Thought this was pretty appropriate.

After overeating we're gonna stay up late and wait in line for Black Friday! Yay!

New Concept Art

Here is some concept art for 2 new projects in my CA class and Concept class.

This is the original concept design for my monster. We're working on creating a character for a simple walk cycle and jump.
Right now I'm at the modeling and rigging stage.

In my concept class, we're creating characters that will later be used for a sit/stand exercise.
This is my fast food serving teen character:

And here's a color study for the character:
Still working on finalizing a lot of it.

Turkey Day is almost here!

It seems like ages since the last post. Every time I thought about writing something, I got distracted. I have been quite busy with my classes though. Lots of animations. Here's a few:


This one was for my Traditional 2 class.

I was pretty happy with my Maya project that was due 2 days after the traditional project( lots of sleepless nights). We had to make simple characters and some kind of interaction.



Mine involved two blob characters meeting in a dark alleyway and are unable to get past each other.

I was slightly disappointed this year with Halloween. We did get to go see a midnight showing of Rocky Horror, but we were the only ones who dressed for the occasion. We went as Victorian vampires. The make up wasn't as gory as last year's zombies, but they were quite scary. We even won 3rd place at the schools costume contest. There was no time for us to decorate Lindsey's apartment, and we ended up watching The Descent on Halloween and carving pumpkins.

Lindsey and I went to Jacksonville last weekend to the Tallyrand Music and Art festival. We actually were featured artists at the event which was pretty awesome. They gave us a little spot to set up our work to sell with other artists while bands like The Bravery, The Format, The Polyphonic Spree, among others, played on three stages.

We only made about 80 dollars altogether, but it was exciting for people to take notice of our work. We handed out a ton of business cards too. I only got to see a few songs by The Polyphonic Spree, but they were incredible. I want to see them again soon.


It appears that I will be staying in Sarasota with Lindsey for Thanksgiving. I kinda miss spending Turkey Day with the family, but everyone is doing something different, and most of my friends are off in distant lands...

We'll make it nice though.
