WizardLizard cleaned up

Did some rough drawings of this guy awhile ago and wanted to flesh him out. I really like my lil wizard lizard and am thinking of doing a comic with him. Still not sure what to do with his shirt, maybe a bunch of lil potions and bags? that could be fun.

Tofu Catrun Cleaned up

This is the cat run cleaned up. Was a pain to clean up, but had to finish to comp it this weekend.

Doodles

Some random doodles and a more final version of my Wizard Lizard character, who is a blast to draw.

TofuGirls Run

A run cycle I'm working on for Tofu Girls. You can see the cat run cycle from earlier. I've mixed up the timing by giving both characters some 'hang time' in the air. It's nice when a character has uneven timing, it makes the movement more unpredictable and fun!

blatent plug - commercial I directed

cartoon brew liked it too!! which is nice cause you know how harsh they can be. We made it in flash in about 2 weeks, if you have any questions on how we created it just ask! There is a longer version of the video on the 'get him to the greek' page on facebook. Check it out!

TofuGirls opening

Thought I'd share a work in progress opening to some freelance I'm working on. It's for http://tofugirls.com/ I felt that having some full animation at the start would be a good hook for people at comic con and show how nice these designs move. Sorry about the quality, and the weird line thickness. I'll post the finished opening later this week, after comping it and color it should look pretty nice :)

TreeFrog

A happy tree frog late for work.

Cat Run

More rough freelance work. This one is a bouncy run cycle. Fun!

Kappa Dance

This is a cute dance cycle I did for a freelance project. I usually animate out the body first in a quick shorthand, then use symbols on top. I find this lets me work confidently * if I know my rough animation works, the final will work. People can get bogged down with puppets, it's really freeing if you first get loose and plot down the basic shapes. Done on 2's and straight ahead.

Patton Color

Patton with a lil color.

Conan

I finished reading all the original Conan pulp stories and felt the need to paint something. It's been a long time since I've done digital painting and I feel I've improved quite a bit. Anyway this is Conan.

Napoleon

Another warlord. Got metaphorical with this one...it might be too ambiguous though.

Patton

I like this this guy turned out. Apologies to David cause I stole your gun design from those bird cowboys you did. http://cartoondavid.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html

Atilla the Hun

I'm trying to do more designs, working on my own style. Here are two versions of Atilla the Hun. Not sure what one i'm liking more, any preferance?

Cute Bat

Dance with me doing THE BATTY BAT!

lady gestures

Cause I've had ladies on my mind lately. Here are some morning warm up drawings. I like the top middle one the most.

Batdragon

Here is another dragon. I think he would be fun to animate, even though his wing arms are totally made up and probably wouldn't function right...Doh!

A big jaw dragon

Been trying to draw more often. Here is a dragon wit a big mouth, inspired by How to train your dragon. I was thinking of those mega mouth fish when I drew this.

Wizards and gestrual stuff

I drew those gestures yesterday to warm up and these wizard designs are from a few months ago. I love this wizard character, he is fun to draw! that's how you know he works.

skater thing

I have been real busy with work lately...sorry for the zero posting. Here is a skater girl i drew today. It was nice drawing something not 2 heads high.
