How to get work in gaming

2010-04-26T13:32:00.002-04:00

Yep I'm pretty sure this is how it's done folks.

Layouts

2010-04-16T20:31:00.003-04:00

Not super happy with them but much better than expected. Need to be cleaned up a bit but meh....

Layout 1 - WIP5

2010-04-15T23:40:00.005-04:00

To be finished tomorrow, still lots to do! Big thanks to everyone for the critiques. Still need to act on your second critique Garib, thanks for that.

layouts

2010-04-15T23:32:00.002-04:00

not going to change much to hand in for tomorrow. but i would love to get some feedback, because i will be attempting something like this again. the planet layout really disappointed me, Its just too muddy for my liking.

layout 1

2010-04-15T22:47:00.002-04:00

this is my first layout i would say im halfway done but i still get a feeling i have some more work to do liek the trees, the sky, and especially the mountains

over the top

2010-04-15T22:43:00.002-04:00

this is my second layout personally im having trouble with this sucker if anyone can provide some feedback or helpful tips i would appreciate it alot thanks

Layout 2 - Wip1

2010-04-12T23:41:00.002-04:00

My second layout, just going at it in photoshop, no line art. Any crits welcome, still in the pretty early stages. This is going to be more of the speed/matte/ implied detail kind of thing. Not going for a super finished look.

Layout 1 - WIP3

2010-04-09T22:18:00.003-04:00

Hey guys, here's where I'm at with my layout. Made changes to the sizing, hes now a lot smaller. Also added tentacles creeping up from behind the walk way to imply a greater sense of danger and no escape. I'm having some issues on where to place foreground tentacles; any suggestions on that or anything else are more than welcome. Lost a lot of back ground detail to the JPEG, there are actually 2 round sewer grates in the top back behind Conan.

face

2010-04-04T14:51:00.002-04:00

this is a painting i did with the help of some tips the C class provided to me im wondering if anyone can tell me wat i can do to "funk" this picture up a bit maybe some different styles of painting or brush styles? would be great

Maquette: Marduke

2010-01-15T22:53:00.002-05:00

Hey guys, here are some turn arounds of the maquette. Other than a couple little things, I'm pretty happy with it.

Storyboard Illustrations

2009-12-18T17:52:00.001-05:00

Drawings get looser as I realize I'm running out of time...

my sculpture

2009-12-06T17:52:00.005-05:00

about 70% of the way there unfortunately this is where my production slows down to a turtle pace since i need to work on details and since the sculpey is too soft for that, i have to put it in the freezer for a half hour work on it an hour then repeat. this is gonna suck.

Maquette

2009-12-05T23:43:00.002-05:00

Almost there, maybe 90% done.

Digital Painting: Car

2009-11-21T15:22:00.004-05:00

Almost done the monster, still need to colour the teeth and top.

Not quite finished, still haven't done the under carriage area, not sure when I'll actually finish this.

Amazing classic animation

2009-06-29T23:12:00.003-04:00

This is a line test shot from the original drawings by Bill Tytla of Stromboli from Pinochio. Tytla is still regarded as one of the finest animators the industry has produced and this was almost 70 years ago. Tytla also animated Chernabog in Fantasia, another amazing piece of animation.

2009-06-19T06:13:00.004-04:00

Here's an updated self-portrait. Spent a little more time on it than the last one, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I kind of like the unfinished look of the neck and body.

Summer Job

2009-05-28T00:55:00.003-04:00

Hey, here's a sample of what I'm doing over the summer. The hardest part is cutting and keying (making the pieces work together) so that they can be molded and casts made. I'll post more process stuff on my blog if anyone is interested.

trooper part 2

2009-05-22T11:50:00.000-04:00

jsut another version of my swamp trooper but a completely different theme but same idea and A SHITLOAD OF LINES

Remember the first background painting?

2009-05-22T02:18:00.006-04:00

So some of you may already know, but I have to retake digital tools in the summer. I've just finished with the clean-up and colour of the background assignment again, and I think it's cool how far I've come in terms of my painting skills.

The first time: Rape van

The second time: Milky-way Desert

I kind of surprised myself. But anyway... yeah, that's my update.

for those who need help blending!

2009-05-21T14:30:00.002-04:00

hey austin, alright since you keep saying to people that they have to show you, i was doodling this morning and decided to try and demonstrate this with a quick sketch. Forget the drawing its awful, but i just wanted to show you the process in which to flesh out tones and bring some more clarity to your drawings. if you apply your wicked colour knowledge to a method like this (doesnt have to be this) you would really notice the difference in your work!
Good luck man, hope this helps, and is what you wanted to know

1st year animation

2009-05-13T23:34:00.005-04:00

Here's three final animation assignments from myself (Christien), Matt and Nicole.

First up is my final animation assignment, unfortunately I didn't have time to finish the final sequence (floating down on the unbrella):

Nicole's incredible disapearing sack:

Last but not least...Matt Barry's "Sack in a box":

I think everyone from our class' animation turned out really well. It's crazy how far we moved on from where we started last semester.

Week 1: Artist Challenge

2009-04-29T13:46:00.005-04:00

K so ben just informed me that Concept art.org has a weekly challenge: Creature of the Week
this is this weeks.
also check out this blog: http://1xsemana.blogspot.com/

Alrighty. so as you may or may not know. A few of us are trying to stay active in drawing and painting; so we have proposed a fun little Bi-weekly art challenge.
here is how it goes. The blog will be the main posting forum, and the challenge will change on a two week basis.

Week1: This will be a warm up, to see how it all flies, to see if anyone is even interested.

This weeks challenge has been inspired by Jim Graves and his sketch jam motif.
It is MONSTERS

oooga booga. So basically you have 2 weeks, post up some concept monsters, it can be anything you want, be creative and have fun. Sketches and painted work is accepted
see you soon guys! have fun and hope your creatures will amuse you!

remember anyone can do this! so spread the word

p.s. this is a great way to put those muscles into action! i know for a fact we all could have done better in life drawing; so lets use that knowledge and put it in creatures that do not exist!!

Bill suddick: "How I draw good caricatures"

2009-04-29T13:36:00.002-04:00

1. Make sure you get good reference for your subject. Try to get photos which actually look like them, Different angles are good.

2. With a front view, try to determine the overall shape of the head. Is it more round than square? Is it long? Is it wide? Does it resemble the shape of an object? (an egg, a pear, a banana, a bottle?)

3. Take note of t he dominate features and make them even more dominant. Make a big nose bigger, wide set eyes wider. I'll sometimes squint my eyes to blur the image making it easier to see the dominant features.
Another trick is to hold the photo up to a round, shiny surface such as an electric kettle. The reflection distorts the features of the face nicely, enabling you to see what they'll look like when exaggerated.

4. Make noticeably small features even smaller. Minimize or Omit

5. Look at how features are arranged on the face. If they're concentrated in the center squeeze 'em even closer together. Are they spread out horizontally? Spread them wider. Which way do the eyebrows slant?

6. Observe your victim's hair line. See where it starts in proportion to the rest of the face. Look at the shape of the hair. A person's hairstyle may be their distinctive trade mark (Donald trump). Look at texture- Is it curly, wavy, thinning, straight, wispy, fuzzy, kinky, non-existent?

7. Study the shapes of the facial features, especially the eyes

8. Try to draw the caricature with as few lines as possibly. This is called economy of line.

9. Make a number of sketches. Fool around with size and alignment of features. Play with shapes. Experiment to see what gives you the best likeness. Put your sketches away. Come back to them later and see if any one 'jump' out at you.

10. Some final tips: try turning your reference photo upside down to give you a fresh look. Something might become a little more obvious to you. To keep the face symmetrical turn your sketch over and look at it from the other side using a light-box. If your subject's face is way out if shape it will immediately become obvious to you.

Animation History Notes

2009-04-21T15:42:00.002-04:00

**** It's not entirely complete... so make sure you also read and study Zub's handout...

Animation History

1944 Clampett：”Buckaroo”, uses extreme exaggeration
Famous Studio (formerly Fleischer) did the original Casper
Tex Avery: Droopy Cartoon

- post war, Disney financially shaky, need to make films that make money

- puts together film ‘packages’

- starts to use contemporary music

- target audience turned into teenagers

- “Make mine music”

- Clampett: Book Reveu “The Great Piggy Bank Robbery”

- Tex Avery “King Size Canary”

- Disney – Melody Time (a set)

Robert Mckimson: Warner Bros famous character contribution – Foghorn Leghorn
Chuck Jones: “Rabbit Punch”, well established character
Tex Avery: “Bad Luck Blackie”, top 50 best short animation
1949, Chuck Jones did the first Road Runner cartoon, made almost as much as Bugs Bunny, well thought out sequences, little dialogue  international audiences

- After WWII, post war bliss in America, but fear of atomic bomb

- Disney started having educational touch to their cartoons

- “Rabbit of Seville”, Bugs Bunny cartoon, opera

- Chuck Jones did “The Scarlet Pumpernickle”, cameos by characters

Post war, television was popular, started having cartoons on TV
Crusader rabbit: first television animation
TV cartoons: shows must be created cheaply (pre-produced is expensive)

UPA  Fine Artists, uses shapes, very smooth

“Gerald Mc Boing Boing” no lush backgrounds or detailed animation, simple/minimal amount, not realistic

1952  “Feed the Kitty”, by Chuck Jones, WB, Oscar nominated

1952-1954  WB, 3 cartoons (trilogy) featuring Elmer + Bugs + Daffy

Disney  “Toot whistle plunk & boom”, use of UPA style (in wide screen)

1957  TV cartoon, Col. Bleep, who takes interest on earth because of atomic bomb

WB starts to get simpler on layout and composition, but focus on line quality
“What’s Opera Doc?”: music, staging
“Free Radical”: Abstract animation

1959  Rocky & Bullwinkle, first full colour TV Cartoon

1960 Mr. McGoo, only character UPA brought to TV

Hanna Barbera  left MGM to form own animated company (realized TV will be big), developed techniques for cheap animation that doesn’t look bad

Chuck Jones  takes over Tom and Jerry part 2, phasing out of WB, goes to MGM

PIXAR (1984)

- was financed by Disney

- used programmers to mathematically calculate motion (engineering, programming and artist contribution)

* John Lasseter: Andre and Wally B (1989)

- more like physics simulation rather than character simulation

* Story, design, models, animation by John Lasseter: Juxo Jr. (1955)

Red’s Dream (1987)
Tin Toy (1988)
Knick Knack (1989)
Gerrs Game (1997)
For the birds (2001)
One Man Band (2005)

Chris Landreth * Bingo the Clown (1997)

Bill Plympton * Your Face (1989), How to Kiss (1989)

Disney * Runaway Brain (1995) – attempt to reopen shorts department

Don Hertzfelt * Rejected (2000)

*50 Percent Gray (2001)

Louis Clichy * L’amour (2004), done in flash

Gobelins * Burning Safar (2006)

Supinfaoom * Sigg Jong (2007)

3 Act Play

1/ intro – all elements that make the story introduced (who, where, when), ends when the character makes the decision that can’t go back

2/ conflict – any type of conflict, keeps raising the bars

3/ resolution – can leave questions open but needs resolution

Character Arc  somewhere for them to go, character development, something to payoff

Character design- semester 2 final

2009-04-21T00:22:00.002-04:00

Its done! :) I'm fairly happy with the turnout; but as always you notice errors immediately after you exhausted all of your energy and time. 40-50 hrs burns you out.
Is there stuff I would love to change? Of course; but for the sake of the project and a finisher to a solid semester, I'm Happy

good luck and God bless.

Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2009

There's gonna be a kick ass comic art show on May 9th and 10th featuring Kid Koala, Scott McCloud and dozens of other international artists. Plus here's the best part:

IT'S FREE!!!

Zubby suggested that it would be a cool way to meet some fantastic artists and too shmooze with the local art community. Not to mention a great way for everyone to get together. I'll be there on Sunday the 10th, hope everyone else can make it.

brachialis : flexes forearm

Tricep: Extend the forearm at elbow joint

Bicep: Flexes forearm, rotatoes radius outward

Coracoid-Brachialis: draws arm forward and sideways, rotates outward

Anconeus: extends forearm

Pronator Teres: Flexes and pronates forearm, pronates hand

flexor carpi radialis: Flexes wrists and bends up

Supinator: Supinates forearm

Trunk:

Trapezius: Rotates scapula by lifting lateral end (the outside part) and pulls medial end (inside) downward. Also helps by holding together

Teres minor: Draws humerous outwards, and rotatoes arm backwards (adduction)

Teres major: Draws humerous outward and rotates backward

Deltoid: Abduction of arm, draws humerous forward and backward

Supraspinatus: upwards

Subscapularis: inwards

Infra:back

Serratus Anterior: Pulls shoulderblade forward (punches)

Pec Minor: Depresses point of shoulder (keeps arm in)

Pec Major: Adduction (draws arm downward and raises it up), moves upper limbs toward centre

Rhomboids: adduct scapula

External and Internal Obliques: Twist body

Rectus Abdominus (abs): Flexs/crunches

Lower Body:

Gluteus Maximus: Extension of thigh; adduction and lateral rotation of thigh; important in standing up right. Connection to Illio-Tibial band

Gluteus Medius: Abduction; lateral and medial rotation of inward thigh. Connection to Illio-Tibial band

Tensor Fasciae Latae: flexes and adducts the thigh, extends leg. Connection to Illio-Tibial band

Rotator Cuff of the femur: Piriformis (abducts and out), Objurator Internus (slight outward rotation), Gemellus superior and inferior (weak outward rotation), Quadratus Femoris (adduction and outward rotation)

Sartorius: Flexes les and thigh, medial rotation (crosses leg)

Quadriceps: Rectus Femoris (ontop), Vastus Lateralis (outside), Vastus Medialis (inside, teardrop shape), Vastus Intermedius (joins four heads); Extendsand flexes thigh. Mechanism of upright stance

Adductors: Adducts, lateral and outward rotation of thigh, flex; Adductor magnus, Pectineus, Adductor Longus, Adductor Brevis, Gracilis

Hamstrings: Biceps Femoris (flexes leg, extends thigh; outward rotation), Semitendinous ( flexes leg, inward rotation, extends thigh), Semimembranous (flexes leg, extends thigh)

Gastrocnemius: flex foot (toes down) and leg. Adducts foot, important in walking and standing upright. Plantar Flexion **

Soleus: Extends foot . Plantar flexion **

Tibialis: Flexes sole of foot, adduction and medial rotation

Tibialis Anterior: dorsal flex (arch in foot and up)

Peroneus Brevis and Longus: movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane (heel outward)

Extensor Digitorm Longus: Extends toes, dorsal flex (up) **

Flexor digitorum longus: flexes toes and soles of foot. Adduction of foot

**Plantar flexion is the movement which increases the angle between the foot and the leg, as when depressing an automobile pedal. The word "plantar" translates as "toward the sole".
The movement in the opposite direction is dorsal flexion. **
