Super Cool Project! SNEAK PEAK!

Having a BLAST working on 55+ characters for an AWESome project that for now is "confidential"-.

Of the 20 or so that I've done so far, these are the tamest and least offensive (to the easilly offended) of the lot! All I can say for now is it's probably in the R rated category and one of the coolest, funnest projects I've been fortunate to be a part of and they LOVE my craAzier stuff!...so soon as I am permitted to give the details, I will!

KID BOOK SKETCHES

CONCEPT ART / CHARACTER DESIGNS FOR PENDING PROJECT.
FUN work-hope it goes thru....and needs animating...

Gotta LOVE that Cintiq!

Could it be?...another zombie game? I sure hope so

I sure hope so!
Still working on finishing up the muscle crow Elvis zombie...
Mean while got another inquiry on different game needing, you guessed it, Zombie character designs.
Actually I had 3 different inquiries on zombie games that I used these for and one client loved them so it wasn't 30 minutes wasted.
Hopefully this comes to fruition as I really dig this kind of work and am continually learning more cool flash animation.

TEASER FROM LATEST PROJECT

Sooo far behind on blogging-gotta get some live work up soon-Promise!
In the meantime, I'm having a BLAST working on a scripted Comic strip project for an animation studio-character designs, backgrounds, etc.
I'll post da WHOLE thing HERE soon as I get the OK!
So here's a little Teaser to stir the WTF cortex of your brain....

SNOOKIE

This is the 1st CHARACTER design for a new project! (waiting on approval)

There's lots of Celebutards and some characters that actually deserve their fame!
I'm amazed that this crap garners any media-WOW a drunk joisey ho falls down-STOP the PRESSES!!
Dog bites man-not news...man bites dog-that's news...drunk ho falls down..supposedly news?...

Tinker and the Hare

Finally finished this fun Tinker & the Hare animation short for Early Days productions.
Here's the poster/ cover for it.

More Approved Character designs for iphone app!

Just finished up more Approved Character designs for iphone app
PROBably titled ZOMBIES VS SENIORS, but still not confirmed yet...
I really LOVE doing this kind of work but I'm Dying to see the finished game on ipad!
Hope it gets done soon!
These are the approved finals from the previous posted bowler, viking, brute and chorus dancer.
Got the animations done too-I'll try to post them soon.

Character designs for iphone app

STILL going on with this iphone app- more new character sketches-Opera Viking, Bowler & Brute.
VIKING is my fave!....but now I have to draw them from 3/4 overhead view like all the others.

more Character Designy Grad Gift Flash Caricatures!

I think the Evel Kneivel and Hamlet are my favorites....

Character Designy Grad Gift Flash Caricatures!

Just finished up a bunch of these gifticature character design toons.
These are more in the style of Saturday morning cartoons-which flash lends itself to very well IMHO.
I enjoy these as a change of pace from the crazier exaggerated stuff and it's a nice exercise to try out different styles....and It's a lot of fun too-Thanks Bernd!

ANIMATION-CHARACTER DESIGNS

SO here are the approved tweaked Hare & Lemming...minor color changes.
(Turtle still being reviewed at this point...)

ANIMATION-CHARACTER DESIGNS

I have an animation short project going on right now-it's probably my biggest animation task to date-to be 4-6 min iin length at finish.
I thought it might be cool to go thru my process step by step in hopes that it helps somebody or compels somebody to tell me what I'm doing wrong-either way I'm open to constructive criticism and advice.

So my 1st step is nailing down the character designs from client's description-
TURTLE-Intelligent , inventor, climbs in and out of shell, uses shell as race car, equips shell with his many inventions.
HARE- self assured blow hard, always running in place, usually dressed in running apparel, dislikes carrots, prefers protein shakes.
LEMMING-not bad just easily persuaded, should look dopey, not very intelligent.

Here's my 1st rough designs...

Kids book illustrations- MAYBE?

Quick character designs and concept sketches for potential project-either way I really like the cigar bunnies....

FARTING AT TV-FLASH ANIMATION FOR IPHONE

FINALLY got the Zombie Flash animations to look (almost) as good as on Flash program. Soooo here is my 1st zombie character animation w/ sound fx-too!
more to come-IF this works..

Memory Sketching-Silver inspired

I've always been inspired and influenced by the brilliant work of Steve Silver, lately I've really tried to study his approach.
I've always done memory-sketching of faces, but he introduced this brand new aspect of it, challenging as hell, but fun as Hades-it's memory sketching FACE AND POSTURE. These are a few from my latest stabs.

These peeps were all in my Dr's office. One guy was grumbling to the girl behind the counter about filling out forms.
He kept talking to himself loud nuff for all to hear..."Same SHIT as Last Time!...he had great face and a flesh scarf of wrinkles in back of his head. Another guy walked round with his belt unbuckled, and this girl had a cool belt buckle.
I like these but over all I grade meself b-, c+ for capturing the actual posture...the grumbling guy though is A+!

MORE FLASHES-AHHH AHHH
