Summer Artwork

It's been a long time since I've updated this blog, so it seems fitting to start my first post of the new semester with a summary of the art I've work on over the summer months away from university. Comparing this summer's work to the work I produced last year, I think I can see two separate style between which I alternate; that of traditional pencil illustration (sometimes digitally coloured and textured) and that of a more painterly, line-less style. I believe that since last year, my handling of shape and depth has improved, as well as the precision of my line art. However, points I have identified to improve include working out more refined colour palettes and working on my composition, as well as gaining a better understanding of lighting.

3D Environments

Below is featured the 3D environment model on which I have been workling lately. The first video shows the model with all textures and lights, the second one without.

 

 

 

 

Dance animation

Below is the final dance animation I had to complete for the Motion Studies Module. Whilst it was a little frustrating and difficult to work with the limited model we were provided, I am still pleased with what I managed to create in the end.  The second video is a showreel of all of my 2d motion studies work, and my full dance animation.

 

 

 

Dance Life Drawings

A collection of life drawings done during a dance rehearsal. It was extremely interesting to have to draw so quickly and to reference poses as they moved and changed constantly.

 

 

Some more creature head designs. This is really further practise in concept design and coming up with ideas quickly.

 

 

Short experimental animations - using various methods to inform my 1 minute animation.

 

 

 



Animated skip cycle - I used adobe flash for this project and one of the aims was to include moving hair and clothes.
