Sack Pantomime Pitch Revised

A pitch is due tomorrow for our sack pantomime assignment. I revised the previous one and here it is!

Walk Cycle with Narrative

Here's a walk cycle that was due today... this time it's with character and narration. It's not a full on story or anything, just a short test.



Man I'm tired... I didn't have a lot of time to work on this but I did my best with the given time. There's a lot of work to be done! 4 more weeks of school! Hurray! :)

Just a silly idea I had for the sack pantomime assignment:



This is what I pitched to Dave and my classmates.. he suggested that the sack is first sad or feeling down, then the contrast from that to be energetic would be cool. Also the ending would not have the girl sack, but instead maybe like the music stops or the hula skirt falls off and he's sad again.

Walk cycle with character/emotion is due soon! Stay tuned for a model sheet of my character and perhaps the animation! Little to no sleep for me this weekend! Hurray! :/

Behold! The mechanical walk cycle:



I tried to put all the elements of a mechanical walk cycle in it: The keys of course; contact, squash, leaning forward, passing position. I tried to make the timing like a rolling egg according to Prof. Garcia. Then I delayed the arms a little bit because arms shouldn't be on the opposite side of the legs exactly at the right time. Head moves to the right as right leg comes forward and vice versa. The tilting of the hips and shoulders should be there too. I tried to put it all in there!! Yaaaarrgghh~ Can't wait to do a walk with more character now.

EDIT: Phew I was finally able to post the animation. Anyways the crit I got from Dave is that the head swings back too abruptly and the position of the leg joining to the body is inconsistent. There is a lot more mistakes than that but.. bah... that's what makes the walk cycle hard... I just can't get it all...

Oh and also, I revisited my Nefertiti character. Here's just a few rough sketches:



I'm going to develop the one on the top left one more. Fixing the proportions and drawing through with a critique I got from Jake.

Stay tuned for... umm... what's next... Hmm I dunno! Stay tuned for something! :D

PS. Just throwing it out there.. Does anyone want to get me The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy set for an early birthday present? Hehehehehe... just kidding... sort of :P.

EDIT: I just bought the LOTR Trilogy so never mind. I couldn't help it I must own it!!!

Jump Test Final

Jump Test was due today and this is what I turned in:



Dave said that he should have his arms up above him during the apex, so I think that's what I'll do to revise it. Stay tuned for a walk cycle and maybe some 113B stuff! :)

Jump With Arms

Got the Rough Jump down now... Just gotta clean it up now! :)

Jump Test Rough

Hey all. A Jump Test is due on Tuesday. Here's a rough first pass without the arms.



There's a lot to tweak around. Mawi gave a great critique on it. Stay tuned for a more updated jump with arms! :)

113B Stuff!

Hey all! Finally updating my blog yay! Just posting some stuff I did for 113B (Intermediate Project).


Here is my object painting. Objects from environment that I'm going to paint (Philippine Rain forest) for the final project.


This is the line version of the composition I'm going to go with for my final piece.


Here I put down the values for the composition.

I think overall it's a good start because I know where I want to go with it. Thank goodness. I also got a great critique from Nelson so I need to revise my composition and put down a light source.

Otherwise that's about it for now! Stay tuned... until next time! :)

Figure Drawings for tomorrow

Figure drawings and feet drawings are due tomorrow. Here's one page of figure drawings just to show something updated.



Also, I was having such a good time drawing on Mon so I took a couple poses and turn them into something else.






50 compositions/thumbnails are due tomorrow for 113B!!! Gotta get to woooooorrrkkkkk.........

Figure Drawings!

I haven't posted in a while so I guess I'll just put up some figure drawings that I did for 114.





Object painting was turned in today. I'll try to take a pic of it when I get it back from grading. Hmm lots of work to do... I think I'll go attend them now...

Until next time! :)

Egg Paintings!

Hello! I haven't posted in a while... well here's my egg paintings.



Plain egg, colored egg, and Harry Potter egg! Working on objects from my environment right now (Philippine Rain forest). Hopefully I will be able to post that up soon.

Until next time!

Rough Animating!

.
This is how I feel right now...

Hallmark Workshop

For the past 3 days I was honored to be a part of the Hallmark Workshop where 3 great artists from Hallmark in Kansas City came to SJSU. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Here's what I worked on. Everyone's art should look very different than others in terms of everything; character, story, background, etc. I'm a bit tired so I won't get too in-depth of everything so here's just something quick to post.


This is a sprite character.


The sprites are messengers, so here's a little mailbox.


The environment they would live in.


Receiving mail from a friend.

I really loved everyone else's work and talking about them. Anyways time to nap and then get back to work!! :)

Egg Painting

There she is. Not much to see... just a plain o' egg hehe. Man, talk about a crappy scan job. I would like to take a picture of this instead but I'm too lazy at the moment. Maybe some other time in the future when I take a picture of my decorated egg painting as well.

Rise and Shine!

I wanted to do a short test of something else, so here's a very rough little girl yawning. She's eventually going to wake up, yawn, then get out of bed. I want something to happen so it won't be as boring... so we'll see.



Otherwise... time to go home and work on my egg. Until next time! I think we have a paper/leaf drop next.

Finished Sack Drop

Well sack drop is due Tues morning. I finished it early this time because there's a lot of 113B stuff to do.



Any comments or critiques are appreciated! I'll try to scan my egg and decorated egg painting when I can.

Rough Sack Drop

Hey all! In the lab working on my sack drop. Here's a rough:



Hmm stuff to fix is the tassels at the end... When I clean this up I'll put it on a separate layer so I can move them more freely from the sack's body.

Ok.. back to work!! :)

Final Brick Drop

Brick drop is due tomorrow morning!



Up next: The Sack Drop! Stay tuned!

Animations!

Helloooo! Haven't posted in a while...so busy!! So I got into the Hallmark Workshop.. yaay! :) I've been animating a brick drop for homework... so after doing it over and many revisions, here's what it is right now:



I would post my ball bounce... but it's just a ball bounce... so yea. Hehe.

If I get my egg painting back on Tues I'll try to post that up. But anyways... back to work!

Oh, any critiques or comments are much appreciated! :)

Cute Animals Colored

Phew! I finally colored my cute animals. From a previous post I had 3 animals, but to make it a set I decided to draw 3 more. So here they are!





And of course, the process:

Colored and fixed in Photoshop.

Roughed out.

Alrighty that's about it for now! Stay tuned for more! :D
