Body Rotation

This is a Body Rotation were made for class. I made mine a super villain, she's kind of like a cyborg night-time bank thief. 


This is the rough animation cleaned up in flash.

My World

This is a perspective piece I made in art fundamentals I coloured it in Gimp. I find I really love to draw old styled Dutch houses a lot.
The first Layout image here was inspired by a video game called Primal. I saw some of the designs in that and really took to it for inspiration. Since forth I've made more images here conceptualizing this world of mine... Which doesn't have a name yet. I think Annebell from my previous posts might be the character to inhabit this world. I'm not completely decided on that yet though. It's still a work in progress.




This is a figure sketch from Life Drawing and some gestures as well.




Line-less

This is a new character I have that is in the making, I think her name is Annabell or perhaps Isabel  or something else that has "bell" in it. Not entirely sure why. Anyway her concept is like being a black widow, hence her entire. A ruthless murderer in a plot I'd rather not say until there's some sort of development to show anyone who might be checking this out. 

Regardless this is just some line-less art of her that I've been trying to develop. I've been desperately trying to improve and get to somewhat of a comfortable stage with line-less artwork. From studying Sam Neilson to Bobby Chiu to now Charlie Bowater, this is where its at, at the moment. I've seen some paint straight on into it, some use a grey image behind and others use blocked in color. I'm still working out the kinks in what's going to work for me. I've tried blocked in color which is the example below of Omar and here I used a grey underneath to put the color on top. Personally I don't like it but its a better success than I've been having. 

Sadly even flash won't do justice for what I'm after, so I doubt she'd be put into that for animation.
This was heavily inspired by the movie "Daddy I'm a zombie" I liked the art a lot and the characters. Especially the one named Katie she has a cool design. 




Omar - This is a character I sketched out for someone who wanted it as a tattoo, I think I'll give him the line art so maybe it will hurt less. Lol jk.

Box Paradox

Box Paradox 


This is a small animation project I decided to make during my week long break from school. 
Its highly based off the Schroedinger cat theory, which is basically a thought experiment.

There are many things symbolizing this in the animation which include the following (spoiler alert for the following paragraph):

She refuses to look in the box, but until doing so the object inside the box takes on all structures in her mind until it is finally observed.
The conditions in her life are considered true until concretely proven by looking inside the box
She looking at everything in life, including this box as something that's dead( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat ), because she won't look at another side of things to show that it could be alive. So therefore her life is very dead.
Her mindset is trapped in the little world she lives in and she can't see outside her comfort zone in order to make a change in life. So shes Trapped in side a box (her house) with a box, until she can manage to open up her mind and leave her comfort zone.
Its this case its not the cat that's in the box, its her mindset and her life.
