First Encounter

Work on the film continues. We are finally getting to a point where I can post models and stuff soon. Until then, I've continued working on the Roberto Challenges.

Last Friday we all the Roberto Challenge participants spent 4 hours painting together and produced 2 pieces each. This was my effort for the theme ''First Encounter''.

I also recorded myself painting this image and made a timelapse, which you can watch here: 

All in all a good way to spend a Friday night!

More 30-Minute Paintings

Here are some more of the 30-minute paintings I've been doing. It's been nice to try out different styles, practice values and even do some fanart. 

Vi from League of Legends

Once I've got more time I'd like to do some longer renders. Maybe later this year. :)

Finally, I agreed with a friend of mine to design a luchadore after we both played Guacamelee, a videogame that we have come to love.

In the meantime you can see all my 30-minute paintings here: http://30minpaintings.tumblr.com/. I should be updating semi-daily.

Short Paintings

It's been a very busy few weeks with pre-production and DLO (Digital Layout) for our trailer project. Sadly I don't have much to show for it yet. However I have been doing a lot of short paintings!

Apparently I like blue a lot. All of these were 30 minute exercises. My painting is definitely one of my weak spots that I want to dramatically improve, so you'll be seeing more of these short paintings.

I Return!

Wow, after a long holidays we are back at TAW and straight into production on our new trailer project. Apologies for the lack of updates, I'll be revamping the blog and getting everything up to speed here within the next few days!

End of First Year!

So, my first year at TAW has come to an end! It's a bit bittersweet, however I have come a long way and made a great deal of friends. :)

Here is my showreel for the highlights of this year.

Looking forward to next year! I might post a few things over the holidays (I have some summer projects planned), so check in once in a while.

Lights Out!

And here it is, our Short Short Film. :) Enjoy!

Design with Peter Chan

Last week we had the legendary Peter Chan come to our school to teach us design and storytelling.

He was a very inspiring figure and gave me a lot to think about as an artist. He encouraged us to tell stories by creating 'moments' in our artwork. He also challenged us to move out of our comfort zones, so I ended up doing some anthropomorphic pirates!

We also finally screened our short short films, and they seemed to be well recieved! I will upload ours here shortly.
