Space Rough Designs

2007-10-12T18:29:00.001-07:00

These are some concept designs of my recent project. A space hero, a Evil robot, and a space princess. These designs will be changed a lot working towards the finished product.
In character design so far I have been catching up. Lately because of the chaos of the new roommate’s future move in, I have been more concerned with finishing assignments on time, than having the time to work on them with the super energy. I know I have greater results when I have time, focus, and determination. These here are much better than anything else I have done so far this month. I can only improve the more I work on it and in the future I should be much better.

Stich animation test

2007-10-09T17:17:00.000-07:00

We had to animate a simple structure rough of the animated character Stich.
We used 6-10 key poses, and then needed to fill out the rest of the key frames with arcs, squash and stretch, and a few antics and other things.
Basically the character is to start in a standing pose, jump three times any way, then stumble/trip/roll to a stop.
Next week we will go in and work on timing, which may include in-betweens.

Flour Sack Jump Test

2007-09-17T14:09:00.000-07:00

This is an exercise which will lead to a project. Not a finished product so there are some blank frames and details of motion not corrected. This is mostly just a starting point.

The Evolution Box

Done as part of an Anijam. I had to start with a box and end with a box. Wanted to do a cellular organism evolving into a creature, but wanted to make him cute so I added canine features.
