Something I dug out of my hard drive two weeks ago...

Found this to show to a friend who asked about it - I did this waaaay back in April-May of 2008 as part of my Senior Project for SCAD.  The poem was written and narrated by my friend Ben, while I laid out the storyboards and designed characters, settings, and props.

I even did a maquette for the main troll in this, and I think it was one of my first attempts at sculpting in Chavant.

It's rough in a some spots here and there, but I think the general feel is pretty good still, and some of the sight gags got a chuckle out of me after looking at this again. If I ever wanted to revisit it I'd love to do a new pass on the boards and see what could be improved.

Color Comps

So here is a set of color comps for some animation backgrounds I'm doing for my personal project, "The Tower Troll." The kid's head on a plaque is part of the project too, but I'm not going to spoil why! These were done in watercolor, by the way, with micron inks over 'em.

Have You Seen the Tower Troll?

Here's a sculpt I've been working on for my senior project class. He's a maquette based off the main character design in a short animation I'm doing. I'm fairly happy with him, I think if I started him a little earlier I could have worked out some of the issues and kinks I have with it a lot more. I might go back and tweak him later, once I have more time available to me.

Here's a full shot of him, and some WIPs as well.
