A Dash of Sweetness

I'm a huge fan of designing themed treats. Here's a small sample. The first two are based on refreshments mentioned in the Pokemon series, and the third one is themed after the Broadway musical, Hamilton.

Character Work

Here are a couple of character lineups from a collaborative space-based story I've been writing with my friend. The first one is recent, the second one was recently revised from a lineup I did a while ago.

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.
