Brand New Demo Reel!

UPDATE (02.06.08): Forget that tired old demo reel I had posted, as there is a new demo reel in town that's ready to shake things up. I remixed my demo reel, added in two new animations, and posted it up for all to see.



Here is one of the new animations that is now part of the reel:



Original post with original demo reel is below.


I uploaded my new demo reel tonight, and you can view it in its hi-res form in my 3D Artwork section or you can view the low-res version below.



Not the most amazing thing ever, but when you consider the fact, up until about a year ago, the only thing I had animated prior to this is the horrific wrestling scene documented in this post, I hope you can see that some progress has been made!

Take care.

Chuck the Dog

My Mom has a dog named, Charlie, who we call "Chuck" for short.



My three dogs hate him, and pick on him to no end each time he visits our house. Guess I felt bad and figured I'd sketch him to make up for it.

Sketch Dump!

Just a quick page of sketches.



I actually hadn't sketched anything since my son was born back in December, and it felt good to shake some of the dust off of the ol' wrist.

Look for a (very late) Dog Complex Christmas strip sometime in February! I started it back in October, so it's time I get that sucker finished.

Happy Dog Test

Between returning to work, having a 5 week old son, and attending Animation Mentor, I have lots of free time, so I decided to kick out a quick dog test.



Having never worked with a dog rig before and only one two-plus legged rig at all, I was a little intimidated to say the least, so I decided to go easy on the first test. It's only three seconds long (almost 4) and doesn't involve any running or walking. That's next!

As always, the AM rig was a dream to work with, and now I really want to do something with the dog and a human character.
