beast

so i was playing around with making movement match up to sound waves... i had this cool little kanye clip and i couldn't help but think about how much more bad 'A' beast would be if he could crump. maybe i should give him a little do-rag (yes. that is how you spell it)

design

my buddy travis van hoff is playing some shows up in salt lake and the surrounding areas during the next couple of months and he wanted a design for a shirt - he released a cd called 'travis van hoff unplugged' and so he wanted an unplugged tv for the design... i thought i was pretty clever for turning the 'D' into the plug. get it???

lion and the mouse

i did a large majority of the background shadows for this film for the duration of the past year or so... i did a little bit of rotoscoping which pretty much reaffirmed to me that i don't want to do 2D animation. ever.

grundge

i'm pretty much loving after effects at this point in my life: i'm eating up anything and everything i can get my hands on... sadly, there aren't many classes here at BYU that actually teach this program (there's only 1)

giraffro

this is a page that i am working on with some buddies to put in a compilation comic book thing for comicon... it's about a giraffe with a fro - hence the name giraffro.

not only do we have a smart car... but we have a SMART DOG!

classy.

smart car in SPACE!

VRRRROOOOOOM!

size comparison chart

i lined the cars up to show the size difference

for christmas my little sister got the bamboo drawing tablet - it's a really good deal for the price! if i traveled more, i would totally buy one and drag it around with me

so it's christmas eve and i'm just chillin' at home in PA and i made this. i kinda like it for some reason.

one of the drawings that i had the most fun with was this last green one - i did it with ink: everyone in the class was looking at me like i was a weirdo, but people need to relax.

here are some more drawings - less realistic but more fun

this semester i tried to mix my styles up - my main focus was to go for more realistic drawings: but towards the end of the drawings i would feel that i would have to spice it up: or if i wasn't in the mood for it, i would just have fun

this one is my favorite. i just made it righhhhttttt now.

so here is the final project that i turned in - same models but two different images: i feel that i learned quite a bit, but mostly i learned that i don't know squat.

another robot. >:( grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

when i want to have a little fun, i like to sketch robots. i'm not very good at it. but it's fun!

i did a new background. simple yet satisfying. i switched out the turbo speed lines for a more serious motion blur of the entire body... i still need to blur the wings. and maybe work with the levels a little bit still.

so i totally changed directions because i am a dork. i thought it would be amusing to use 70's style beehive hair instead of making an actual hive. i need to add some blur to the bugs further towards the back... but i haven't decided how much

i am trying to figure out composition of what the final render will look like... i want to put a door on the hive so that it's more 'readable': i suppose that i'll get around to it sooner or later
