This has been LONG overdue and it's about time I uploaded something in this blog.

Here is my first CA project. Bye now.

Mischievous Mishap

Meet Rickie. A mischievous boy on the verge of scaring his sister. A traditional animation 2 work in progress.

Im happy how this turned out. Kinda slapped some color here and there and it seemed like it worked.

Filomena goes for a walk

Just your average cow walking about. Nothing more, nothing less.

Concept 1 Project 1 Process

Some preliminary thinking and process before starting a project to a story that was given to us in class.

Dog Walk Realistic

This is an exercise where one becomes familiar with the mechanics of a quadruped walk. 
But I cannot emphasize enough how imperative it is to pray before starting an endeavor. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6: 33

So that's that.... now enjoy!

First Maya Characters

Primitive NURBS Characters Dun dun dun!

Mr. Snowman, Sandovaldo, and Swimmer Dude, respectively. These characters were made using Maya with only simple NURBS. They were only squashed, stretched, scaled, and rotated. I did not pull any one point to create more interesting shapes because, well, it is the first day of class and we didn't learn it yet. Sure I could go ahead and learn how to do it but let's take baby steps and soak up little bits of info at a time.

Meanwhile, enjoy these.

Test Dummy

Learned better blending of color to sculpt 3D shapes in a 2D surface and how to achieve definition/sharpness of form and line.
A Test Dummy: literally and figuratively.
