Clarence and Bob in Lollipop

Below is one of my finals for the semester, specifically for my animation projects class. It's an 11 second story thought up by my animation partner, Vicky Wong and I. Her character is Bob on the left which she got help during the clean up phase from another student, Tara Fernon. Clarence is on the right, and I was helped out by Sujun Choe. I also designed the title cards and end credits. Enjoy.

Gestures and Figure Drawing

Below are some of my gestures from this semester starting with the 30 second gestures all the way to 20 minutes. I've noticed some definite improvement with figure drawing since starting at DigiPen, but there are still some days that I get pretty frustrated with myself. I'm just more coming to the realization that not every drawing day is going to be successful and to allow myself some goof ups. I'm also having a lot more fun in figure drawing these days since I eased off myself.

Work in Progress

More to come when I'm on vacation again :)

Animal Thumbs

Quick animal studies, I tried to keep each between 2 to 4 minutes.

Vroom Vroom!

Below is my midterm for CG225. I had a lot of fun modeling and texturing my desert vehicle. However laying out the UV maps was a pain! Literally took two days. The end result was worth it, and I could've kept on painting those textures. Many ideas spring to mind, but I'm at my deadline, so this is what I got.

A phone booth!

This semester I'm getting to work on my first 3D projects. The CG class that I am taking is for 3ds Max and the program can be pretty overwhelming at first, but I'm excited to see what I'll create by the end of the semester. Below is one the first things I've created so far.

Zoo Animal Studies

Clarence the Monster

For the Fall Projects class we'll be putting together a fully cleaned up 11 second animation short. But before that we have to familiarize ourselves with our character. Below is some of that process work.

Dia De Los Muertos

A design I've been wanting to do for a while now. I decided to create this as my final project for my summer CG class.

Imitating the Masters

This is for the Summer CG class, and the goal was to create a Photoshop Master copy that had the look of traditional media like the original image on the left.
