Bjorn the Viking, Character Design

I worked on a little something a while ago for some of my 3D animation students. I designed a character for them to model and rig, and well... I'm kind of really happy with how this fella came together!

I designed, cleaned up and colored this little viking, and my co-pilot Matthew Delano walked our students through their first 3D Character Model and... and then later on, I walked them through their first Character Rig with this guy :)

Anyway, now that the assignment is good and done, I thought I should share it with yas! I think he'll probably end up as a Portfolio Piece eventually.

So, a Space Cowboy and a D-bag walked into a bar...

...So I drew them!!!

Actually, I designed these two characters for some of my 3D students to model. I'm actually quite happy with how they came out! The students ended up choosing the Space Cowboy... I'm excited to see the results :)   ((He's going to have glowy bits... becasue you know, Sci-Fi!))

The space cowboy still needs a fancy Space-Cowboying hat, and a Space-Cowboying weapon of choice, though. I'll get to it eventually >.>

For now, check out the eye candy! OoooOOOOOooooooooh!

Check out this bit of animation!

I needed a bit of practice with my character animation... and I thought a good way to start was by making my character walk. This is all straight ahead animation... so no cycles!

I think it turned out fairly decent. I don't know. What do you think?

Just a little something

Nothing particularly special… just a drawing from a Life Drawing session that I was more-less happy with.
It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, so I thought to put this here :)

Random shenanigans of the week

So… my drawings have been kind of all over the place in the last few days..

And pardon the broken anatomy and messy scribblies.. These drawings probably shouldn’t have left my sketchbook to begin with… but, I just wonder what that Owl/Minotaur cross-breed says about my subconscious >.>

Grumpy little coffee drinker

Well, I'm still looking at re-vamping and prettying up this blog. This would be attempt number 5, maybe? ((It'll happen, I PROMISE!!!))

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, here's a little sneak peak on a little something to come for the site.

Who could this mystery grumpy girl be with her ooh-so-wonderful cup of coffee?
She's just a wee bit familar, isn't she?
