The Haruspex' collection

So got sketches and pictures of current work. The Sketch of the figure seated is the haruspex. He's a costume I will put together for the artist booth I am working on with the ever glorious Shannon, at Anime Boston this year ( thus titled "The Haruspex Emporium"). The cephalopod sketches are for our new button, making it five buttons for sale now.

Figure drawing

Just a figure I did in photoshop. I"m not very versatile in photoshop so I figured I'd try doing my sketches in it for a little while to get my skills back. I didn't have a model or a photo to go off of so i guess the figure is alright considering, but I'm not totally happy with it ... but who ever is right?

Mole Skins

So I scanned a few bits from my Mole Skin. Hopefully I can bring you a few every week, from now on.

Birthday greetings for the Magi Council

So it is my Aunt Kristine's birthday today and I sketched a portrait of the Cat High Mage HurfDurfen-Paw for her.

And so out of the dank cave, it returns ...

So after a long hiatus of not posting anything, I've finally got some substantial work on my hands thanks to my good friend Dan. The following are story boards for an animation to accompany his music from his solo project; which may I add is quite the excellent piece of prog rock. You may notice that some of the boards are numbered out of order. This is because I sketched them in the order of convenience rather than their actually order. Rest assure that their sequence will be rectified when placed into the animatic with the music. Well ... enjoy ...

At the Clambake!

So I stopped by Clambake Animation in Watertown today, for and informational interview. I'm not quite sure what they thought of me . They were pretty hard to read. I was given a tour of the office and they looked at my work. It seems like a really awesome atmosphere to work in and I already have a friend working there. The have some really interesting and fun-sounding projects going on now and in the future, so I'm really excited about the possibility of working there. I don't think that I am exactly what they were looking for, because my focus is mainly in stop-motion, but I can only hope that they see that I can meet and exceed their needs. Hopefully all goes well.

Sketch-booking

As promised, some of my sketches ...

New things going down ... sorta

So I haven't really been up to much lately. I've just been putting in hours at work and getting sick as many times as possible. What is with these god-damned colds?! Well anyways ... I sent in my submission to the Ottawa International Animation Festival today, so hopefully that goes well. I've also been procrastinating on sending my reels out to studios ... not really something to be proud of though. I have been sketching and keeping the gears in my head turning though. While on a strike for an event on top of the Prudential, there was this broken fiberglass statue in the trash, so I scored it and put it in the truck. I'm thinking I'm gonna make it into an "old one" statue. Just a little Lovecraftian "artifact." Heres some images of the statue and what I plan to do with it. I'll post some of my recent sketch-bookings after this.
