Some Cupid animation!

I've been playing with some Cupid animation for the couple of weeks trying to get a feel of how he moves.  I'm still gonna push this one a bit further for my reel I think and then try and get some flight animation done before CTN.  I might try some Psyche animation as well.

New digital painting stuff

I've been doing some digital painting stuff in photoshop over the last couple of weeks, and since I don't have a keyboard directly in front of me yet on the cintiq I haven't been able to comfortably do any posts.  Here are a couple of the paintings I've been doing.

I've been browsing through Modcloth since my sister and I are planning on going to DapperDay at Disneyland in February and was inspired by all of the pretty summery dresses.  I love the way dresses look even if I rarely wear them myself.

With this one I decided to play with a somewhat limited color palate.  I used yellow, orange, red, and violet.  I never really work with a limited palate consciously, and I need to do that more often.

Now onto some animating!

Cintiq set up!

My cintiq came in!  (as most of my facebook friends and twitter followers probably already know)  I'm still getting the hang of it, but it is so much nicer than drawing with my old tablet.

Here's a simple painting I did the other day.

Cupid and Psyche character sheets

When I get bored or art blocked I like working on character sheet for stuff I'm working on.  Here are some character sheets for Cupid and Psyche.  I'm working on ones for Aphrodite right now.

I've had these character sheets finished for a bit now, but no time to do up a blog post.  I'm going to try and get better about being more regular on here.  I don't know if there will be a post on Sunday as I my cintiq is coming in at the end of the week and I'll probably be getting it set up.

"In Waiting" The Finished Film

I finished animating my short film this week, hence no post on Sunday.   I've uploaded it to Youtube and now it is time to share it here.

May I present, "In Waiting."

Time of Angels

I finished this a few weeks ago, but have only just got around to posting it up here.  I was watching the Doctor Who series 5 episodes, "Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone" when the idea for this came to me. 

Updated Demo Reel.

I've just updated my Demo Reel.  It has some new shots from my short film that you haven't seen yet.  I'm only five shots away from completion on that so I'm not going to do an update on my short film until it's finished.
