So my goal this week is to finish 24 panels for the 1 second of the animation. But mostly I want to at least get 5 seconds done before the week ends. Hopefully that will happen. I don't know how it will happen. But hopefully I'll make it happen. :B

I accomplished most of my goal and right now I'm Working on turning each of the body parts into separate layers so I can turn them into bones and begin animating! YIPEEE!!!! I plan on finishing the separation and then animating yay

Reflection





So I got done with the meadow. Yeah so I think I will change my project to doing a bunch of different environments since it only took me a week to make the thing I thought would take 4 months. My bad oh well it turned out well anyways.

Progress



This is what i go done so far. I want to make it look better.

Progress

This is my net that i created for my hoop. I ran into some problems making it so I wasn't able to complete my goal. I am getting close to done with the basketball court so I can move on to the football field.

Reflection thingy-ma-blobber


Well so far I have met my goal. I have figured out a little on how to do the animation. So far it's just using photoshop. Not my favorite art program but it's all I got. These are just quick sketches of the motions of what's happening in the first 4 seconds of the animation. It's a girl falling down and a desk sliding to the side disappearing. (and a few doodles of my own on the side of my frustration and a little note from my friend shay haha)
Um.
I hope that I get 24 frames completed next week for a whole second. So. Ya.

Progress, So Far...

Well, last time, the computer decided that it was going to restart itself, so i only got the background done, and am tracing my dragon :) if you look at my blog, you can see how far ive gotten...

Cody Hall-Shotgun



I have met my goal, i was able to get it painted, get a rust look into it and put blood on it

1/26: Reflection




I succeeded in making both sets of legs while my partner assembled the various parts of the dragon. He also made preparations for rigging the whole model. Small set backs and delays occurred for both my partner and I, but we are still on schedule. I also made simple wing design, but we may need a different version. Next week we hope to do simple models with rigging that could be used in multiple ways.

End Week 1 Reflection


Well I didn't really meet me goal. I only got the hair and most of her dress done, I also got her lips done but her face isn't shaded. However I did start a little bit on the wolf's hair so thats good. Next week I think I'm just going to work on making her cloak look real.

picture


roug idea/proposal

my proposal is that I'm going to create a picture that there are three people in the woods and there going to take the president and then feed him to there to there pet crabs. the main thing about the series that is about is steeling the president.

Hear are some pictures of my progress on my character. I will likely post some pictures of what I hope the  finished product to look like soon.

Pixel Project

Looks nice eh?

I will be making one of my D&D characters in Maya and mud-box. He is both an Elf and a wizard, so i will incorperate this into my modle as much as i can.



Inspirational pictures for style are these.
     Though i had not drawn any sketches of what it will look like i have already made a basic 3D model in Mudox, I just imported it into Maya. I will upload pictures of my progress shortly.

breakdown

this week all i got done was my colors on my pictures. next week on Monday i will get the next week i will start on a new project and that will be something that involved with illustration. the reason why i said that because I'm going to a series.

My head project is done :)
Visit my blog here for more pictures. :)

Week 3-6




Proposal

While I am trying to think of something to illustrate I will do another project in the meantime. I am going to make a key and print it out at Shapeways. I plan for it to be a skeleton key. Some of my ideas for it are a little complicated so I'm trying to iron that out. I plan to have a sketch done next week and start on it around then. It will be done in Maya.

My Alien Masked head. It was pretty easy to make and desiged but the leather texture was probale the hardest to get on it.

The Breakdown

January: I want to have at least 3/4 of the dragon finished in maya by the end of January. February: I want to have all of the dragon ready to become a rig and crafted in mudbox. March: I would like to have the rig set up, and to have a start on animation. April: The project should be finished, fine tuned, and ready for the art show.

Week 2

http://mckennagart.blogspot.com/2012/01/week-2.html

Proposal

I want to make the model of a dragon in Maya and Mudbox. If I have additional time I will make it into a rig and create an animation with it. The head itself already takes up an entire grid set to the foot dimensions, so I may need to resize some of the body parts.

Rough Idea Revised and Inspiration






I have chosen to work on an animation of a portal style dragon animation or 3-d model. If possible I would like to run a screen capture to show the whole process. Pictures for our inspiration: wings, body structure, skin and mechanic types, and shape.

Rough Idea

I am thinking that an animation or an illustration of a dragon fighting a knight would be a good project. A three dimensional animation would take the longest to do, but it also holds the highest chance of taking a good place in art shows. I will need to learn how to make controls in Maya, but if I can devote a semester to this project I can easily overcome this.

Art Analysis

This is a photo of webcomic art created by Michael Avon Oeming and Andrea Wicklund. The style of brush strokes give a feeling of ordered chaos. It has dark and cool colors to make that feeling more solid in the piece.

Idependentproject

Rough Idea:
I want to paint something in photoshop or just do something with photoshop.

Inspirational Images:


I started painting my picture, that I took last year, in photoshop. I’m going to just use the tones and not blend it and see how it turns out.

I’ve got my hair painted and so far it looks pretty good just need to do my chest and arm and see how hat looks.

I’ve gotten done with myself and I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with the background I don’t know if I want it to be different colors or have something in it or just leave it as the door.

I can’t find anything I like for the background so I just left it. I have half of it done and it looks pretty nice.

I’ve finished the whole thing I really like how it’s turned out I like that I stuck with the original background.
