Monochromatic Study

So I'm back for round two for digital painting with Sam Nielson and I'm happy with the way my first assignment turned out! This was a tough one to turn out, but after days of painting countless spheres I was able to match on digital canvas what was in my mind's eye.

So it is true- practice does make perfect.

WIP

I'm very excited to show a preview of what a bunch of talented guys and I have been working on during this year!




We are developing an educational film for BYU's new planetarium and we are currently working on Mars. It's a mix of fictional near-future space tourism and ongoing scientific research.

Awesome stuff!

Color Scripts!

These are my very first color scripts. Ever. They're for our senior film we are currently developing at the moment. Colors. They're fun.

This is what happens...

...when you don't consistently sketch everyday.Or carry around a sketchbook. It's been a looooong time since I've sat down and sketched. On the other hand it was tons of fun to sit down and draw! Even though I took my sketchbook out of backpack (it's usually in there) and all my pens are mostly dried up from not using them, this is proof that any ordinary paper and pen is more than enough to sketch. It was a very liberating experience! Go Joe!

Mango Turnaround


That moldy stuff is supposed to be water stains. Still gotta work on that.

Minor changes but overall I think it turned out okay.

The moment machine became curious.

Here's a blast from the past. I created this while I was in Kelly's intro to animation class a while back. I'm particularly proud of it.

The little dot fluttering around is a butterfly. Again, I blame blogger for the low quality.
