Traditional | Mechanical Objects Marker Sketches

Wanted to draw some stuff, so I decided on the usual mechanical stuff. Only this time, I used markers to try and get some interesting line quality. I drew a WWII German tank thing, a German machinegun nest, and part of a Russian industrial tractor. I'm trying to build up my visual library of mechanical objects and how they work.

Traditional | Mech Scout Acrylic Painting

Here's something you don't see everyday--me using traditional mediums. My friend invited me over to paint with her, so this is really the first time I've tried to use traditional paint (acrylic) to make some artwork. I of course had to do a mech, and I gotta say, traditional is freakin' hard. But it's also so much fun. I had a lot of fun trying to mix my own colors instead of color picking, and had to deal with the fact there's not such thing as ctrl-z. Every mark is permanent (until you cover it up with another!). But that was super fun. Only thing I regret is that the soldier's skin turned out too yellow. I have a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to doing more.

Sol | Motion Story

Be sure to watch in HD!

A classmate and I worked on this project for our Motion Design class final. We had to create a narrative story using After Effects, which was a pretty open ended assignment. We decided to reuse ideas and characters from our game project, and create a psuedo-story for them. Spero, our hero, crash lands on a strange planet and discovers an ancient artifact, guarded by an even older secret. Hope you enjoy, I learned a ton about After Effects making this, and I think some of the shots turned out pretty well. Wish we could have done a little more animation and had more shots. My favorite shot is the helmet reflection shot.
