Laura Portrait 2012 2

I was not really happy with the last portrait that I did last time so I decided to make another one today. I think this one turned out much cuter.

2012 Selfportrait

I am trying to start making art early in the morning, and I am usually dressed and look kinda like this. This Year I have resolved to post art more regularly on my blog and I though that the new year required a new portrait. Also in an effort to make art more regularly I am going to try and do some 30 minute or Less digital paintings in the hopes of being faster and having the bar for completing art being lowered so I get more done.

Christmas Card 2011 Mr. Royal and the Electric Mayhem Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
Well this year I just barely made it under the wire for the getting the Christmas Card done "on time" this year as in I got the card done before Christmas.
This year no one really had any ideas on what should be going on in the card. Then Laura, Alex, Uncle Ricjard, Nathan and I saw the Muppet movie for Thanksgiving so my mom threw out the idea that we should all be Muppets in this years card. So I drew us all as our own Muppets.

 (Rough Sketch with us as Muppets)

 I also had the idea to make us into Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, the Muppet Show band.

 

I decided to ink this version and make it clearer what was going on.

Every one liked the Dr. Teeth version better so I went ahead and worked on that version. I found it really hard to find time to devote to working on the card this year with school, work and being a procrastinator. 

I wish I had thought out the layout better, but over all I am really happy with how the card turned out.

My Skyrim Character

It has been a while since I have posted here... or anywhere on the internet, life has gotten busy and overwhelming in a hurry. But I have a free day and I have been lusting to make art for fun and for frivolity. I thought I would come back with something that I've been excited about, SKYRIM, it is awesome and I wake up early most days to play it. So far I have a Nord character named Graphthor, he like big axes and dislike bandits and draug. When fighting dragons he finds a bow to be a waste of time and just stands at their mouth getting burned with fire while he wails on them with his axe. He wants to a thief, but he isn't very good right now.

AM Q5 ASN2 Dialogue Week 4

This week is the start of a new assignment. This Assignment I will have until the end of the quarter, this one will be two character dialogue scene.

Here are my audio clips, the first one is from Serenity, the second one is from Office Space and the last one is from Planet of the Apes, I didn't list the source in the video because I got kinda chewed out for being excited about clips because of their sources. I picked these 3 clips out of a total of 12 that I found and showed to people and probably twice that many that didn't work for one reason or another.

 

This is my character description and scene description, hopefully you can read this if not well you'll get the feeling for it from the pictures and from the later animation I will do.

Based on what I can do with Bishop 2.0, I created these sketches for my potential characters and sets.

I have already hear from my mentor on this assignment and I got and A, which is awesome because those are hard to come by, and he was impressed with my drawings which was also a feather in my cap seeing as he was an old school animator for Disney. He really liked number 1 and number 2, those were my favorites as well, I am kinda leaning towards number 2, I have a better idea on what I want to do and what it is going to be.

This week I also had to make another face, I really like doing these assignments. I bought two books all about people making faces a reference for artists, one was all adults and one was babies to teens. These books are great references for people making faces, I could do with out the images of people using them to make art, those seem kinda dumb and make it seem more like a joke then actual reference book. Great books though and I recommend them.

Failed Portrait of My Brother Alex

My brother Alex asked me to do a portrait for him for his sound engineering demo, until recently I have been super busy. I found a free night to work on he portrait.

 He didn't like it.
Kinda makes me want to do a series of failed portraits... But how can I be assured that they will fail. More to come later.

AM Q5 ASN1 Dialogue Week 3

Here is the final version of my Tombstone shot. I am pretty happy with it. I can't wait to do more I know they will only get better.

This week I also got to make more faces. I hope we get to do even more later in the quarter.

Pathetic Death Day 2011

Four years ago today my best friend Patrick died.

In honor of his memory, and because I didn't have a chance to make a portrait on his birthday, I made a portrait of him today. I painted him Dia De Los Muertos because that holiday is coming up soon and it is a day to remember and talk to the dead, which I wish I could do today.

AM Q5 ASN1 Dialogue Week 2

I got some great feed back from my mentor this week and it helped me to create a better look for the animation that was more consistent with the feel I was going for. I still have one more week I think it still needs a little TLC and then I could have a piece that I really like.

This week we had the additional assignment to copy faces that we found in "magazines" I took magazines to mean the internet. This assignment was really fun. I love playing with faces.  I hope we get to do a couple more of these.
