Several stages of horse

Currently there is a assignment in post-production where each has to do several tasks within composition.

One of the tasks is to do a composition of your own choice. I then decided to make a CG animated horse, and then compositioning it on a live-action footage of a field.

These are four stages of the process, but the horse is still work-in-progress so pardon the stiff trotting animation. The three first is just playblast with the footage behind on a imageplane as reference, and the last one is the horse itself rendered.

Storyboard Panels

Some comparisons between the storyboard frames and background drafts

Render ball

I wanted to test out a metal shader, and at the same time experiment with rendering.
What better tool to use then a ball?

Deep - Watercolour

Experimenting with watercolour painting, in connection with the Deep project.

Quite tricky since this is my first experience with it.

Only dabbled with it back in elementary school.

Deep - Dark Forest

Some more background painting.

The protagonist walks through a dark forest, so I imagined a gray foggy forest.

Deep - Cottage background

I wanted to take another crack on the cottage in the forest, but I couldn't get happy with the result,

so I made three different versions.

Deep - Forest background

Worked some more on backgrounds, and decided to use the storyboard as template.

I was told to look at Snow White's backgrounds and see how they did it, and I noticed they use watercolours for their backgrounds.

I am not awfully familiar with making watercolour effects in photoshop, so I just decided to try around.

Deep - Forest

Concept art for Deep. 

This is a digital painting of the forest in which the protagonist finds herself in during the Snow White segment. 

Snow White - In colour

Decided to take the sketch and try out some colouring and shading techniques. Will most likely fix her up some more. Not happy about her hair.

Deep - Snow White sketches 2

Some baddie sketches, and one sketch of a scene where the protagonist interact with the gang leader.

Underwater house - Playblast and render

More work done on the underwater house

Deep - Snow White sketches

Some sketches for the Snow White segment of a movie project called Deep that I am currently a crew in.

Underwater City Map / Underwater House

 A "map" of the underwater city for the title sequence project. Simply made for modellers and matte painters to know where everything is around in the area.

Sketch and lineart of a common underwater house. Made for a easy reference for modellers.

Polygon Animation Test

More Life Drawings

Fish test: UV wrapping and render

Some simple UV wrapping and rendering of the fish being used in the title sequence.
The texture is going to be changed by a 2D artist in the group, so this is not final.

Deep Dark: Diary 1

First actual model for my Deep Dark short film. Will probably be the only thing 3D in it, while the rest is 2D.
This is just a quick mental ray render, so the lighting is off.
The model will probably change too, since I still haven't fully decided on which timeline the movie will be set in.
I'm going to put up more progress reports on my Deep Dark project, although I don't expect to have it done anytime soon, but I just hope for feedback so that I can get better.

Fish test

Test animation for a project. First time animating a sea creature.

Facial design

Another task for Albasia. Needed some facial design for the Houndorians, and I've rarely done furry characters. So I practiced with different angles and styles to find what would suit better in terms of artistic license and difficulty of animation.

Clothing design

Never thought I would try my hands on clothing design. I was set on the task to design clothing for the Houndorians in Albasia. I went for a mix between Persian and desert nomads.

Full body Ven

Some more test animation for Albasia

Ven Talks

Just some practicing on flash. Albasia has been converted into a animation project, so I decided to practice drawing and animating the main character. Lip synch was random, so I wrote down below what I think he said.

Naked Artistic Reading

Wanted to practice on female forms, as I develope a new drawing style. Then I decided to paint a background too, and then it just took off.

Digital Painting experimentation

Just a simple practice on digital painting, and decided to just do a portrait.

Split Bunny

Some practicing with Flash. A split bunny is not a happy bunny.

Teen Titan Raven

Practising on shading and anatomy, as well as some basic background

Albasia Concept Art: Training

Concept art of Ven doing some zen-kung fu practicing on his mentor's garden.

Meditation and Magic

Another piece of concept art for Albasia.

This one here is of Ven recieving teaching on how to learn magical potential through meditation.

Albasia concept art: Enemies

Albasia poster

Making a temple: The Process

More concept art for Albasia.

Here I'm showing the process for the creation of a temple which the enemy are using to harness the power to bend elemental magic to they're will by catching the energy straight from space.

11 Second Club Entry

My final version for the 11 second club competition.

11 Second Club May Competition WIP 2

Another update on my progress with the 11 second club submission. Improved the lip-synch, added facial animations and made the hands more expressive.

Ident

A small project where I was to create a ident for my course, using my own experimental animation and the college logo.

Cathedral Animation: Fishing in the Fog

The final edition of the Cathedral animation project.

Concept Art: Albasia

Some concept art I've done for a game project me and some other students from my course has started on.
This character is Ananda, who is a mentor for the protagonist. Imagine Obi-Wan Kenobi being a cow.
