Arkac Redesign

This has been overdue for a while now - My writer/producer did a script for a monologue, and I auditioned and directed a very talented voice actor - everything is and has been ready to go, since the beginning of the year - I've just got to pick up the pace and actually get started!!

So here's the redesign of the character who will be starring in this animation:

This is what he originally looked like:

...Kinda different, huh?

Foster Hope

I did some rough animations, for charity, that aired on New Zealand television!!
Thanks to Mediaworks Foundation for giving us our first TV gig - this was a huge opportunity!!
You can check out the full ad campaign, here:

Here are the roughs, that I did:

Being short on time, gave us quite a few limitations - I would have liked their movements to flow better, but I think it still hides my short-cuts pretty well

(The orange and blue parts are the rough pass)

Usually I do more extreme cartoonier animation, so our director seemed a little nervous when he gave me this shot - I think I did well, with these more subtle animations - the plastic bag, when Reuben puts the bear in, could be improved - but all in all, I'm please with how this shot came out!!

I also did some character designs, that weren't used:

went for some more stylized stuff based on rubber hose animation and hanna barbera/UPA style

Litten Poses

Little fiery goth cat is the best starter!!

Heres my go at doing more extreme poses for Litten, while trying to stay on model

(The far right one is coughing up one of those gross flaming fur balls)
