this morning. Thinking of drawing up some sketches of it?

Skate!

Demonstrates a modified version of the Bloke 1.0 character riding a skateboard. Besides the character base, everything else was done by myself, including modeling, rigging, animating, and recording audio.

This will be online in a few days on my Vimeo page. I'll link to it once up.

The Great Annihilator

Work in progress animation for my character rigging class.

I love Maya. It is such an astounding piece of software. Highly intricate, powerful, yet simple at the same time. Complex yet intuitive. While a lot of amazing work has been crafted with it, the construction of the actual application is what I find the most fascinating.

The program is, in itself, a work of art.

Animus

Started this tonight, going to try to get it done (as well as another piece I'm working on) by the end of the week. I wish there were 36 hours in a day, instead of 24.

Once the semester ends in mid November I'm going to publish a long post documenting my first quarter of grad school.

Peace out from Georgia.

To Here Knows When

To the few that read this blog, I'll have updates resuming in a little bit. I'm currently overwhelmed with schoolwork and my job, but I haven't forgot about this.

As a real quick update, I'm getting my portfolio ready to apply for some big internships...

Jim

Went back into an old piece to update it... a lot happier with it now.

Michael Gira is a God Amongst Men

I haven't purchased an album in over five years, but I couldn't help but order a hard copy of My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky by Swans from Young God Records. Ever since discovering them, Swans became one of my favorite bands of all time, and I can't wait to hear what they have to show after their 14 year hiatus.

If you don't know Swans, check them out.

Song for Dead Time

Done with this.

Oxygen

If determinism exists, and free will (in the traditional sense) does not, then things as they are *now* could not be any other way.

And this would make life... perfect.

A simple little animation I did, practicing squash n' stretch. Word.

Re-Re-Hash

Sitting in room 304 of Montgomery Hall, Savannah Georgia waiting for my first grad school class to start. Hate not having internet at my place, feel as if I'm living under a rock.

Anyways, threw some texture on this. Going to keep working it up until it's finished. Also gonna punch up the colors and add more variation to it.
