portfolioooooooooooo...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks for sticking around all of you loyal followers and friends. It has been far too long, but I am creating a HUMONGOUS post with all of my work from the last year.

I just submitted my portfolio to the Pixar art department internship program (fingers crossed). I was encouraged to submit by a Pixar character designer who was visiting SCAD, by the name of Daniel Holland. Cool guy. Its so unreal to meet someone like that, because Pixar to me seems like this mythical place, and all of these familiar names that you see everywhere, like Lou Romano, Tony Fucile, Daniel Lopez Munoz. (If you haven't heard those names, l0ok them up and be prepared for amazement)

So here is my portfolio, I hope you all like it. I spent many sleepless nights putting this bad boy together and although it has a few problems I would like to fix, I am nonetheless proud of it.

Thanks for stoppin' in

Amsterdam Red Light District Prostitutes

I have had so much fun drawing these. Talk about awesome subject matter. PROSTITUTES IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!

I've realized, I really need to start applying some color to these drawings, just to break them up a bit and give each drawing a more unique flavor.

But anyways, thanks for seeing what I have been up to. Hope you all enjoy, let me know what you think.

I created this character over a year ago, and you can see him in some of my earlier posts. I really felt like redrawing him again. He is really a lot of fun to draw, and I would love to get a model sheet and turnaround together and even animate him, at some point.

thanks for popping in!

the good old days

These are a couple of character sketches I was playing around with.
For a while Kurt and I were juggling around a few ideas for proposed animations, and these are just a couple sketches I got together for you guys to view. I think they were fun, and I would still love to develop these characters further, and perhaps one day get them modeled and rigged.

And I threw in a couple of good reference photos for fun. What amazing inspiration these guys have!! I absolutely love the stiff poses they were always in, it's almost to good to be true!

Maverick Armature and Sculpture

Yo Yo Gang,

I probably look like the biggest slacker, but believe me I've been staying very busy doing work for two films, and trying to get everything together for Maverick.

As far as Maverick is concerned, it is official, he will be the focus of a short film. That's just about all I can tell you at the moment, oh, and also it is going to be a way cool film.

I'm am in the process of creating a full body maquette of Maverick, which I will hand to a modeler, along with all of the necessary drawings, and he should be modeled in Maya within a couple months here.

Thanks for stopping by, and you know I always appreciate a comment so have at it.

Maverick Stone Turnaround

Hello everybody!!
It has been far too long. I've been really busy doing a lot of concept art for an up and coming animation that will be really really cool, I will be sure to post all the art I do for it at an appropriate time.
But I did manage to find some time to come up with a final design for Maverick. This is it!! He is finally done!!!!!!!!! I will be handing this drawing and the final model sheet to a very talented modeler by the name of Gaddy Foster, and he should exist in the virtual world in reasonable timing.

Please tell me what you think, your comments are always appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by!

Citroen 2CV Modeled! by David Riddle designed by me

So, I did a front, back, and side view of this stylized Citroen 2cv, which I posted on my blog a while ago. I promised I would model it, but I broke that promise and got a very talented modeler, by the name of David Riddle, to do it for me. And he did an excellent job, really capturing the cartoonish, fun feel I envisioned.
I just today handed David some sketches of the interior of the car, and with some slight additional details, and a custom photoshopped texture this bad boy is gonna purrrr. Just wait.
