blanche and stella

I said I would animate the bird didn't I, I wanna do better animation. I didnt quite like the beginning of the scene, but I did like her drama. I hope its not just my opinion, I worked hard on this, and it was fun :)
P.S. I used a line from a streetcar named desire
Hope you like it!




Looking at it now, I feel like I did it a bit too fast...

Ms. Snobby Head

Hello! Remember the snobby pig character timeline I did a year ago? this year I was able to model the old lady's head in Maya and Mudbox, to be honest I dont love mudbox, but I like modeling, so hopefully something good will come out of this on the summer :)

You can see the turn around here, and again I apologize for youtube's bad quality...



And here some stills

                     

Beak and muzzle

I will be animating these characters and I'm a little nervous about it, but I worked hard on their designs, especially the bird's. I had never drawn a realistic bird like character, so I guess I was so afraid of it that I worked extra hard on it; however, it did turn out nicely, and my teacher thought so too :)

For this one I was inspired by a meerkat and someone I know.

And for this girl I wanted to draw a quetzal, a central american bird that could get extinct, so please support the animal organizations that try to take care of it ^^ (p.s. the one with the long tail is actually the male one, but its animation, you can cheat on this things :P )

Human lip synch

Hello again! So I hope people like this,I worked hard on it. The line he says is from the movie Saving Private Ryan, which I hadnt watched before doing this assignment. But I chose the line like that on purpose, so I could have some freedom applying some of the stuff we learned in acting class :)


All I knew about this movie was that it was about a soldier, so I thought about the many things that could make a soldier say these words in this tone of voice, and tried to make him remember those things when he was speaking. I also did some reasearch on real life world war II, and vietnam soldiers. I hope I did a good job. Although the software messed a bit with me :/

Interior Painting

I did this last year at around October.. I really liked it back then, but now... I think I could do better... the back wall is bothering me. I must say I do like layout and painting, I'm not very good at it, but I enjoy it, so I'll keep working to improve. Also, I think its amazing when your teacher magically fixes your work in 5 min using photoshop when giving feedback, I wanna be like that someday :D

I have to work on losing the fear of adding cast shadows to my layouts that would improve them so much! 

3D animation... I did better than I expected

So, hi! I know It's been a while, but you know... life happens and all that. Anyway apparently my 3D skills are better than I thought they were. I was really scared before touching maya for the first time, and I didnt understand anything! but I got used to it and I guess its coming :)
I have two assignments to show. I apologize for youtube's bad quality

Dog walk!



My teacher said it was almost perfect, and it made me really happy cause it was all thanks to... this thing...

This next one I dont like so much, but It was fun to try and do a whole little scene

New W(y)ork

Nah I havent been to New York in a while, but it sounds like a nice place for an animator. Judging from what my teachers had to say, New York was a good place to make connections and work as an animator. I dont know if it still is.
Either way, I'm alive! I've had tons of work, some of which I want to work a little bit more on before posting it.
Most of what I have today is animation, not amazing, but I put a lot of hard work into it. Also a new character. Any name suggestions for him are welcome.

First is my wave/boat/sack assignment




Now my nameless character, he's an Axolotl. And they could get extinct in their habitat! So whenever you visit Xochimilco be nice to the environment please.

Now, my lift and toss animation! to which I hope I can add more details after christmas (something good might come under the tree this year...) 

This was also my very first time using flash for a frame by frame, drawing by drawing, animation. My hand hurt like crazy! But I hope to get better at working digitally.
