character design (Daryl Dixon, the walking dead)

Was re-watching an episode from the walking dead the other day.
I love that show so much, decided to take one of the better known characters and do a inspired sketch from him. don't know where i got the style from just popped into my head.
started this the other day.  need to finnish off daryl and add background.  who knows there could be zombies lurking around as well. :)
 

character design

was thinking of watching The Lone Ranger and that got me thinking about native americans.  
got some cool ideas running around my head. 
heres one! 


character design

With the summer here it gives me the time to be able to work on my own personal work which i love to do,  without any college distractions!
sometimes i don't even know what i'm about to put down on the page, you just have to let your hand and brain take you on a journey and see what comes out at the end!! this was one of those moments.
hope you all like!
feedback is appreciated!

i don't know what you would call it but its something!

  
i soon began working on a background lightly. i'm thinking of some sort of strange jungle.  
i haven't continued on working on the background but i will get around to it some day! 


Visual Language project.

The project was to create an environment that was related to yourself and the take your studio practice animation to play over the background.  for studio i had myself trying to grab a falling piece of paper and catching it while i work.

the reason for room was based on my bedroom which i where i do most of my work from.  the giant stacks of paper are animation paper building up show the amount of pages need for just one animation.

working down: Thumbnail sketch,  colour thumbnail, line drawing layout, digital line drawing, final colour layout and black and white version.  
digital work completed on an ipad.  








Lip Sync Animation

This was the last computer animation project that i handed in this year.  i was quite happy with the way the acting came across.  i still think it need some fixing here and there any some stronger poses but i was happy with the overall product.  


Demo reel.

Here is my first ever animation demo reel.  the work shown is taken from the last 2 years of college and from some personal work that i do from home.  i hope to improve my skills as the years run by so any feedback would be great!
