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....

Master Minds Need Not Apply



So I just read on the news that some pathetic chum blamed his cat for some racy illegal stuff he downloaded. Excerpt from article, "According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned."

Now... I've blamed the cat and even the dog on many things when I was a kid.
But when you are caught with something like that... I mean, come on.
Don't make it worse than it has to be.

I just wanted to rant a little, but I don't want to link the article. Too disgusting to even type.
But I did imagine this guy's cat, and all cat's everywhere, setting up elaborate schemes to get rid of their owners....

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.

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!

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. (:
