Evelyn portrait; Crayons!

Just a little portrait of Evelyn wearing her hair-towel. At one point, Radar's stomach growls mightily, but she can't hear it over the noise her hair dryer is making.

My Advanced 3D class was given an assignment: Produce a 7-second animation that tells a complete story. We worked in groups of three; my group produced the following video. My responsibilities included modeling the crayons, animating the coloring-page scene, and post-production. My groupmate Melissa animated the texture on the page to make it seem like the crayons were really coloring, and my groupmate Kat was responsible for the scene with the pencil sharpener. We had three class sessions to complete the project.

Dog Reference

As I worked on Evelyn and Radar, I realized that despite having two big, goofy dogs at home, I really had no idea how a dog was built and how it moved. I looked up some dog anatomy on Google, and discovered that they're constructed pretty interestingly!

I've been watching my own dogs more closely now, and they're pretty inspiring. They'd be better models if they did something other than sleep all the time.

Updates!

Been a while! I've got some shiny new stuff to share this week, including one of my animated projects, so stay tuned!

I've been hard at work on my senior thesis here at MICA (eek!), and have generated quite a number of sketches and peripheral-type pre-production artwork.

My thesis involves a young woman named Evelyn and her dog, Radar. Evelyn is preparing for a date, and realizes that she's late. As she rushes to prepare, her dog Radar keeps begging to be fed. Will she make it to her date? Will she remember to feed the dog? You'll have to wait and see!
