"Our Place" layouts - Update!

Hey everyone! So sorry I haven't updated lately! (who am I kidding its literally been forever)

Junior year man - its literally kicking me in the butt. I've been busy with class assignments & getting my resume, portfolio, and scrambling together a demo reel. 

I have also been working on my journal comic "Our Place" (the telling of all my experiences working as a housekeeper this past summer) as an independent study so that's been a lot of fun! Below are some of the layouts done so far! I hope to finish the rest of the layouts/sketches by the end of the month so that I can go ham on finishing all of them in one go throughout April and May. :] So I hope you guys enjoy! I had so much fun working on them xD

All of these aren't in any particular order and are just random stories/events that happened over the summer. I hope to one day finish these and publish them! (in some way or another :p)

I'll try to be better at updating more often! :D (may the force be with me)

New Journal Comic!

I've been working on a web/journal comic of sorts for a while now and am so excited to finally post the first few pages! (more to come soon) It is called "Our Place" and it is about my miscellaneous adventures this summer while working as a housekeeper at Lakeside Chautauqua in Ohio. These first two pages take place when I initially started out back at the end of May.

I have so many stories to share with you all (some I which I wish that I didn't have to experience). But I am excited for what the rest of the summer has to offer!

This one holds a special place in my heart because it basically sums up my experience so far at Lakeside - hard work/not the greatest of times but I have met some wonderful people and made really great friends! This one is for you Story! 

More to come soon! :)

Space Blimp Design

Below are my initial concept sketches for my space blimp design, 3 detail explorations, and my final rendered design. I had a lot of fun on this project and really liked how my final design turned out!

Model, Color, and Lineup Sheets!

Here are the model, color, and lineup sheets for my characters in my 3D Character Design Class!

First off here are the model sheets for each character:

Below are the color studies I did for each character. :)

I really liked how these turned out. 

And finally lineup!

More stuff coming soon!

EVEN MORE Character Designs!

Man its a good thing I love designing characters because thats basically what I've been doing lol. So these characters are for my '3D Character Design' class and have been developing them since mid March and hopefully in the next week-2 weeks I will start modeling one of them! (still don't know which one I should model???) So yeah, for now I will just post the exploration stuff. :)

First off is "the Captain" I still am trying to figure out a name for her but for now am referring her to as "the Captain" and yes she is a captain of a pirate ship. She is a really spontaneous and expressive 12-13 year old and she is protective of her crew.

Next is the 1st mate (name still to be determined) and he gives off this "brute-silent type" vibe but has a soft spot for the Captain.

Merman (name to be determined) is a close friend to the Captain and loves to go on adventures with her and the 1st mate.

So yeah, more info/drawings to come soon!

MORE Character Design - Toonboom

Okay, so for my 2D animation class we got to choose characters and design them! :D I got a "monster-esque male" so yeah.  The first is my exploration sheet and I ended up going with to the second one on the left. 

EXPRESSIONS SO MANY EXPRESSIONS YEAH

Aaaaannnnnd to finish off is my first animation with this character ! I really like how it turned out and wow I love character animation.
