It's about time

Go get 'em, Starsky from kyleMR on Vimeo.

Finally getting around to posting this. A little test I finished about a month ago. I still want to try another pass at polish and get a decent render of it, but for now, here ya go.

More projects

Just something I whipped up today... playing around with the character I posted earlier, roughing out an environment and playing with some lighting for a look and feel shot. Plenty of post in Photoshop :P

Background art dump

Here's some drawings and paintings from my background art class with Peter Moehrle. I was taking the class last year, but dropped it in order to ease my workload and spend some more time on other projects. It's been cool to see how much I've improved at this sort of stuff since last year.

Projects

Been working on an animated short for school. Here's the character so far... missing some details at this point, and it's just a rough texture so far. Lots more to do!

Just playin

I decided to check out Josh Burton's Morpheus rig, and after playing around with it, I'm going to use it for my next little shot. I've been doing some little tests with it to get familiar with its functionality. It's a really fun rig, with a ridiculous amount of control! So here's a quick sassy morphy lady :)

Pose Assignment

Part of an assignment for my current animation class :)

Siggraph Aftermath

Whoo! Just got back home from Siggraph, and I am EXHAUSTED. At the same time, I'm feeling totally supercharged. To all the cool folks I met in Vancouver, you guys are awesome! It was great to geek out with everyone. Wishing you all success in your studies and professional endeavors.
Now that I'm back, I feel like I definitely have a better understanding of the direction I need to head in. I'll definitely be heading back out to Siggraph 2012!
I did a fair deal of sketching in between production sessions and screenings, so as soon as I get a chance, I'll post some of those pages.

Stay classy everyone!
