Im Back

so im back from Chicago now, i had learnt a lot from this project, hopefully when its done i will post up the final result. But for now i need to find another job. Times are hard these days and right now i don't have the portfolio to get a job in the place i want so what im going to do is work on my showreel for a while. In the mean time i am going to be using my creative skills to get a job else where. Right now i have been given the opportunity to work for Bea couture, a Kent based bridal designer who needs to revamp her image.

Calabash studios

I have been in talks with a studio in chicago called Calabash Animation, they create Animated adverts for Products such as Luckycharms Cereal and Trix yogurt

This is one of their luck charm adverts to see what they produce


I managed to get work with them as a freelancer on their new project which is actually quite exciting. I cant tell you anything right now, but for my first working project its actually a pretty good piece to start on.

Living in america!

so i am messing around with some modelling lately, this is a house i have created in the style of one of Brittney lees illustrations. its not really finished or textured yet so still have a fair bit to do but once its done i think its going to look pretty dope!

P.S sorry about the lame angle, but i am having mouse issues! laaaaame

Lonely

ok so this is a style that im trying to get right, its a Brittney lee style of painting. I love her style of painting. What i've tried to do here is to use the gradient tool to get a nice shade and blend of colours. today i think im going to model some stuff up! so probably more mosts later in the day! :) i should be starting work this week, so fingers crossed! once the job is 100% secure ill let you know what studio it is.

Stargate piece

its late, im tired. this is stargate.... the pyramid, but i thought having a solid black pyramid would look cooler. i am just trying to play with the brushes in photoshop, i havent painted for tiiiiiimeeeeeeee. hope your sleeping well. x

Stages

Things are really hectic for me at the moment, i have secured a freelance job in Chicago, so i am just finishing off the paperwork for that, but while im doing that i thought i would upload some photos. These are some photos of the original vine house piece. As you can see the pencil drawing was really different from the fine liner finish.

A House of Vines

So i have been really busy recently, iv'e moved to Chicago for a few months. Trying to get some work out here. While out here I've done some sketches, I've been practicing some different styles and techniques.

This was A5 in Fine-liner.

Youtube Showreel

I finally started a youtube account, so my showreel is up on youtube too!!
:)

Fantasia CV

So i have been really lazy recently, lazy but at the same time i've been working loads! if that makes sense! 'ive been getting my CV together which has been quite strenuous, because i am a bit of a perfectionist it took me 3 different CVs to finally get one i liked! the first ones were too feminine. I just thought it was giving off the wrong impression of me.

This was the image i used on my final one, it is inspired by Disneys 'Fantasia'
I am going to do a couple others like this, because i feel it really works

Updated Pinup

I updated the pin up drawing this morning! its looking really nice now! i think im slowly finding my style in digital art!!!! :)

Pin up series

i had the idea of doing a pin up series and seeing if i can sell the illustrations!
this was the first try at them, i may use this in the collection i may just use this as a practice, i can certainly see myself improving!!

Red Alert

see what i am trying to do is to find my style, find out what i can do, and what i enjoy to do, i want to be able to create beautiful art wihtout too much time, but at the moment its just taking too long, this took me a couple of hours,

Flowers in Love

this is a border i created for some of my work. I am trying to thicken out my portfolio of illustration at the moment. I plan to do some short concept art courses soon, as i need to actually be taught some of the more technical side of the digital painting.

2011 SHOWREEL

This is my showreel from my 2 years of animation in university!!

Mermaid Update

For some reason i woke up at 8 this morning!
urgggghh! Now my normal morning consists of me drawing something, but i decided to update one of my old drawings! ive been needing to do this for a while! so here it is! my nearly nearly nearlyy! finished painting!
unfortunately studying animation has made me a perfectionist so i will keep on updating this image untill i am totally happy with it!! :) enjoy!

me jane u tarzan!

This is a work in progress of jane from tarzan, i can see my art getting better!!!
:D

My last submittal

So i finally handed in my last project at university, it has been a roller coaster but am amazing experience.

I just wanted to evaluate my work in this project. The collaboration project was an exciting experience working with a large community of people to achieve one goal. I have realised that i would rather work on a large project than my own animations. It feels more satisfying knowing your work is going to put into a film. The spyder chase scene was a fun little project too, i created a short chase sequence with my friend chris while he was animating a man free running i animated a robot chasing him. it actually ended up working quite well! i had created a quick flying sequence for the chase scene that i thought could be quite nice, but we decided not to use it in the end. Unfortunately we had to create and finish it within a week or so as the rust project i have been working on collapsed due to poor rigging.

I am really happy with my single character performances, the female one, i feel needs some more work, but the 5 second male piece works really well in my opinion, the only thing is that the arms on the rigs were a little fragile to work with so it was quite a delicate procedure to animate the scenes.

The horse rigs worked really well, but for some reason i couldn't render out the walk cycle, the play blasts worked fine and so did the view port, but whenever i rendered it out the animation would go a little weird. i think this is something ill have to look at as i really want the walk in my final showreel.
