Themed Characters: Ancient Egypt

We had to come up with 4 time-period themed characters that will roll over for storyboard and layout assignments. I love ancient Egypt so I had to choose it, even though I figured everyone would choose it (doesn't seem like they have though!)

I designed this guy based on pictures of Egyptian crocodile statues I found

I read during my research of ancient Egypt that the higher status you were, the more transparent your clothes are. I made Kanila's dress transparent for this reason, also to give her some sexy OOMPH.

This guy turned out to be my favorite, based on Anubis, the god of death obviously.

Bidi is an ibis, which I found out were revered birds in Egypt because of their connection with the ibis headed god of scripture Thoth.

Critiques welcome!

Muzzle + Beak Characters

Oops! I haven't posted my character designs for the muzzle and beak animation yet. Consider that fixed now. I did a 'New Guinea' theme with a cassowary and sugar glider character.

I swear the wattles actually look like that...

Have a good one!

DKC Bestiary Art Book - preview sketches

These are sketches for an art project that's been ongoing since December. I plan to make a bestiary art book of every enemy, animal buddy and boss from the 3 Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES. I decided to do this simply because I'm a huge fan of the games. The book will be in full color and contain all art by myself. As well as offered for free download when complete (donations accepted/appreciated), I'd like to print physical copies too. Please share with all the DKC fans! :)

Dancing Titties. Oh, and Expression Changes

Last animation assignment of the semester, the expression change. I didn't do much actual animation for this, instead I drew a lot of expressions. I'm sure you can tell this was the last assignment too!

It Keeps Happening: Leica reel

Taking the beatboards from a previous blog post, they have been built upon and edited and compiled into the leica you see here.

They were also the basis for Layout, Painting and Sound Design assignments.

I enjoyed working on this story project and I'd like to do an animation with it sometime... who knows?
