I was just doing some cleaning up on my little portable hard-drive and I stumbled across some old photography class assignment stuff that I never posted. So I guess this should tide me over until the new semester starts up, lol. Thanks for coming around and I hope that you all have the very HAPPIEST of holidays!

Bruce Lee vs. Zombies!
My final for Joe Olson's class, horribly late... The theme was "Imminent Defeat"... So here's the story of how Bruce Lee really died... the same way we're all going to die... Zombies. Used Prismacolor markers and Staedtler pigment liners.
3D Minotaur in Action!!
Designed, Modeled, Textured, Rigged, and Animated over the course of a semester. Used Maya, and Photoshop. Supposedly he's chasing a butterfly, but either the butterfly can be seen only by mythical creatures, or is purely a product of an over-active imagination, we will never be sure...

Character Design Final
Snow Balla
Hamstrosity

Hockey Zombie

PLOT SYNOPSIS:
A spunky, Canadian, elementary-school age girl assumes the role of a super-hero when a mysteriously evil team of super-powered, zombie, snowman hockey players begins terrorizing her small, south Albertan town by turning the local populace into mindless, snowman zombies. The only way for the self-christened “Snow Balla” to save her friends and neighbors from the curse of the zombies is to throw “love”-infused snowballs at their frozen hearts (which immobilizes them), and then she must shout “I want to be your friend” (which shatters the enchantment). She is accompanied by a trusty hamster, that when given a special sugar-frosted food pellet transforms into a gigantic, yeti-like monstrosity capable of smashing down walls and immobilizing zombies with earth-shaking roars.

Emulation:
The endeavor to equal or to excel another in qualities or actions; an assiduous striving to equal or excel another. The first one's an attempt at Joe Madureira. The second is going for Adam Ford's style.

perspective: the way in which objects appear to the eye based on their spatial attributes

So there's the "official" definition... but i still have my doubts. 2pt perspective theme: "Caravan of Awesomeness in the Dessert." 3pt perspective theme: "A Place of Evil." You'll wanna full-size those bad boys.Whoa, did you know that there's a new updated Post Editor for Blogger??

shtufffffffffrom Joe's Class
This silly, Steam-punk inspired dirigible/hot-air balloon was based loosely off of the original Dunkleosteus toy design, found HERE. The balloon part worked really well, the other stuff, not so much...
I created an imaginary friend. I would've loooooved riding to school on the back of a dinosaur. Something kinda like this, but different.Monday, October 19, 2009

Caricatures!



A caricature assignment on studying faces and whatnot. In order of appearance: Ryan Woodward, Kelly Loosli, and Steve Carell. I'm not sure which is my favorite... and doing BYU Animation faculty was kinda scary, but we'll see if they've got anything to say about it. Enjoy! :D

woo hoo, 3 in 1!!
wow, 2 posts in 1 day!


These silhouettes were an assignment for Ryan's Character Design class. The little guy on the side is the original, and then the succeeding 4 are the same silhouette but with negative space blocked out with a white-out pen. The 4 themes in order are Space Woman, Witch, Butler, Construction Worker. Enjoy!
The Great Bunny Stampede of 1860

So this Fall I'm taking The Great Joe Olsen's class (he's working at Avalanche, too!), "Drawing for Animation." If you've been following for a little bit then you'll know I thoroughly enjoyed this class previously, but I had so much fun that I decided to take it again. Our opening assignment's theme was "Bunny Herders of the Endless Steppe."
