Walter Animation Update

Cims (pronounced sims) is a little character I conjured up for my character modeling class. Starring in a few of his own animated shorts (that may find there way on this site soon) Cims is continuing his role in getting me a job.

Being a huge fan of Oddworld I wanted to make an odd little creature of my own. From concept to color tests you can almost feel the inspiration from Oddworld.

Thats all for now! One more character profile left. CAN YOU HANDLE IT!?

…for more time

Progress on my project is coming along just fine. I now have the basic script for my project layed out. I have found it more difficult than I expected to create a story showcasing simple animation actions. The main difficulty being, trying to keep it simple enough so that I actually have the time required to finish it within the quarter. I expect to fine tune what I have planned some more, but expect a storyboard within a week.

Thats all for now, as my other homework assignments call my name.

p.s. keep an eye out for a second character profile later (and i mean later) tonight.

Fish Guy!

Since I am going to be animating 3 different characters for this project I thought I would put together a lil background for each one. It gives my site some early eye candy and an insight on things to come!

Fish Guy was designed as a character to be placed within a carnival themed Unreal Mod. Fish Guy was originally designed to be a “creature from the lagoon” but I then thought it was funnier to have it be a guy in a costume.

So that is fish guy! He is one of three characters to be featured in my senior project. The other two will be showcased sometime in the near future. Stay tuned!

Hello and welcome.

This blog is dedicated to showing the progress on my Senior Project. This Blog will allow Faculty members, friends, potential employers (*wink* *wink* *nudge*) and passers by to keep an eye on and see what I am doing.

Summary Of Project
For my senior project I propose to do a series of animations that show a professional ability in my craft. I will use three character models that I have created over the course of my educational career to portray walk cycles, run cycles and other various actions animators must handle on a daily basis. The three different characters will allow for different personality types within each category and allow for interaction rather than a bland series of animation sequences. I plan to intertwine the sequences for a more entertaining and somewhat story driven experience.

For more info see the about page. Proposal Document to be uploaded soon.

I hope you continue to visit and enjoy what I have planned to present.
