Triceratops Animations

Here are a few animations I did for a bogus client.  Apparently a group of scammers are trying to get cg artists to do work for them for free for a game called "Jurassic Genetics."  Luckily I was smart enough not to give them most of the animation files for their video game.  At least some of these will be good enough to add to my reel.

A Criminal Sketch

So a P.I. asked me to do a few sketches for a client of his but ultimately the client said that after seven tries the nose always came out wrong.  But it was hard since all they kept telling me was the nose was long, thin and up-turned.  This guy was apparently stalking his client but she didn't have any photos.  She described him as late 30s early 40s, with dark olive skin an average jaw line.  Large almond-shaped brown eyes that looked like they belong on a woman, thin eye brows with light wrinkles that made him look jaded.  He also had straight brown hair and a widow's peak combed back.

 

Oh well.  It was a change of pace compared to what I've been working on a lot for the past year.  I probably only spend about an hour and a half making this with all the different nose changes.  Most of the time all she would tell me was the nose was too long or too short, but I think there were other details about the nose that were not right that she wasn't telling me about.

Some Storyboards

Here is an image of an androgynous girl to possibly be used in an animated short for a client.

A recent video project I have completed for a non-profit organization in the United Arab Emirates, Medical Help.  You can also visit their website http://www.medicalhelp.ae to learn more about them and the good they are trying to do.

Submission to the Nicktoons contest... or would have been :s

Here are a group of sketches, character sheets, and a storyboard for the Nicktoons Shorts Pitch Competition.  Or would have been if I had remembered that the contest said the short had to take place in one scene and be under a minute.  Oh well, live and learn, at least it got my creative juices flowing.

Batman Vs Darth Vader

Here was my entry into the Dark Knight vs. the Dark Side Contest.  Didn't finish it though.

More Animation

Here is an animation of a faceless, armless guy observing and interacting with a glass of an unknown substance.

Got Animated

Here are a couple animation exercises from my classes at CDIA

And a dragon's head I sculpted and painted in Z-brush based of my previous digital dragon sketches a few years back. http://martinsketchyideas.blogspot.com/2008/08/digital-dragon-sketches.html
