These are lifedrawings with a model using a pick axe. (There are a few things you should never do naked- like exercise, use powertools, swing an axe...) Anyway, start at the back of your drawing pad, and work forward. I scanned mine in and spread them out. Terrific study in weight, and if you have enough control of your drawings, you can find some pretty good arcs too.

Not Just Another Walk Cycle
Character walk work-in-progress of a rotund man walking toward the camera, adjusting his pants. Right now I'm modifying a chart for a walk on 16's (legs and body) and I'll chart the arms and hands a little differently. Overall, I'm pleased. The silhouettes are easy to read and the arcs support the action.

ToonRex Rig Test
Maybe this one got away from me... this had some nice camera effects on it. Had to limit what I could up load so it lost a lot, but you get the idea.

Aunt Stephanie
My family makes calendars every year so we can remember birthdays and stuff like that. Somehow this picture of my aunt circulated around the family, and ended up in this year's calendar. I almost died when I saw it. I'm sure we were never meant to see it. Anyway, decided to caricature it.

Butterfly Flying
I used the wing flutter plans (posted below somewhere) to animate this butterfly in flight. This is actually a rough from my short (from a different camera, but it's the same animation). Used the alpha for the out placard of my demo reel. It put together nicely, only took a few hours from start to finish, and the best part was I had a good idea how to make it work before I sat down.

Cats and Rabbits
They aren't that pretty, but it beats watching the scripts in the output window scroll as I wait for my Maya files to load.12 February 2010

New Placards
Using my butterfly test as part of the placard for my demo reel. The top is with a straight alpha and no motion blur. The bottom has a motion blur of 0.75 (rendered that way before composite).
