Grey is… - Chapter 008: Page 01

One of my favorite webcomics of all time!!

Water Color Practice

2012-02-17T20:43:00.000-08:00

Painting has been something I've always wanted to get good at, but I always have had trouble. I really'd like to get better with water color, I'm actually not to bad with Gouache so, I've decided that all the pieces I do will have water color in them somewhere if I choose to color them. So here is a piece I did to practice more to come.

Nothing special as you can clearly see, my characters from my comic project Legacy.

Comic Relaunch

2012-02-03T18:02:00.000-08:00

So my friend and I have decided to take another crack our comic, Legacy, which is a bit of an epic, so for some motivation here are some sketches for it.

Augenblick Internship

2012-01-12T09:29:00.001-08:00

So here's just a life update on what I've been up too.

I'm in NYC now and I'm happy to say I got the internship at Augenblick studios!! So happy, hope it turns into a job. In the mean time I'm looking for other work to do, preferrably in my field so I can add more to my resume and just learn more in general. Hopefully all goes well.

Show Reel: Flippin' Stings

2011-10-18T21:23:00.000-07:00

Another update! So I get entered into the show reel section of the festival. Now it will be reviewed by a panel of people in the industry, can't wait to get feedback!

Updated Animatic

2011-10-16T14:45:00.000-07:00

Had this looked at and reviewed by the class on Thursday, there may be one more large overhaul on this, but after this end of this week it's full production time.

I'm trying to get better at the figure, and hands are still killing me. Been using a figure gesture drawing website.

Flippin' Stings UPDATE 2

2011-10-16T14:32:00.000-07:00

So the other day I got an invitation to enter my film in the show reel section of the festival. I would have to get up on stage and give a few words and get my pieces reviewed by a live panel of people in the industry. I would love to do it, but the problems is the festival is held in the UK and I don't have the money to get out of there in time for the festival, since it's so short notice. So I'm really disappointed, I'll contact them again and see if there is some other way, I'd really like to get reviewed.

Flippin' Stings UPDATE

2011-10-07T18:11:00.000-07:00

So...

I got a message yesterday saying I was accepted into the festival, I'm really happy. I didn't think my little piece would get in! Yay.

In other news I really need to finish my "Oh Fionna" piece and need to work more on backgrounds. More updates coming soon.

WIP - Work update

2011-09-30T19:32:00.000-07:00

Yep just some of the stuff I'm working on now.

This was a "visual music" abstract animation, I decided to go with more a story to one of my favorite songs, "Oh Fionna!" sung by Gumball (Neil Patrick Harris) from Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake. I have to go back in and adjust stuff, and there is about 10 seconds left to animate on this song.

This is an illustration that I did for my comic project "Odine" which is on hold until "Legacy" really gets going. I'm really trying to improve my color theory, I was trying to push the depth with this one.

The life of Mr. Fancy-Hat

2011-02-03T17:07:00.000-08:00

I am developing a collect of animated story books surround a character named Mr. Fancy-Hat.

“The Wonderful Mr. Fancy-hat” is an idea for a series of shorts set to my favorite pieces of classical music, and narration. The story centers around a magician, Mr. Fancy-hat, and his attempts to win the heart of a girl named Lily. A long the way he picks up a few friends, a mischievous rat named “Ponzetta Di Mousey” a.k.a "Ponzi" and his side kick an enchanted coat rack, "Mr. Sophistico". In addition to trying to court his maiden he must contend with his bitter rival Mr. Bloodstone.
