Leon takes better pictures than me.

That is my left hand. Oh, Mrs. Brisby is there too.

Life Model Painting

Painted yesterday in class. I believe it was between a 4-5 pose... but it's hard to say exactly with all the breaks for the model.

Count of Monte Cristo

Homework for painting class week 4 was to duplicate a painting by a famous painter or illustrator (black and white). I chose the Count of Monte Cristo by Mead Schaeffer. Starting to get the hang of this painting thing.

Getting closer to the end, but not quite there yet. Final is due soon so the sculpture will be done within the week. Will have better images for the final product, sorry for the bad pictures.

The foil process wasn't as pretty.. but next time will be better! Quickly on to the next step with super sculpey. Got the gray by mixing it with black and white premo (maybe it was fimo) clay. Did not like the flakiness so from now on I will stay with super sculpey only.

Mrs. Brisby

I took photos of my sculpting progress of Mrs. Brisby. At this stage I am pretty happy with the wire skeleton structure. Used the clay form of apoxy to make it sturdy. I don't think I will ever get used to the smell of that stuff...

old sculptures

Made these a couple years ago now for a sculpture class. Finally got images of them to post (with Leon's help, of course =D ) Soooo... here they are!! I am in another sculpture class this semester, hopefully it won't take as long to get up images!

Second version of the previous movie file. I thought I uploaded this one originally, but since I didn't.. here it is now =]

Perspective final

For this project we had to convert a plan into a 2-point perspective. I'm quite happy how this one turned out. Definitely came a long ways.

Trot cycle thing! that doesn't work!

I tried to put the gif of my animation up but I'm not sure why I can't get it to play. I'm sure I did something wrong. So here is a single frame of my trot cycle! It is pretty gesturely and I made it in just a few hours or so.. knowing that I'm quite pleased with the outcomes. I didn't want to just upload a quicktime because I wanted it to loop. Once I work out the technical issues I will post!

perspecitve 3 pt. and 5 pt.

My 3 pt. is ok, I like my 5 pt. better. I made it so that it pans from the top down, then to the left. As my professor calls it, "banana pan"!

aero!

Updating a creature/beast that I used to draw in high school. My friend gave them the name 'Aero'. They look really flat from being outlined but I plan to do more with these. I hope to update the look even more, so any comments are welcomed.

"TEXTURE!"

-Leon

A couple of samples from my student project. The title so far is "A Mouse in the House". I think it's kinda silly... but it goes with the story.

Used Illustrator for the outlines and placed the textures using Photoshop. Textures are my own (scanned from different papers).

Sorry for the bad picture! But I got a chance to see birds of prey at the school's arboretum so I thought I would share. This owl was hit by a car years back, damaging his wing. I think is has something to do with his name, "Wrong Way".

motion studies!

I also posted these on my new portfolio, but I love them so much that I wanted to post them here too.  I really enjoyed studying motion- I wanted to do more but I ran out of time.  There was a fifth one that I started and never finished.. perhaps I will have to revisit it.

Sculpture class

The current project is to make a sculpture out of metal; first by making a mold off of a wax sculpture then using that mold to poor metal in.  I did not get a picture of my wax phase (I wish I did) but I remembered to bring my camera to class the day the metal was being poured.
