Layout Yo!

Ahhhh just when you need to go....

Here's a layout for a collaborative project we are doing in concept class.
Now go to Nick's blog for the interior.

Primitive Theater

Here's a wholesome cow-tipping story for you:

Phyllis The Snobby Girlfriend

Ah life at Ringling is good--sleepy, but good.

Ralphie the Fox

Yay done with my model sheet for Traditional. As you can see, this fox is very "special." It was my first time drawing completely with the tablet. It took quite a while to get use to but it worked out alright. At this point I don't know which is faster, pencil or stylus.

Now that's do that again for Concept plus 25 more silhouettes. Yay!

Foxes and Peps

Some development drawings for traditional and concept character designs:

My Sauntering Flour Sack

"Tra la la la la... what's this? A gorge!? Well I the sauntering flour sack will make short work of that...."

With Nilah's lovely description.

Learn How to Dance with Nick and Yezi

We had to record a skit as a part of our concept development class. Here's the slate for the actual skit. With dance moves this good, you don't need to see the rest:P

Good O' Figure Drawing

Some gestures:

The Famous Butt Race Across Ringling

Take a 'tour' of the animation department with the CA freshmen! Wish I was apart of it! :(

RIGS GONE MAD!!!

With little knowledge of the rigging process, my Primitive Theater is coming along...slowly. I do enjoy entertaining myself by playing with the models though, you sure can't do this with 2D animation.

Runaway pupils:

Picasso cow:

More Animals

Alright, pointy cow it is. Here's the pig as well. I still need to figure out how to add nostrils, add tails. rig them...I feel so behind in 3D!

Early Cow Models

WHICH ONE WHICH ONE??? Pointy or curvy legs?

Primitive Theater Designs

I decided on a cow-tipping story:



And check out this World Cow I found online:

Illest of the Ill

Illest of the Ill 2007: Friday Sept 28th, 7pm at the Ringling Exhibition hall
Illest of the Ill showcases work from the illustration department. The posters look amazing. Be sure to check it out if you are in the area. I'll try to take some pics.

Yannick Puig: Great Design

Here's a couple of animations of Yannick Puig. I'm really impressed with the visual design of both of these films. Good design is hard to find in 3D animation these days.

Flour Sack

A basic jump practice

No More Balls!

Finally! Moving on to flour sacks and primitives.

Life At Ringling

This post is dedicated to Betsy Bauer whom makes my blog seem important.

Ringling is very demanding and has high expectations for its students.


But never fear! There is plenty of fun and relaxing activities on campus to balance out your life.

Such as Dodgeball...


...and dance lessons.


And if you are in animation, this is how the rest of your time is spent:

Location Revised

This would have gone so much smoother if I had my tablet!

Location

"Our heroes wondering in the jungle stumble across a clearing in the foliage. They discover a path that leads to what seems like the ruined remains of an ancient city. There does not seem to be any inhabitants around, however, the broken human statues entangled by tree trunks bear forlorn expressions and eerily suggests something terrible happened here. Our heroes approach with caution…"
