1940


For the past few weeks I've been working on a 3D animated dance in Maya. I love animating but I felt like I needed to break from it for a while to do some drawing. I was inspired by a few artists to create this piece, Francisco Herrera, Gil Elvgren and one of my friends and classmates, Ben Anders:) The idea was to create an elegant and graphic rendition of a 1940's "femme fatale" using a colour palette of white black and red. I don't usually do alot of graphic pieces and I saw this as a challenge to create something simple, yet effective. My last name is imprinted into the background because I am hoping to use this piece in my Title page for my demo reel.

Now I have to get back to animating that dance...almost done, will post it soon!
