Sketching some characters for a new film project.

Another Weekly Art Challenge submission: Create a new race of people/creatures.

Wunderbears are a race of bear-like mammals known for their vibrant coloring and odd dress. Because of their garish looks, the Wunderbears easily find work as musicians and performers. With their powerful muscles, many work as farmers or fishermen. At birth, each Wunderbear receives a full body tattoo which serves as a sort of family crest. Many Wunderbears attribute social status and future occupation to this as well.

Despite their cheery disposition, many Wunderbear carry a certain sadness about them. For all of the attention that they receive, some wish that they could just look a bit more normal.

Current Storyboard Project is Almost Done

Almost done! A little snapshot of how I wish people who fiddle with their cell phones during a movie are dealt with. Should be up tomorrow.

 

Respect the "Turn Only" Lane!

Second Take on Tom Elowitz

Here's my second take on the character Tom Elowitz from the story that I'm writing. Overall, I'm liking this design over the first.

In the first design, Tom was too clean-cut looking. I was using Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra as reference, but it didn't seem to fit. For this design, I used Stan Laurel and Roger Radcliffe (101 Dalmations) as reference.

A New Project - First Take on Tom Elowitz

I've been itching to do some more writing/storyboarding, so I've been at it writing a story.

Currently, I've been writing a film tentatively called "Make Someone Happy", inspired by the Jimmy Durante song of the same name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flvGmVgwkWk).

The film follows Tom Elowitz, a young toy maker, who just wants to make people happy with his toys and overall jovial demeanor.

Here's my first take on what Tom might look like:

The Lamp and the Firefly Animatic

Remember that animated film I was working on? Well Ethereal has been keeping me busy, so I haven’t had much time to work on it, but I was able to finish an animatic.

And despite what you might think, I didn’t get the idea from Pixar’s Luxo Jr. I actually found the inspiration for this while I at home over the summer. I was watching television when I noticed a firefly dancing outside of our window in the light of one of our table lamps. I thought this was kind of cute, so I decided to write a story about it.

With that said, I did watch Luxo Jr. a few times to study a bit some of the movement ;)
