Static Boy!







Here are some designs for Static boy, my other thesis idea. I had a lot of fun designing this guy, I loved doing his expressions, even at five in the morning. I think these paintings (especially color beats) are far superior to my last pitch. Maybe it's because this time I was determined to use tons of color!

My Pokemon. Let Me Show You them.

Some genius at my school came up with a plan to hold a pokemon gallery, taking donations and submission fees for Japanese relief. No sarcasm here, but this is a great idea. Since 85% of the school has fond memories of Pokemon, the turn out is sure to be fantastic, with virtually everyone I know submitting at least one piece, with a $5 submission fee. Nothing quite like having fun, a common interest, and helping out, as small as it is.

I love Team Rocket. They're still some of my all time favorite cartoon characters. I tried to stick to their particular brand of ridiculous backgrounds and entrances, but gave their designs a quick revamp in my style.

These two are nerdily based on other characters I have, that I always name a Nidoran and Eevee after. (I have to be honest, all my characters have pokemon matches so I can have a mission to catch them all in the games)

Corel Painter 11 for both, I might give them about seven to eight hours for both pieces combined.

Lip sync

My lipsync project is complete. I like the animation a lot more after working on it a few extra hours. I'm happy with how it rendered, I learned a lot of nice, simple tricks this time around. I'd call that a success.






Here's some basics on the rig, had to compile a little info sheet, we're swapping rigs for the next assignment, how exciting! I'm rather proud of this rig, all in all. However, the class has to look for rigs that match our own, and that could be a trick.
