Quick Creature Head

A little personal project I did that I ended up really liking. I took the techinques used from my Creature Design class and created another creature bust.

Environment Design

This was my first shot at Environment Design with Aaron Limonick, he's pretty awesome! I learned a ton in this class, it was a lot of work with all the master copies and ideation sketches, but it was definitely worth it.

The first project was a black and white environment. I struggled with this one a lot, but in the end it turned out pretty decent! :) It kind of looks like a Pokemon temple, but I had no intention of that haha.

The second project was a colored environment. Little did I know I was going to get tonsillitis when working on this project...it suffered a lot because of it. I missed two weeks of school and had to make up so much work. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased with this because I did this so fast, within two days, but not much sleep haha.

Creature Design

Here are the projects I did while in Jerad Marantz's Creature Design class. This class was fun and I learn a lot about creature design and how to take critique and apply it. I also took out of the class how to render using photos, which I've never done before and I actually quite like it.

The first project was to take animals that exist and create a new creature that could actually exist on Earth. I based mine on a sugar glider.

The second project we only had a week to do (which is crazy with all of our other classes/homework!), but we had to do a photo manipulation of person, I did a friend's baby (cruel I know :P), and made it into a goblin child.

The third project was to reference real creature and then make a creature that would live on "Dark Earth," an alternate Earth where creatures are pretty strange and unnatural. The funny thing about this project, it was almost "too cute" for Jerad's taste, but he let it slide :P Hooray!

Vehicle Design

I was extremely nervous about taking the Vehicle Design class at Gnomon, I just knew that it would be a weak point of mine as I prefer characters. But for the final we had a lot of freedom and so I went with something a little more fun as oppose to realistic like a lot of the other students. I wouldn't have been able to get this done without Lil Chan's motivation!!

Product Design

Here is a project I did for Mark Hannah's Product Design class. It was fun trying to figure out how certain things should work and look for products, it's a lot different than just designing for entertainment purposes. Needless to say, I was happy with this one, even if it is a little crazy :P

Storyboarding

We had to do a storyboard in Andrea Adam's class for a script, "The Pale Blue Eye." I found it to be very enjoyable, here's a sample of it...we had to do a lot more than just this!

Sculpture

Here's what I did in John Brown's Sculpture 1 class. Most of the students in the class have never sculpted before, including me, but there was some amazing work in it. John seemed very pleased with how far I came on my sculpture and applauded me for tackling the task without needing his assistance very much.
