BFBA #1

Try your best to make it matter, tattoo it in the clouds above you.
Nail it down with jealous bones, 'til it goes like a feather off on it's own.




BIG
FAT
BAD
ASS

It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it.

preventerWATER design























Design of my character in a Preventers comic jam on MMM.

I plan to shade this and add a proper background later (and in a bit higher res), but I've no idea when I'll find the time for that. So for now, and for purposes of the jam, here's preventerWATER.

Stuffed animal sketches























Sketches I did that may or may not appear on picture frames from some company.

Cagetoon


So a while back I was having a crap art day and couldn't get any of my ideas down so I decided to just draw an existing character. I started going with War Machine but realized that if I was going to draw Rhodey I'd better just wait and do my existing War Machine image idea, so I just went with a favourite and doodled Cage.

After a bit of it I was on a roll so I didn't get up or do anything else until I finished the sketch. For whatever reason, I just love the style this came out in, so I had to add a splash of colour.

Tough Love

http://www.furnation.com/Mikero/Collymore_M_Final.mov

My final for second year second semester Computers. The audio is taken from Talladega Nights (The Ballad of Ricky Bobby).

I can't upload it to Youtube or BlogSpot or anything because it always screws up the audio and timing. Trying to convert it has only turned up worse results.

Caricatures

A caricature assignment for my design final in second year animation. If you can't tell it's Eugene Levy without me saying so, then I didn't do a good job. Also, a self caricature.

The Pilot

The pilot that flies the ship that flies through the pan. Character rotation, skeletal rotation, and muscle study.

The Ship

The ship that flies through the pan. Here are some of the many thumbnails I did (green), and two angles of the rough final ship design (red).

The Pan








Second year, second semester assignment for design. A to D panning background.

You're missing about an inch, half-inch from the bottom but scanning that would have been hellular even though it'd help it look better. It's really annoying to scan such a thing as you have to do it in parts and the pan paper moves around and all this crap and then you have to match it up in Photoshop and get rid of seams and crap, I think I did an OK job of that considering how crap it scanned.
