Musical Numbers

I storyboarded these musical numbers for the tele movie Monster Beach,
made at Bogan Entertainment here in Melbourne. Fast rough boards and outsourced animation, and the result isn't too bad. Some lip synch issues though. I'll post some storyboards soon.
Pretty pleased with the results! The music was all done by the super cool Tripod based here in Melbourne as well.  Enjoy!

Illustration Commission

A Macross illustration commission. Its on a big piece of paper, so it has been scanned in two pieces, and is blurry. A different style than what I'm used to but I'm happy with the outcome. Good practice indeed. Was fun to research mech robots, as I was a fan as a teenager. Done in red col-erase pencil, black ink, prismacolor marker, and some water-colour. Completed in about a week in my spare time.

Evening Stroll

A quick walk cycle done in photoshop. I always liked the blobby effect of paint moving. I roughed out some line work in flash first to get my timing and spacing. He's wobbly but I like him.

Ideas

Mountain Man 2

Here's a second page of the Mountain Man. .

Been a while. Here's some character that's been floating around in my brain for a while. He needs a name. He's basically Indiana Jones but grumpier. I think I'm more interested in the world he lives in though. Should probably do some work on that. Like a post apocalyptic Nepal.

Fox

Two more pages of a fox that finds a magic sword and becomes anthropomorphic. Original, I know.

Juice Cleanse

I'm doing a 3 day juice cleanse, day 2, I feel weird. And my body hurts. Here's a page from my new portfolio i've been handing out. I like their details. A lot of tattoo art influence in these. It would be awesome to see them animated! 

It's Don.

In my stress to get a new portfolio together, Don came about. The whole idea seems too generic and a little like Garfield to me, but hey its a start. Fun to draw through!

Thumbnails

Here are some thumbs of a fox character I've been messing around with. Just practicing shots and trying to get some sort of momentum going. Working on Avengers Assemble at Atomic Cartoons in Vancouver was great for getting shot ideas. The board artists on it were SO good!! Learned a lot on that one for sure.

Stuff!!!

I've been trying to get a new "portfolio" together in my spare time. Some of what I've come up with so far. Not a lot of spare time with a new baby around either. Looking to start working again as my migration visa for Australia has finally gone through. Excited to see what Melbourne has to offer.

GIF!!

I've always wondered how to make an animated .gif file in photoshop. Now I know. This was a quick experiment. Jasmine is obsessed with cats. Gif's are fun, i shall make more!!!

UBC EOS Illustrations

Last November, I did some preliminary exploration for a really cool professor in the Earth and Ocean Sciences Program at UBC. They didn't turn into anything after this but it was a fun little gig and I got to learn a lot about geological processes and ecology theory which was totally rad!!!

Here's a 30sec spot I did at Barbershop Films here in Vancouver. It was hand drawn in Flash by myself and the compositing wizard took it from there. Good times!

Sketch Book

Been busy working the last couple months. Finally ,,,, FREE TIME TO DRAW!! woo hoo. here's a couple of experiments done in sketchbook pro. More to come!

Pre production illustrations

Here are some pre production illustrations I did for a commercial in March. Been busy doing boards and drawing the last few months! Cooler posts to come I hope!

Cowboy and Monster

A rough flash experiment. Too bad for Cowboy.

Demo Reel

This is really old stuff but I thought I'd throw it up here anyway just to see some work from Chaotic I did right out of school.

Crazy guy!

Some quick facial expressions I did this morn. Then I drew them. The three with gray hair were some preliminary studies.
