Hero Rez Final

Linear pass after some critiques and reworks, aaaand...

Final pass!

Animation Practice

Some practice animations from last month.

Hero Res Blocking Part 2

I felt the story of the original animation didn't deliver the punchline as well as I wanted it to. I decided to place more focus on the mage character--giving her some time to rush over, consider the situation, then act. Since she gets a mini character arc, her frustration at the end has a little more value, and the joke lands better.

Hero Res Blocking

Here is the beginning stages of an animation for my reel. I wanted to challenge myself to animate weightlessness and kinetic spell casting. The video is a pass of very rough posing and timing to make sure the concept is there before I start hashing out any details.

Just an animation sketch of a stretch. No detailing or polish pass. 

Pose Practice

I want to sharpen my posing skills, so I referenced a few poses from photos, 10 minutes each. I picked my favorite pose from the set, and made it into an idle animation.   

Digital painting practice experimenting with keeping the line art intact or painting over it.
