Update on the first maya lip sync

Just thought I would update this one. Still working my way through it. One thing about being animator is that you always find things that could be stronger than it is already. You must find room for improvement in all your work. After all you should never stop learning. Any comments or suggestions I'm all ears.

Wieme's crack at color

Thought I would take a shot at color again. It seems everyone is doing color on their blogs recently. So here is the new me. LOL. Comments and crits always welcome.

Quick Run Cycle

Well its been over a year since I animated traditionally and I thought I would give a character a trial run. Literally!!. I did this in not to much time at all and was surprised how it turned out considering all the rust on my pencil. Any comments and critiques, fire away.

LOOK OUT!!!

I actually did these two images at different times for a client. LOL I pasted them together and couldn't help placing them this way. Enjoy!!

Comments Welcome!!

Couple more designs for the same project

Just a couple more sketches of some kiddies. I think the "bigger" one seems a little old to me and something I need to fix next time around. Any C & C's welcome.

Designing for a personal project

Well like most of us out there , I am starting to get the urge to animate a new little film. I'm pretty excited and it has been a little over a year since I've animated traditionally and I can't wait to get this thing boarded. The synopsis deals with children and their overactive imagination.

This little guy is the main character, with slight variation. Basically the "sheriff" vs two villain children ( the neighbors ). Any critiques or suggestions , I'm all ears.

Cowboy Theme

Just doing some more correcting pushing the students designs. Man I miss drawing!!! Any comments would be great. Thanx!!

Character line up

Just thought I would cut and paste a few more of the characters that pass by the school everyday.Except for the character on the far left. Its still a bit cold to be dressing that way. Comments are appreciated.

Keepin it fresh

Just a quick sketch I did while watching the tube.

What a new post!

Been far too long since the last post. Excuse me while I kick myself in the teeth.

Some savage type designs 4 marshall

Its been just like school being up here with Kyle. Something happens we just kinda feed off eachother. I can only imagine what its going to be like in the next couple of weeks with Graff and Elder on the way. Its gonna be college all over again. Comments welcome!!

Back on the drawing board

Well now that I am in Ottawa and crashing at Kyles place, I finally got something to post. Everyone at the new job has been great and I've been learning Harmony, it can be overwhelming at times ( for this old cat anyways ) but I'm catching on. Well here is a character I did of my nephew. He just turned one and believe it or not he actually flexes and makes the faces too. Commments welcome and posts will be frequent I promise.

More Designs of the T' Horton folk

It's funny how the older generation think just because you draw for a living automatically assume its for the local paper.This was the older guy on the bottom right of the page. Then of course proceeded to tell me his life story.

More Rednecks and a Cowboy

Nothings more fun than drawing those rednecks and of course a cowboy just for kicks!
