Some sketches

To be honest, I'm just trying to fill up on some content. I should be posting everyday. Not for the chance of people seeing my sketches but as more of an incentive to just draw more. To quit being lazy. To just draw something, put it up and then to move on to the next thing. Now if you will excuse me, it's time for my nap.

WizardWorld Philly

I'd like to thank all that stopped by and looked at the art and sketchbooks of Asher,Brian and myself. I only wish more took a look.
We did get a lot of people coming over and taking some sample art cards that we printed but I was hoping to get to talk with the convention goers more.
Granted , my sketches don't appeal to many folks except degenerates and the criminally insane, and that I suspect most people find I don't look very approachable (based upon my looks).
Hopefully next time, I will set up my section of artist alley so it looks more inviting.
Oh , and maybe offer free beer.
I also plan on having my sketchbook available online soon. I will post up pages tomorrow.

Title Card

Usually when making an animated film,you work on the scenes that are most important first(I think)and not necessarily in the order that they are in. After saying that,I don't know why I started working on the title card first.It is so unimportant compared to the rest of the film,but I guess it's better than nothing.
So here it is,it's just a rough color comp.
I hope to have it finished boarded soon.I am also working on a series of short vignettes,to use as motivation for me, as well as examples to show the layout class I'm teaching.I hope to post them up soon.
Either way ,I really need to get on the ball and just get crap done.
The title means..."A shadow to love in return"....awwwwww.........whatever.

The Best Friend A Boy Could Ever Have

Im not sure anyone could ever understand how I felt about my dog.Maybe some do,others might not.But if you did know me ,or can relate,you will understand that no words could ever describe how I feel,or the bond and friendship I had with my best buddy,pongo.
He will always be with me.

It Starts

These are just some character sketches for a little short film(very short)Im doing ,just to start the animation ball rolling.I hope to animate stories and characters that are a little more interesting.But its a start.
These designes are a result of a lot of outside inspiration.You might see a little Hewlett or some of the style there doing in france(namely from the gobelins school),and from the cool art I see posted in the forums.Its hard to escape the influences.Im sure in the future you'll see all the other influences I have.Anyway,here they are.

Just testing the first post

Here is a picture or two.
