Happy New Year

I started contributing to Cup’o’Doodle which is a great source of inspiration and really does push you to think out of the box using just the given doodle to come up with something interesting.  Check the site out, really great stuff by amazing artists.

After a long long time, I could manage to update the header image for “everythinganimated” channel I’m curating on Vimeo.

It’s a great way to discover amazing animation, and I do all the work :) You just have to sit back and watch new stuff.  So go subscribe!

I made a tiny gif for Ryan Todd’s ChristmasGifs project.  It was also nice practice to fiddle with some 3D/2D mixing for my short.

In case you’re wondering, it’s a Russian Nesting Santa!

Just a turn-around test with an existing character.  Had to modify him a bit for functionality.  Over and out!

The objective of this assignment was to try and show story while still focusing on different shapes and designs.  Over and out!

Another librarian design - trying to experiment with coloring, brushes and such

Here's a little fun animation I did for my friends at Robotika. Happy Movember! (well, it's December now but nevertheless)

Coincidental Woody Allen look-a-like “librarian”

Here are some librarian designs, focusing on faces.  Realized after drawing these that my stereotype of librarians goes as far as “having glasses”.  Oh well

Drawing faces & trying out brushes.  Trying to try and move away from my old boring habits 

 Here’s the full “Pirates” lineup with the addition of two brothers

Here’s work for week 2 - Bored Crusader.  Things that were to be focused on while designing this character: silhouette, basic shapes, carrying shape language throughout the character & showing of character traits

I’ve started taking a class with Nate Wragg on Character Design for Animation.  Here’s week 1 work where we focus on designing characters through very basic shapes.  Turns out, triangle is a really hard shape to work with.  More to come

Just trying my hand at wood painting.  Very fun indeed.

more progress here

i’ve finally found it in myself to actually start working on my own project/s.  this is monoton, which I’m keeping a production blog for here.  not much to see yet, but keep an eye out.
