Howdy! So... we're halfway through the second semester of freshman year, and I figure I should update to inform all that yes, I am still alive. I've been busy with class, piles and piles of homework, and (
cough) leagueoflegends. Priorities, priorities. Here's some of my (from a personal opinion, better) work from this semester.
A big focus is moving towards stories and narratives, and working with characters. For example, in figure drawing, we've been exaggerating models' poses and giving them stories, new clothes, expressions, props, etc.
Working with developing characters in
Figure Drawing II:
 |
| A project in which we started out with a 15-minute pose, and then changed it to give it a story. |
 |
| Check out the transition from the original pose (on the far left) to the final project. |
 |
| Working with drawing different expressions. |
We're actually developing characters in 3D Design and Traditional Animation for use in further projects. Check it out!
 |
| For 3D class I'm going to make a sculpture and environment for one of my favorite characters, Swampy. |
 |
| Gus the Skunk! |
For Traditional Animation, we were given a random animal to design and animate in a character jump. I ended up with Gus the skunk, an easily-frustrated loner who enjoys solitude, napping, competitive curling, and scaring away small annoying mammals. He's not afraid to speak his opinion, or gas those who don't agree with him. I'm looking forward to animating him :)
Stay 'tuned- I've got much more coming up!
