I found a bunch of my character design work from second year so I'll be posting it all up!
This is from the 'contrasting characters' assignment in first semester

storyboarding - Leave Me Alone leica

Leica reel for my story based on the phrase 'Leave Me Alone'

painting - inclass

layout - stagecoach assignment

animated weight lift and toss

Second animation project, the weight lift and toss in action. I simplified the character and object for time (guy got his tail cut off) but I got most of the mechanics working. I may go back and give him a tail later on for followthrough/S+C practice

layout - castles

First layout assignment, three landscapes with castles developed from provided thumbnails

the leader - full boards

Full boards developed from the beats posted previously! Quite a bit changed from the original vision to the end result but I think it makes for a better story. Some of my favourite drawings were on the rejected panels but murder your darlings and all that

wave - boat - sack animation

First animation project of this year, a flour sack on a boat tossed by a wave! I'm enjoying animation more this year, and certainly improved from last year

exterior painting

Exterior colour key for painting class...still working on gouache technique and landscapes in general

Beat boards - first assignment

First upload of second-year work, only a month or so overdue! Two sets of beat boards for a short film based on two provided poems, the better of which would later go on to be fully boarded.
