Sonic's 19th Birthday Contest (Revamp)

Posting this up here. I also have another animation I'll be posting up in a moment. This was for a contest and, through internships and finals, I somehow managed to finish this in two weeks, backgrounds and all.

Koala Krush: Backgrounds

Hey guys!

So I just finished up with my Freelance project working for Elder Dragon Studios. I have some of the finished backgrounds on this computer to show (still need to grab the ones from my older laptop!). The game is called Koala Krush and is available in the App Store. You can find more information regarding the game here. Most of the buttons are saved as separate PNGs so they aren't on the actual screen. I really enjoyed working on these, being that it was my first time doing UI/Backgrounds for something.

Once I grab the older concept work files I'll be posting those up shortly.

New York Anime Festival/Comic-con

I'll be gone for a few days (specifically Thursday to Sunday). A few friends and I are heading to the convention in New York and I'm quite excited. I will be back some point on Sunday evening so if I get any e-mails I won't respond to them until either Sunday or Monday.

Sketches and some artwork

Here is a mixture of artwork and anatomy/gesture sketches I did. The gesture drawings were pretty random and I wanted to do some poses I hadn't drawn much of so the challenge was nice. The anatomy pictures I drew using references. I noticed I hadn't uploaded these onto my site yet and thought to share them here on my blog for the time being. The second image down was drawn on Bristol paper and inked and then colored with Copic markers, gold acrylic paint, Prismacolor colored pencils, and white-out. Next up I think I may show the Storyboards for the animation 'Sun Tear' that I posted a few months ago.

Website Shout-out

I think each month (Or I shall try, anyways) I will give a small shout-out to websites that I've been to and liked. Here are two from my graduating class. I have worked with both of them in the past and they're wonderful people who love animation.

Heather Bloss

Corey Valois

That's all I have for now. If there's a website you think is good let me know and I'll check it out. If I like it I'll give it a shout-out as well.

New Website up and Portfolio Show

I tweaked up my website for now and I'll be fixing a few more of the pages but I do like the layout and how everything is working so far. I'm also almost ready for Portfolio Show next week at Mariott Tremont from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Getting ready for the following weeks

I'm just cracking down on some work and getting ready for Portfolio Day in August. I will be posting up some new animations that I've recently worked on once they're finalized. I've also fixed up my website and made it much easier to navigate and will be posting that up shortly, I'm just trying to get everything together.
