A Cheeky Valentine

Quick thing I did for a last minute contest! Ahahahaha!

Re-purposed an old painting of mine in the background then ended up adding more clouds to it.

EDIT (02-14-14): Here's the background revision with the mirrored original on top:

Boucing Blob Test

Testing out a new animation program, yo!

MS Paint Gestures

At the risk of sounding whiny, I'm still having trouble drawing because I'm still not feeling all that great. Gonna try going to the life drawing sessions again. Meanwhile, here are some gestures I did in MS Paint. Made all of them up so I hope to see some improvement in the future?

Gelato Love

Haven't been feeling too well all month and have been struggling with drawing because of it, so sorry guys! Regardless, I managed to do this quick silly thing for a Let's Play thread that's ending soon. I'm a little embarrassed by it, but at least it's a finished product???

She REALLY loves gelato! Omg I'm dying!

Cross Fox Sketch

Not feeling it lately.

Rocko Drawing For 2014

Happy New Year!

Kinda feel weird making my first post fan art, but whatever.

Glyphs Of Sorrow

The short experimental film I worked on earlier this year was completed in May. I never really had the opportunity to upload it on here, so I figured I'd do it like a few days before the new year.

The title is Glyphs Of Sorrow and it premiered on the CSUF PMC Film Festival this year. I wanted to create something outside my comfort zone and tried to do something a little creepy I guess. I also wanted an excuse to work practice After Effects as well, so this was a perfect way to do so. I'm not going to re-upload images from earlier blog posts, but I will add tags to those posts so that if you click on the keyword at the bottom you can see some of my work-in-progress stuff.

My characters Nail, Jason, and Kacky make their cameo appearances in the glyphs. In the film, I only used 18 out of 20 glyphs: the first one would be the guy with 3 hairs (row 4 column 1) which was a character concept for a different film idea I wanted to do but had no time to; and the second one I just kinda forgot to use (row 2 column 4).

The above is an instructional image I sent out to people to help me come up with designs.

I got the reaction I wanted at the film festival and gave out bottle cap pins. Some days later I did a painting of the final scene of the film:

Looking back, I wished I could have asked some people to help me with my movie. I only had a month to really animate anything and I was pretty much a one man team. I had to cut out a lot of my ideas in order to meet the deadline, so that was a bummer. Regardless, I'd like to thank Katie Hardash, Rachel "Sailor Ember Phantom" Clark, and Marcus Lazore for all your help and support!
