Promotional Poster Final

First semester was all about leading the audience astray with the promotion of the film Draco, in semester two the promotional posters will now give a sense of the era and style of the animation in the actual film.

Getting those Pencil Miles Up

Another Fan Art drawing, just working with viewing block colours and trying to focus on the general to the specific. This character is the spirit beast loque'nahak from Blizzard's World of Warcraft.

Final Character Animation Piece

This is what I've been working on for the past few weeks, an assigned character animation piece set to dialogue. I really aimed to capture a sense of 'connection' between the two characters during their interaction. I also worked hard to ensure that the movement remained fresh through diligent redrawing of every single frame (an animation epiphany for me). Finally, I aimed to make the actions realistic and expressive; I'm happy with the result and can see where I have improved and where I will improve in the future. See it Here.

Finished uni for the semester and finally had a chance to do some good ol fashioned fan art. Here's the progress on a piece from Blizzard's World of Warcraft, a spirit beast named Skoll:

Concept Art for Draco

A few concept art pieces for Draco. Main aim was to see how the characters 'fit' in their environments and how a particular atmosphere can be portrayed through the setting. A challenge was to get the right level of desaturation to enable the characters to pop and the backgrounds to play a supporting role.
