11sec club_December

For this months animation I went ahead and drew up a small storyboard for the sake of clarity before I act this out. I was given some critiques in the process and there were some significant changes that were made that will definitely help sell this in the long run. Here is the original storyboard.

Smartpac Jacc Take 2! WIP

Ever since my first version of Jacc was animated new ideas have been running through my head of what else Jacc could create. I won't spoil that just yet, but lets say it is a new smartpac, only....better! Looking forward to coming up with concepts for this soon to be 3D goofball. Here is a WIP of just the head.

Eggie baby version

Originally Chris Kuhner and I were shooting for an adorable egg but it branched off into a different art direction. Chris will be creating his own egg creature and I will be doing the same on my end. We are still producing concepts so nothing is set in stone as of yet. I thought I would post this Eggie baby concept for kicks and gigs.

Eggie Concepts

Its been quite some time since I posted anything. I had to go through several procedures for a spontaneous collapsed lung that occurred mid November. So with that said I have been doing some concept work with Chris Kuhner in the meantime during recovery. We both want to achieve something simple, cute, useful, and entertaining in the long run. This will be placed in Autodesk Maya once the 2D stages are completed. Here is concept #1.

11 Second Club - October 2012

                                     
This one didn't make it due to how I started the animation half way into the month. So while I am working on November's competition, I decided to tackle this instead of throwing away the hours of work I put into it. Now I realize that there are restrictions with adding audio to the animation but I had fun with it and wanted to go a little further. So here is a WIP.

My brain's going to swell like a sponge

Oldie of Smartpac Jacc

Always looking for inspiration from professionals in the industry. I bumped into this short film of Batman created by Isaak Fernandez. Very fun!

Final

This was a nice practice for me. I plan on creating more character concepts for potential 3D animations.

Values

Added some values in this guy here. Trying to decide what else I want to do to make it more appealing to the eye.

Ink

I played around with the line variations to spice it up a bit.

Sketch

I'm  keeping up with my traditional side in addition to my 3D animation. Here is a sketch of a Pittsburgh Penguin concept that I was fooling around with one day.
