Some Very Old Stuff

After a recent exhibition I took part in to show off some of my work, I realized how much I liked my crappy old stuff. Though rough in concept, entertaining to look at.

This was one of my first sophomore projects. Story...take an ordinary object and make it extraordinary. This idea came from a little up pig key chain that had an led emitting snout. Yeah...I multiplied it's size a little too much.


This was a character/logo I created during my sudden "Afro" phase. I don't why I like Afros so much, (I'm trying to grow one as we speak, but to no avail) but they just seem cool.

And last and probably least is my logo re-design for an IUPUI based company named TASI. I say this is least simply because of zero communication from their end resulting in a seemingly waste of time...but.....I did learn some things too. I just have to think them up first.

Facial Animation

Woohoo! I finally wired my facial morphs to a controller...and it actually works! Here's what I got...

In order, happy, angry, surprise, sad, fear, and last but not least, disgust.

Again, critiques are accepted

Progress so far

Hey guys. Just got done with a simple walk cycle. It wasn't to hard once I figured out how I wanted the doll to 'wobble'. It was also a little weird to do a walk for a character that doesn't have legs. So after a long week of rigging (boo), I can finally say I'm done and I'm ready to animate.

Oh and by the way, any critiques on the walk is much appreciated.

And here...we...go...

Here's the orthographic of my "Iron Doll". Pretty simple stuff eh?

Been a while...

Well, I'm back. After a long earned break. I'm gonna start posting a lot of my 3D work shortly, but first, I need to go through a lot of portfolio reviews and interviews before I get started. i am currently working on a TV commercial with a 3D model of an Iron Man plush doll I received for Christmas. Cute right? Well, the modeling is done, but the texturing and rigging are far from fun.

Will Post Soon

A little present...

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Creating a character

I've been busy over the last month with character designs and animations. Here's a character I came up with. His name is Dab, and he is bored. I guess I would be to if there was nothing but wilderness for miles. I gave him a little flash walk cycle, although it's more of a shuffle. I wanted it to seem as if he were kicking up dirt.
