Here’s my animation reel. Clocking at just a little over a minute, I think it sums up pretty well what I’ve been up to. The clips include work from my short films “The Fox and The Baby” and “Her Lion’s Jump” as well as from freelance work I did for UCLA using the Joe Bruin character that I redesigned just for the spot. Also, there a couple of clips from a commercial for Dodge that I worked on at Stardust Studios – I animated some background characters and assets and assisted lead animator Robin Steele with some inbetweens for the hand drawn animated cars. The song “Now and Then” is by Marcel Camargo and can be downloaded in its entirety here:

Ok, so I lied in the previous post. Those sketches are not for chapter 2, but rather 3. But, you know, that’s story. It’s a constantly evolving thing – it’s neither progression, nor regression, but rather, evolution. So, things change, but the good news is that inking for chapter 2 is almost done, so maybe it’ll be posted in another week or so? (Crossing my fingers here…) In the meantime, enjoy these quick sketches of some of the characters that I can guarantee you will show up in chapter 2.
Comments Off on HLG – Chapter 2 is now 2 and 3 – also, more sketches, so: Chapter 2 – Preview sketches #2
Yeah, I’m still going at it… albeit slowly. But, no worries, thumbnails for all 18 pages of chapter 2 are done as well as the script. Now it’s just a matter of drawing it out. I’m still making some decisions about the final look to things, even though I learned a lot from doing chapter 1. Had I been doing this on tangible media, then perhaps doing it all in B&W would have been faster, but it seems that I get more mileage done and I’m able to maintain an appealing aesthetic with the gray scale tones. But, if B&W is faster, and I’m able to convey tones solely with that, maybe I’ll switch. Just have to wait and see. I’m sure there will be another preview post like this, and I even thought of posting one of the rough pages for this one, but I thought that might give away too much… maybe?
Well, I’ll try and find a good rough next time. In the meantime, enjoy these sketches of an upcoming character… by the way, Mercedes and Pearl are still alive. Oh no SPOILERS! DA DA DAAAAA…

Here are some more sketches that I’ve done based on Richie’s ideas. It helps keep my color chops in check while learning more, of course. Well, if I can just start doing more environments with a different color scheme, then I’ll feel that I’m moving forward. Either way, it’s fun.
