New Blog

For anyone interested, i also started a new Tumblr blog that i will use primarily for inspirational stuff, posting things that grabbed my attention. So far i am finding Tumblr super user friendly, but as i have quite a bit already here, i do not want to ditch blogspot just yet...
Anyway, check it out:

Back in business!

Well, it's been a while, but I am back to drawing again. Here are some sketches i did after going to CTNX, which was an absolute blast. I think I have inspiration to spare for months! Gotta work hard now, and get the animations done!

Also, here are progress reels for both my iAnimate Workshop 1 that I finished back in May, and Workshop 2, which I finished in August. Currently finishing off a dialog piece for Workshop 3, but that I'll post later, once it's actually done:)

A small Update

So, once again, I've been silent for ages. I tend to read a lot of other people's blogs, but I seem to forget to actually do something about my own. Well here are a few new things that I did in the last while:

Also, I have actually started on my way to animation! I have enrolled into the new school created by the one and only Jason Ryan, iAnimate.net, and have been doing my Workshop 1 for the last 2 months. Here are a few things to show my progress. Hope you enjoy!

That's it for now! Time to get more things going!

In beautiful Vancouver, and just got my Wacom back!

As a celebration for getting my Wacom Tablet back with all my other stuff from Germany, I decided to dedicate a little bit of time to the neglected child and did a small b/w painting study. Was definitely fun, and I am sure I will attempt to do the same thing again, but in color. Hope you enjoy!

Felipe Nogueira - Character TD Reel

Thought I should share the awesome work a buddy of mine, Felipe Nogueira, has done. Very, very impressive reel! Looking forward where this guy ends up being:)
