Life Update

I haven't updated in a while. I am still working on the layouts for my short. I'm still working on the most tedious one. I decided to print it out and draw in all the details with a pencil and then scan it back in. It's much faster this way. I wish I had a cintiq!!!! haha I finished drawing all the bottles in the coolers (pop, water, beer, soju, milk ect...) Now I'm drawing all the candy and chocolate in the aisle. I'm also drawing noodles... Once this layout is done, I'm going to be so happy... haha

On another note. I didn't want to update without a picture. This is a model I was working on during the past summer. Never got to finishing it. Maybe I should? I was going for a cartoonie look. It's a German soldier from WWII. I had fun building all the gear on his webbing. I am a WWII fanatic and can't get enough of it. Maybe I will work on this again once I purchase a nice computer that is powerful enough to render out some images. Other wise, I'm going to stick to 2D stuff for a while.

OHH and by the way. I have a job now! I'm doing graphic art for a TV show studio near my house. I get to work from home too. It's a pretty nice paying job with no stress and lots of time to work on my own stuff. So I'm rather enjoying it.

Progress

I drew this guy up today. I have been watching Boardwalk Empire. It's a pretty awesome show and I'm hooked now. I am also working on the animated short each day. When I wake up till about 5pm. I'm working on a layout of the inside of the FamilyMart now. It's a tedious layout. I'm drawing in every detail, every product and item in the store. I'm almost done the drawing and will soon be colouring it. :)

Animation Short

This is a BG scene from an animation short I'm doing. Some of you might know where the setting is from looking at the picture. I've had this idea in my head for such a long time and now I'm finally getting it out. It feels good! I'm working on all the BGs at the moment and soon I'll start my rough animation.

The short is going to take place in Seoul, South Korea. I've lived there for a while and I just want to capture the feeling of the city.

Animated Shorts

I have started working on an Animated short I have been wanting to do for a while now. I've completed the animatic and I am now working on the layouts with a good friend of mine.

I have an idea for another short. The picture above has something to do with it. I want to start on the storyboard for this short soon. I have to get in contact with some of my friends that wanted to be apart of this short as well.

The short I am currently working on is going to be traditionally animated since my home computer is not powerful enough to render nice looking 3D images. This short is going to be deep and filled with feeling and emotion. The layouts are going to be ultra detailed. (hopefully) ;) I'll post more on this soon.

Digital Painting

I haven't painted in photoshop in a long time. So i decided to paint my girlfriend for a Valentine's gift. I really enjoyed it. It's a nice breath of fresh air from working in 3d all the time.

3D Demo Reel

This is my 3D demo reel. I was in the Digital Animation Program at Capilano University in North Vancouver.

This is my 2D demo Reel from the 2 year Commerical Animation Program I took the year before. Enjoy!

Hand Out Portfolio

This is my hand out portfolio that I was handing out at the grad show.
My computer crashed and wont turn on now, so I had to scan the actual portfolio on another computer.
