Layout Drawings....

Hey hey! How's it going? I really have to get a little more active on this blog-thing. Sorry for any of you that would like to see more and also more often, I'm bad at commitment stuff like this, my mind gets distracted too easily :P. Anyways, I'm working on a school portfolio (yes, I am planning on going back to learn some 3D stuff) and I have to do the usual animation portfolio of the hands, life drawing, your bedroom, etc.

I figured since I just finished one of the views of my bedroom that I would post it now. It's ALOT cleaner then what my bedroom really is, but I figured it shows enough detail to get the idea. My room sortof is inbetween the small hallway and the kitchen, so my roomate has to wander through my room just to get to the stove or fridge. Hence why it seems my dresser/mirror isn't sitting at a wall.
I did this all straight in photoshop and it probably took me alot longer to do then what it should have. That's probably cause I'm more of a character guy then a background guy so I don't draw many backgrounds/layouts and it usually doesn't interest me as much so I get bored fast drawing them. So in turn I can easily get distracted (Resident Evil 5 has been the recent one).

Well, I'll probably take a quick break from the layout drawing and work on the hand drawings next before tackling the opposite angle of my bedroom. Enjoy and I'll probably post more soon with what's going in that schol portfolio. Ciao for now!

ZOMG! A Post!

It's been FAR too long since my last blog post. Overall I blame myself for not getting around to it. Though my last contract tied me up with ALOT of work. TOO much work. Here are some of the random drawings I've been working on lately.

Here are some Holiday Lane drawings lately:






These are some drawings for a design contest I never got to handing in.






Some sketches for one of my other stories ideas:


And some Sketches from drawing people at Starbucks or the food court:




There should be more to come.

Venture into the 3rd Dimension!

Wow...just wow. It has been a crazy long time since I have uploaded anything or posted.

Well...to kick off this stint of uploading/blogging, here are a few images. I have been slavin away at work on various projects and have been pushing to take some time aside to finally learn 3D and get some practice in. So here I have been working on something simple that doesn't really require rigging at all. I still have to find the time to texture it though.






This ship is the Exodus which I designed for this comic story called Novo Gaia which became a Chaos Jam (two artists taking turns drawing one page at a time) between Keith Jeter and myself.

My next 3D project is starting to model some backgrounds for an animated short I'm in the midst of working on. I'll post some tidbits as I get them done. But I'm currently swamped at work and still trying to find time to get the voice recording done. Two voice actors down, 3 to go!

That's it for now. More to come...soon?

First New Year Post!?

Ouch....Sorry for the lack of posts people. I've been busy but still could have found time I guess. Well...at least I have alot to say in this post!

I'll open up with a design sketch in the works for Holiday Lane. Below is a lineup of the whole cast for Holiday Lane. From left to right, theres:
John Smith, Jane Smith, son (name pending, daughter (again with the pending name), Death, Mother Nature, Big Foot, EB (Easter Bunny), the Tooth Fairy, Kris Kringle, Mrs Claus, Bonhomme DeNeige, an elf, Patrick, Cupid and Jack Frost.

Craig and I have been working off and on in getting Holiday Lane ready. So far what's been written out for the pilot and the first episode script is pretty good. Just first drafts are done right now so alot more still to go. Keep checking here or at my main website of www.canadianime.com for more information on Holiday Lanes.

Last night I just finished this comic page for a contest Global Comic Jam was running. I wish I was able to find more time to do more work on it (hense the many photoshop filters if you've noticed :/ ) but you can't win them all. I'm pleased at least with how it turned out. It's getting the comic drawing rust off. Check out the forums at Global Comic Jam for more details on the contest or others that may be starting off really soon.

So that about covers it for now. I should have more up sometime in the near future. Expect alot more Holiday Lane and the occasional comic page!

Merry Christmas to ALL!!
