Toronto Car Show 2012

I went to the Car Show in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and did some sketches. I realized the my future car is going to be the Fiat 500 because I fit inside it like it was built exactly for me..it's amazing, and cheap!! Cadillac was showing off their 3 million dollar concept car, which was really cool (unfortunately the showgirls were not with the car...but they should have been!... which is why I put them there) The sketches I did were in copic marker and pencil crayon, they were really quick, maybe 5 to 10 minutes each. I refined some of the drawing at home using photo reference for characterisitcs such as the bumpers and headlights because drawing standing up with people pushing and shoving doesn't allow for alot of observation of detail haha. The Cadillac sketch was done completely at the Show, and coloured later in Photoshop

Alfred and the Bride

Here are the other two:) The butler reminded me of Alfred from Batman and the bride, well she looks pretty generic but the dress was fun!

Now I'm back to animating in Flash, hopefully I'll get to post that soon

Naughty Chef and Pretty Geisha

Here are two characters I based off some recent lifedrawings, I'll be doing a couple more over the next couple of days so stay tuned!

enjoy:)

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!

Fun with Steve's Barber Shop!

I decided to use those barbershop sketches and make a concept painting of the final look of our film. I definately had fun messing with film effects on After Effects and the glow effect made it look so cool! I feel like I should have put some lava lamps in there, it feels like a rave party or something. Hehe

BarberSHOP

Our film is progressing nicely! Here is some more concept work for Steve's Barber Shop, I can't wait to see the final look! I have to say though, cintiqs are the greatest invention...ever

Haircut?

I had some fun designing possibilities for Steve the barber in our group film. I'm excited to completely flesh this film out and start production soon!

City Street Concept work for my group film:)

Here is a concept painting for my third year group film. This is the original location design concept. Our story has changed a bit so we will be creating a new location design soon. We are going for a more graphic and lineless style for our film :)

Skinny Malinky Longlegs

Here are is a bunch of stuff that I have been working on for my Action Analysis animation project. I will be fully animating, cleaning up and colouring the section of my storyreel where the golfer whacks the rabbit across the green! I'm not going to be getting much sleep over the next few weeks....
