Jack & Sally

The Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my favourite films as a kid. The first time I saw it, it scared the crap out of me and I had to turn it off before 'This Is Halloween', the opening song, finished. 

There's something beautiful about stop motion, it's absolutely terrifying and yet so alluring. S'probably why it's become such a huge bit of my life over the last few years.

Sketched this about a year ago and never finished it until today.

First Day Back: Scribbles

Haven't posted any scribbly-sketchy-not-finishy stuff here lately.

Just some scribbles from my first day back of 4th year. So rusty at life drawing after not doing it for four months- these are all under a minute because I can't pay attention for longer. Crayola markers are my new life drawing best friends; I cant be arsed to spend money on markers anymore since puppet supplies are so expensive. So I have 60 Crayolas that cost me around 5$.

Doodles are done in my Psychology elective because I can't keep up with the note-keeping.

Chroma: Charlie Design

I was waiting to hear back if stop motion was a go before I posted any more Chroma stuff here. It is, so here is some design of my main character, Charlie.

Specs:
• 12'' tall
• Ball & Socket Armature
• Cast plastic head
• Hands cast in silicone, painted details.
• Faux-fur wig

So Chroma is 'officially' in production. So excited.

Beach Girl

It's still stupid hot here.
Inspired by someone & their fashion.
Lines in Flash, everything else is Photoshop.

Chroma: Prop Concepts

Here are some concept sketches of props from my thesis film, Chroma. Mostly trying to find a design style.

Gratuitous Picture Of Yourself

This is what I look like. I haven't looked in a mirror in a few years, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one.

By The Pricking Of My Thumbs..

Something wicked this way comes...

I'm working on a pitch package for my stop motion thesis film: CHROMA. Expect a post next week with concept work, but here's a sneak peak.

I also re-did my website a little while back, so check it out!

There's also a new tab underneath my blogger profile. This is a link to all the posts that are tagged with work from my thesis film. :)

Flashin' Around

Here's just a quick doodle that's part of something more I'm working on. Linework done in Flash- colours in Photoshop.

Cute Little Roadkill

Every day there's a dozen of these guys on the side of the road outside my village. That's an awfully stupid place to sleep, Mr. Racoon.
