Bella and the Monster

Beat Sketch #2 (haven't finished #1 yet after it was deleted v.v)


Bella is reading a book by flashlight in bed. The room is meant to be very dark, I was going for very little light in this piece. Perhaps I will post my reference to give some idea of the mood I'm going for in this film.

Worst Case Scenario


While flipping through blogs I came upon Adam's worst case scenario picture (which is brilliant by the way). This of course inspired me to do my own. So here it is!

If I were to fail as an artist I would go to Dalhousie's arts and science program to become the most insanely evil mad scientist the world has known! Many of my nefarious plots would involve genetically engineering pigeons to blitzkrieg Sheridan college with... well that's enough revealing my plans...
>_>
<_<

MWA HAHAHAHAAAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHA AAAHA!

Animation, Layout and paintings, oh my...

Firstly paintings:

I did not design or draw this layout (above) but I did colour it in photoshop as our first painting asignment of this semester.

The next one was also given to us, but as part of a layout assignment everyone had to draw the same layout from a slightly different angle as the example we were given. This was not painted from my layout but is pretty much exactally the same anyway. The assignment was to remove all the lines so I only put a stroke along the edges that I wanted to excentuate.

And in 3d, I modeled my digital camera. Which I still can't find the cord to! Ahem, the only problems I have with it was a lack of rounded edges and it's not shiney enough. I also did the back of the camera but this is the only rendered image I took of it. I made it so that it could be rigged to actually move like a camera, but I don't know how to rig yet so I didn't go that far.


As for the animations, I'm uploading them as I type this there are 3 assignments from animation class and one layout I did. So I'll link to them once the extreamly long process of uploading ends.

Westerns


So, I'm working on my material for my western story. Namely the pitch. And the Dewey Cox music Hugh's playing is very distracting.

Enter the Hero, our Gunslinger:


Not quite what I have pictured now, but a nice little thrown together picture for tomorrow.


Our heroine, the love interest:


And the villains, the only two I have names for, Sheriff Billybob Jones (Meagan will understand the significance of this name) and his sinister lackey of a little brother Nedd Jones:


I think I'll be keeping this last style from now on for all my work on this project, possibly with a little more flourish to the outlining; more noticeable thick and thins.

Well that's all for now.

Madness




I finished another sketchbook yesterday, so since everything else is on the school computers I'll post some pieces of it, mostly it's just my madness coming out in sketch form.

I notice a trend.

A lesson about eye direction, be careful while watching those flies:

Flies these days may come equipped with ray guns. Stay aware, stay safe.

It's times like these I wonder how I got into Sheridan Animation... and then I remember that I probably could draw if I wanted to; but I don't care when it comes to my sketchies.



I've found that some students get obsessed about what they show of their work and who sees it. But it's nice to just let loose and draw something completely crappy for the sake of weirdness. It's very relaxing.

And it gets the crazy out so when I do a project it doesn't turn into alien cheese monsters taking over the Bluenose and trying to use it to destroy all of Canada only to realize that most of Canada is inland and thus the bluenose is useless, not to mention that it's not actually equipped with heat-"seaking" missiles as I once believed as a child. And thus they'll have to take a sea-king and fly it into the parliment buildings.

Damn... I like that story... I need to re-write my storyboards.
