Squish Squash - Round 3

Just some modeling updates. I have some of Mama Tamata, too, but she has no eye-lids therefore she is rather frightening right now so I will leave her out.

But here is Mr. Squish!
He has no hands yet because I decided to remake them.
But look at his shiny eyes! :D

I love him...

Squish Squash - Round 2

Here are some initial sketches of Mr. Squish. I was watching my mouse, Cookie Monster, explore her habitat and groom herself, so I couldn't help but draw some inspiration pieces of Mr. Squish. He is a warm blooded critter who looks like a reptilian of sorts, but acts more like a rodent.

I started to model Mr. Squish's head in Maya today!
I am sooo excited, I can't wait to see him move...
(these are just rough, rough, rough beginning by the way... I will post the complete and finished model once it is ready!)

And here we have an animatic with music for your viewing pleasure!
It's a little different from the boards in the last post and there will still be tweaks to the shots as I go along. Enjoy!

Squish Squash - Round 1

This shows my boarding process for story ideas.
First I board out all the major detail, with camera movement ideas and the basic layout and composition for each shot.
Then after this will follow an animatic, so we can see the story in motion.
This particular story is my thesis idea I'm pitching.
Wish me luck!

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....

A Deathly Day for Fruit

This just shows off my light and texturing skills back in Sophomore year. Was a very fun project because I love spooky themes!


The objects were given to us pre-made, so I did not model them. But I had to set up the scene and landscape and texture everything.
There is also a short video that shows a night time setting as well!

And here is a random still life from Sophomore year of some fruit, just for fun!
Again, the models were given to me but I had to set up the scene and texture each piece.

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!

Robie the Boring Robot

Remember this little guy?
From RadioShack?
He'd eat your quarters... so much fun.

Just some modeling hooplah.
There's even a little movie of him doing a 360...

The Dapper Drunk...

...didn't end up being so drunk.
I had to simplify things in order to get Mister Demon here in and out as quickly as possible.
He also retired his tux for a more...full body leotard. Way more comfortable if you ask me.

His date is not impressed.
