Steak torment

No idea what/who he is, but he likes steak.

WDC # 4

This is my drawing for the week. Thought I'd do something colourful and surreal. I didn't really know what any of it was until the end and even know, I'm still trying to figure it out. I am pretty happy with it though.

Total drawing time: 3hrs

Scumbag Premiere

Not exactly original but I felt it needed to be said after using premiere for a couple of hours.

Film Snippet - Part 2

See? I told you I'd post some more. 

Anyway, this one has a little camera movement and some breakdowns. Kinda liking this piece so far.

WDC # 3 - FILM SNIPPET

This small snippet of animation is this weeks WDC. It's rough animation for the wave in my film. I'll be uploading more as this shot progresses so the process can be clearly seen.

Enjoy

The Backwater Gospel

As long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. Until one day the grim promise fails and tension builds as the God fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die.

That's what it says on Youtube anyway. I loved the grungy and maddening atmosphere that this film captured. Also, the character design was so...wierd. I LOVE IT!!!

Drawing with Mac 'n' Cheese

Looking forward to doing some proper drawing tonight. It's been too long since I've uses traditional media to sketch. Probably going to do some work on next weeks WDC and hopefully I'll have something to show for it either tonight or tomorrow.

Also, just stumbled upon this great 3d student film. Very much reminds me of Team fortress 2, especially the big guy. I seem to have a real soft spot for "painterly" textures in 3D. I wonder if it has anything to with them looking like puppets. Loving some of the action effects. They're very "2D".

WDC #2

Sneak peak of next weeks WDC. This is a concept image for a game I'm thinking up. Premise will be explained in next weeks WDC.

Keep you posted,

Absolutely love the character design, especially the painted textures, but got completely lost in all the symbolism.

Balancing Blocks

Brilliant little stop-motion film.

I watched this about 4 or 5 times and couldn't get over how much work must have gone into making this short. That's animation for you though.

Eternal Saturday

Here is another cool animation. It's a little wacky, and a lot crazy, but I really enjoyed it's individuality.

Just thought I'd share this amazing short. I was looking at it recently because I loved the way they framed/coloured and animated the action sequences.

You should check some of their other stuff out while your at it.
