Dante Part. 2

Color studies for Dante and his apartment.
Sometimes it is just doesn't pay to be old-fashioned.
So, ta ta, Dante! It was nice working with you...

Dante Part.1

Another thesis pitch that I did not go with:
Dante the Italian immigrant to America in the early 1900's.
Just some character deign and set design work.
Color studies will come in "Dante Part. 2"

Just Like Me! Mostly...

The sun just came out and I feel good.
Much better than yesterday, oh man, what a horrible night's rest....

So as a little present, here is a caricature of myself, in 3D.
With a little movie.
Enjoy.

(Above) A shout out to my boy on my shirt, if you can see it.
The tree suddenly turned white and chrome like. Strange....

Pharaoh Phollies

Character exploration for a senior thesis idea.
He was inspired by Sherman, but he is no where near as cool as Sherman.
Sorry Pharaoh, you didn't make the cut.

For some reason I just like taking the humps off of camels' backs.

Sherman the Humpless Camel!

Sherman the Humpless Camel is my baby.
Here's some of the first little doodles I did of him.
Poor guy... just don't call him a horse and he'll be your friend forever.
And now Sherman is in his own cartoon!

A Time for Scribbles

This entry is just full of silhouette scribbles,
done with the scratch board tool in Corel Painter X.
So much fun....

Here is an intriguing process of discovering characters:Some scribbles...

Some more scribbles...

Even more scribbles...

I think these are scribbles...

Yep, definitely scribbles....

And another page of scribbles for good measure.


So then I take my favorite ones, such as these five seen above.


Then I rotate and twist the image around and see what sorts of crazy little ideas stem from the mere silhouette. Three is a good number but I would recommend doing as many as you please!

Then a finalization of the characters I extracted from the scribbles.
Fun project, all in all. (:
