Adventure Time me?

Summer summer.. I drew this to get it out of my system. And because I LOVE Cartoon Network's Adventure Time! It'sa me!

Disco Frog Scientist!

Finished up the year with my disco dancin afro frog/scientist story idea being approved for my senior thesis. It's going to be awesome! I'm pumped!

Thesis story 2

Just an update of a second idea I have for my thesis short story. Little girl battles some crazy weather.. time and space itself.. to get to an ice cream truck. Sillyness ensues.

Pre-pro day 1

All right, now we're getting to the big guns here. Today was my first day of pre-production, the class that you develop your thesis story in. We pitched 5 ideas today and this is what I had approved! I'm very excited to work on it! It's a story about a bald scientist who's experimenting on frogs to find a cure. More on that later!

Push Pull Natural

Here's my latest computer animated short! We spent about 7 weeks modeling, rigging, animating, and lighting/texturing. It's pretty awesome to see all my work put together into one movie! Next up on the agenda is a highly exaggerated version (think Looney Tunes). Enjoy!

Lipsync Caricature!

Here's an update from my DFA (Drawing for Animators) class. We're modeling a caricature of ourselves in Maya next semester, so we just finished our designs for that. It's meeee! Click on the image to open it fully. Blogger's upload made the colors too muddy so I used Photobucket.
