Heroes & Villains

For this project in Ryan's character design class we had to turn in four drawings: Two heroes and two villains. One of each had to be stereotypical and the others, non-stereotypical.

Self Caricatures

For our fourth project in Ryan's character design class we had to character ourselves in a variety of different expressions. We had to include happy, sad, frightened, psycho, and confused. I also drew one without expression for a starting reference. Whadaya think?

Everyone in class referred to the last one as "the gay one." I was going for "confused." I guess "sexually confused" still  counts. Right?

Caricatures

 For our fourth project in character design we had to caricature celebrities. I went a little more obscure than Ryan wanted us to but I think most of the class recognized who I was drawing. Can you tell? If not, then I screwed up. I think I definitely could have done better on the first image here. I might post a revision sometime.

 

 

Second Project for Character Design Class

For this project we were to sketch clouds, trees, and rocks, for the purpose of learning the natural design flow found in nature. We were then supposed to take the natural design elements found in each of those things and incorporate them into two character designs of our own. I was looking at the curves of  bonsai trees and I kept visualizing serpents. So I drew a snake. With this drawing however, I failed to incorporate the elements of nature to the degree Ryan wanted to see them displayed in this project.

First Assignment for Character Design Class!

This semester I am enrolled in the great Ryan Woodward's character design class.

For our first assignment we were to design characters based on the provided photo references. Everyone had to use the same refs but each person's came out different.

 

Here are mine:

Pixel-Patch Paper Craft!

This one's for all you pixel-pirates:

 If it's too big (which it probably is) then shrink it down, fool!

(What a dork!)

le départ du petit prince

This is for you, Tiffany.

That was a beautiful book.

8-Bit Meats!

This is my old school 8-bit rendition of the current BYU Animation senior film project, "Buthcer'd Meats".

Based on art I stole from Tyson and an original NES game from way back in the day. Do you remember that game, or has it already faded into bolivian?

Story Boards... Kind of

These are some of the drawings I did for the storyboarding assignment in my Illusion of Life class last semester.

We were supposed to make a series of drawings that told stories inspired by life experiences.
