More animated Dingoes (for the company that has a Dingo as its logo). This was based on artwork supplied.

More Life Drawing

 

I've been a bit tardy of late with the posts. Work has really ramped up and my spare time has disappeared. So this time just a selection of recent life drawings.

 

I'm really enjoying these sessions. I'm finding them very useful.

 

My constant struggle is to loosen up without letting proportions etc. suffer. I think it's one of those things where it's all about the journey. You never really get to a point where you are absolutely happy. 

 

Ruff Graphics part 2

This is the logo for the company I did the previous graphic for. I found some footage of dog walk cycles on the net and took my animation cues from that. I pretty much did the whole thing in After Effects.

An old style 'movietone news' animation for an intro to a segment in a corporate video.

The Fabulous Baker Boys.

 

These were done for a promo for the TLC network show 'Cake Boss'. It's  basically about a cake baking family empire in New Jersey. The concept was for you to think the mafia have moved in, then it's revealed that the 'boss' head 'gangster' is actually a cake baker. The style was in a sort of a comic-book/ paper cut-out look.

The elements I created were taken into Maya and intergrated into a 3D camera move.

Life Drawing....again....

A new post...at last...or to put it another way...who cares? Just a couple of life drawing sketches this time around. 

Also an animation I did late last year for the agency handling the Liberals campaign in NSW. Now being the sort of bloke who tends to dress to the left, I was a little hesitant about this project. But I figured Labor in NSW was screwed anyway and it was one of those rare paying gigs

I was proud of my animated flies...basically a sort of 21/2 D solution. They then asked for the maggots, which I felt was 'gilding the lily' somewhat, but I guess they really wanted to ram home the message.

Anyway, despite my early misgivings it actually turned out to be a fun animation to work on.

Render sketches

When I returned from holidays someone had left a large A3 style calendar on my desk. I thought ...'Great I can mark off relevant dates right here in front of me'. I then noticed that the calendar was for the year 2009, obviously what I thought was an act of generosity was actually someone cleaning out their trash and dumping it on my desk.

Being the ever resourceful fellow, I flipped it over and I use it as a sketch pad for when I'm waiting for my computer to finish whatever calculation it's doing at the time. The top sketch (Hulk or Frankenstein's  monster) was sketched in blue biro. I then took it into Photoshop to ad the colour.
