GOT THE URGE TO DRAW AFTER BEING SO INSPIRED BY MY SUPER INSPIRATIONAL LAST POST.
Going to try and animate a 9 second sound clip in the same vein as the studio I'm currently freelancing at. Figure if anything it'll be good practice, get something new going for my reel.
Haven't been drawing much outside of work lately, so thought I'd post THIS LITTLE GEM (stolen from Shane Glines' Cartoon Retro).
So yeah, no big surprises here, I guess.
Been watching a lot of Mad Men lately, thanks to my brother! The whole look of the show is so stylized in itself, have been itching to draw some of the characters for a while now. Figured I'd start with Joan, just cause she's mad curvy and more interesting to draw than everyone else.
Still need to catch up on Season 3 before the 25th, WISH ME LUCK, Y'ALL.
Haven't been doing much sketching on my own lately, so just wanted to post some stuff I've worked on over the past few months. These are all character designs I did that weren't chosen for their respective projects, wish I could share the ones that were more successful, BUT THESE WILL DO FOR NOW:
After struggling with Vimeo for the past couple weeks I FINALLY have my shorts up online.

So the Senior Show was a big success. I still can't get over the positive reactions I got from the audience. Was honestly not expecting that at all, considering every time I'd show my progress for group crit no one would laugh. It really meant a lot to hear that my stuff was so well received, definitely a huge confidence booster.
Thank you to everyone who went last night, can't thank friends and family enough for all of their support. The whole day was just so surreal, thanks again for all the kind words :)
So the annual Senior Animation Show is just about 2 weeks away. TERRIFYING.
It'll be at the Brattle Theatre on May 13th from 3-5 pm, AND IT'S FREE, SO IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS, YOU SHOULD COME.
There's an after party following the screening at 601 Newbury in the Animation Basement starting around 7. THERE WILL BE BOOZE. And food..most likely just cheese. And apparently the after party is ~Jail House~ themed, so here's a caricature of myself I did for a prison line-up poster.
Almost done with backgrounds.
Haven't really drawn anything non-school/internship related in a while, so here's something quick I did today after seeing Kick-Ass. It wasn't cinematic gold or anything, but it was still entertaining. If anything, go see it for Hit Girl.
BAD. ASS.
The other one kind of gives away the ending, don't want to post any ~spoilers~.
But yeah, this break has not been as productive as I'd hoped. I don't know if it's because I'm out of the city or what, but I've definitely lost some steam on this thing. I was doing good schedule-wise, but now I'm a bit behind again. I know I would've gotten more done if I'd just stayed in Cambridge, but whatevs, I'm grateful to have had some down time.
After this scene, I think there are 4 left with very minimal animation. I created a bunch of textures for backgrounds today, will scan them tomorrow.
