Well on my way to becoming a 3D animator! (I hope.) Not the most tasteful background choices, but I just wanted to be silly. The image doesn’t belong to me. I found it via Google.

Astronaut and the Orb of Light
Recently did some work on my astronaut. Note, I will probably be making some major changes to my plot. These may or may not show up in the final product, but they are still very nice and I will try my best to keep them in.

I’m trying to be more conscious about how I put my work up, hence the crazy name stamping. Sorry, I also think it’s kind of funny.
Sad Bean
My 2D animation class is making short Flash animations based on the Bean I doodled last week.
Last year, I did an animation loop of a rabbit riding a carrot-shaped spaceship. Afterward, some of my classmates were handing in loops of rabbits or carrots, sometimes in space. At the end of the semester, our loops were compiled into a sequence titled, Carrot Schtick (I wasn’t present for that). I’m not sure if it was my doing but I was reminded of that by this project. Although, this time we voted on a character to focus on.
I would put up my own storyboard but I actually want to show off an animatic by my funny and talented friend, Frank Gidlewski:
Frank sneaked in some of his personality while still keeping it cute to match my drawing style. I appreciate it.
Also, last night I prepared a character sheet for a stressed out schoolteacher for Jon:
Ship interior
Originally, I wanted to do 3D backgrounds but I decided to use a method that would show off my design skills in the best way, so I’m making them in After Effects. I’d say it’s a third of the way there right now. Video Copilot is helping a lot.
For most of last semester, I worked with Ratatouille on loop. It keeps me in the zone to have the same movie playing over and over, but I’ve gotten to a point where I occasionally say or mouth the dialogue along with the movie since I’ve heard it so many times.
Update: Approximately 2 hours later…
Ugh, well it doesn’t look like I did much more but I definitely did because there are other versions of this BG for different scenes.
Phases of Jupiter, its Moon and the Sun
Currently trying to figure out exactly how I want this to look. I might not know until I put Captain HP on the moon.
Last Week’s Sketches
my website will soon be remodeled…
A drawing I did of a house by a river during the 10-hour bus ride to the Ottawa Animation Festival…
…drawings done during the presentations…
…and more Captain HP drawings…
Captain HP
Meet Captain H.P., the protagonist of my current animation project which is currently in planning stages. These are unrefined sketches from a month ago.
Here’s a glimpse of my storyboard as well.
Train stations and dead things
I drew a model yesterday. Here’s one of my drawings…
I was pretty burnt out afterwards but I still had to work on this drawing of three characters at a train station. Of course my sketches were fairly terrible so I started drawing dead characters to emote my fatigue.
Also did a few sack drawings. My colleagues didn’t expect my sack to be filled with blue blood.
Aaahhh! So much work to do!
Got my business cards today! I’m also about to finish the storyboard to my senior thesis. It’s been a productive weekend but I still have SO much to do!!!!!
I started watching Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances). How did I hold off watching this for so many years? It’s so good! I love the ending credits song!
