Storyboards 02

Here are some storyboards (more like storybeats) that I did for this week! :D I'm pretty happy with how these turned out! 

Remember the otter-zookeeper I did last week? Yeah, I had to revise it (which is fine) to make it more otter like I guess (see below for revised version) The assignment was to make a storybeat from a fable that we chose with our animal characters. The fable/moral I chose was "it sometimes happens that one man has all the toil, and another all the profit." So hopefully you can kind of see it here. 

 I did this quick so I could get to my storyboards. I'm okay with how this turned out . . . My prof. was pushing us all to get out of our comfort zones (which is great) its just now since I'm experimenting it doesn't look that great. oh well.

Till next time!

Zookeeper Sketches

For my Storyboard & Concept class we were tasked with drawing a character inspired/based on an animal and a job title. So I got an otter and a zookeeper! Overall, I am pleased with the result (the bottom left drawing lol). The other sketches were some I hashed out quickly (kind of) to get some momentum cause I had the hardest time drawing something I was happy with. 

So yeah! I'll be posting some more stuff throughout the week! :D

Animated Turnaround

Remember this character? The one I designed for my Animation 2 class? yeah, the eccentric herb gatherer? 

His name is Alfred by the way. 

Anyways, I finished an animated turnaround last night! So here it is! :)

I'm proud of this but I also see some areas of improvement.

Zodiac Sign Characters

These are the 4 characters that I had to create/design (with backstories and all) for my Storyboard and Concept class. We had to use archetypes, like the four elements, the Gospels, etc. I used 4 of the zodiac signs: Leo, Virgo, Gemini, and Cancer. I'm pretty excited about these characters and hope that I get the chance to develop them more! :D

2 Robots & Color Studies

For Ballinger's class, we were tasked with designing 8 different robots (refer to my previous post). So now I chose my favorite two of the eight and had to refine them a bit and do turnarounds and two color studies for each one. (the point of all of this is to model and briefly animate a robot by the end of the semester)

So, without further ado . . .

My turnarounds~ 

The top one is "Butler Bot" and the bottom is "DJ 4.0" as it is rightfully named below.

 

Color Studies~ 

I had a lot of fun with these 

My favorite one is "DJ 4.0" but I do love "Butler Bot" <3
