The square root of 9 is 3

Was watching Whose Line while drawing.

Anyways, on your left is another pirate character (finally started watching Crusoe) and the one on the right is a drawing session with Andy and Janice.

A traveling salesman....whom ended looking like a conman...

1st year demo reel

There are a lot of other projects missing in this, but basically the jist of my first year stuff in Sheridan Animation and some personal artwork.

Since my year seems to revolve on pirates, I thought it would be appropriate that I use something pirate theme-wise and who better than Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean "Drink up me Hearties Yo"

 BTW, Premier is so much better than Movie Maker :| And I waaaant iiit!!!

More layout

Still a work in progress though I stopped coloring for now =_=


This is what happens when you listen to the Cast Away soundtrack for a long while.

First year paintings

Alright, I am ashamed to show this, but I did promise I would submit my paintings once the year is over. So I present to you the crappiest paintings I could come up with.

This one, Maureen had us paint textures. It's an Orange, a mini Domo keychain, a shell and my phone.


For this one we had to do Master Copy; basically paint an existing background from an animated movie. I chose Mulan.


For these 2, we were to do opposites (warm and cool, interior and exterior, etc). This probably was my crappiest paintings out of the ones I submitted.


Then there was Ficto Planet. For the life of me I could not think of anything but plants that day..... So I ended up with this. I ended up sort of liking it kind of? A big thanks to Winona for helping me with this painting. She gave me a lot of suggestions and tips and critiques.

My second favorite of the painting assignment (mostly because of the 2nd painting). This was for Emotional places; we were to paint the same layout with a different color scheme for each. I never found out how Maureen felt about the 2nd one since that class was the only day she decided not to do critiques....




I think, along with the opposites assignment, Novel Interior was my weakest painting. It took me so long to find a good novel with enough description. I ended up choosing Memoirs of a Geisha. Still, it's pretty weak and ugly if I do say so myself.




And my favorite out of all of them; Character-in-Setting. I had meant to paint a ship rather than a dungeon. I even had a layout ready....then I forgot I didn't know how to paint. It took me a while to get a good idea. But with the help of repeatedly watching Sinbad and Tangled, I ended up with this. And it turned out to be my personal fave if I do say so myself.

Captain

After the flour sack, I had too much paper left. So, instead of giving them to people who needs them, I spent the last 3 days (Wed-Friday) test animating my captain. And I'm actually pretty happy with how she turned out.


The other character at the end of the video belongs to Stacy Maynard. We both wanted our character to interact in a way in the animation.



flour sack

This time, for our final project for animation, we had to animate flour sack. And I gotta tell you, I had more fun in this than I did with the head turn... maybe because I had a lot of freedom on it?


CAUTION: THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR TO ANYONE WHO GETS OFFENDED EASILY! THIS DOES NOT IMPLY ANYTHING! ANYONE WHO WILL POST SOMETHING STUPID SUCH AS CALLING ME CRUEL, HEARTLESS, HORRIBLE PERSON WILL BE VIRTUALLY SLAPPED IN THE FACE.

Art is freedom.
