glimpse of things to come

Here are some of the frames from the rotoscope portion of "The Art of Art", which will be shown at my art show on campus called, "What an Animated Figure: The Bridge Between Fine Art and Animation".

So I was browsing Youtube, when I came across several amazing videos of tiger's jumping and chasing stuff that their trainers were dangling in front of them. As I watched these amazing animals, I would often pause at certain poses and try to capture the gestures of these beautiful creatures. Here are some drawings I did on the ol' Cintique.

Heber Plein Air Paintings

This June and July, I entered the "Wasatch Plein Air Painting Paradise". It was a great opportunity to get out and paint outside and try to better my oil painting abilities.

Rotoscope test

I've got an art show coming up late this September, and one of the pieces I plan on exhibiting is a short rotoscope similar to the film "Waking Life". I've been drawing over photos lately to try and get the right look and feel for the rotoscope. Here's one of the first among many tests I've done. More to come.

Loner

Drawing that I did of a super hero I conceived when I was in high school and have held onto the idea ever since. I'm normally drawn to darker super heroes like Batman, because they are more intimidating and we take them more serious than boy scouts like Superman or Captain America. Plus invisibility has always been the super power I've wanted.
