Storyboards

Here's some storyboards I just did for class. If they look familiar it's because I did a variation on this same story last year when I was in this class at BYU.

Mike Mignola

This last assignment was to create a character in an established comic book style. I chose Mike Mignola the creator of Hellboy. His style looks so simple, but it was a real challenge to try to duplicate.

Michel Gagne

We had an assignment to create an original character in the style of an established artist, I chose Michel Gagne. This guy's stuff is great because you can't tell if it's something cute that he's made creepy or something grotesque that he's made cuddly. There a certain quality to it that makes you want to be revolted and say "awwwww" all at the same time. Anyway, here's the character I did.

Frogs

So my final is finished...finally. It isn't cleaned up and colored, but the animation and sound are all there. Let me know what you think.

Sucker

I'm pretty sure this is a self-portrait of what I will look like when I'm ninety years old. I did this to give my self a break from animating my final project of this semester.

Just a Doodle

I doodled this guy a couple of weeks or so ago and decided to toss some color on him tonight and post him. I think he just needs a hug and a cup of cocoa.

Intricate

Here's a really quick doodle I did for Illustration Friday. The theme is "intricate" and I thought about all the 'intricate' details of our country's economic system and, more especially, the methods which we use to attempt to stimulate growth. I wanted the doodle to look crude, but I think my coloring is too heaving and it looks muddy now. Oh well...maybe it's more appropriate that way.

Pencil Tests VI

For this animation I had to create a scene from 3 expressive key frames. I based this off of an illustration I did a while back. The illustration was a sequential 3 panel piece that showed a man drinking from a bottle and then discovering it is laxative and then running off. I think it translated well into an animation.

Pencil Tests V

Here's my full head turn. The frames need to be cleaned up, but I think the action is nice.

Steve

I'm trying my hand at fonts now. This first one is pretty crude, but I kind of wanted it that way.
