Finally Painting for Fun

My second dog, Kloi (pronounced like Chloe). This is the first painting I've done for fun since I took Portrait Painting! I did this during finals week before I left for break. It was a gift to my parents. She's so cute!

Intermediate 3-D Animation Final

Here's my Intermediate 3-D Animation final. I like 3-D animation, but staring at a computer for hours on end is not cool.

Portrait Painting Final

Here's my Portrait Painting final - 36" x 36" self-portrait. About 12 hours of work all together yesterday. I really like how it turned out, and the rest of my class had amazing paintings as well!


And here are the last few sketchbook paintings I did:

Original is an excerpt from a Caravaggio painting

"Dear Sir & Madam"

Here's my final animatic for Storyboarding. Original story, characters, and concept by me. McKinney liked it :)

I'm in an Orange Mood

In class painting from this afternoon. Joe put crazy red lighting on the model which made for amazing bright oranges and reds. I tried adding his actual eyes, but I thought he looked better without them. I wish this class was two terms long. I'm learning so much!

Another self-portrait I did for homework. I experimented with an elongated, stretched canvas. Stretched canvas is so much better to paint on than gessoed boards. It takes the paint better.

Some Intermediate Animation

"Young Frankenstein" Lip Sync - This is my first lip sync. The character looked more like a Who on the model sheet. I enjoyed taking the most lovable and innocent looking character and animating him to an angry sounding dialogue. haha




Flour Sack in Perspective - Za really liked his balancing act on the ball :)

Self-Portraits and Such

Me! My favorite one (above)


This is one I did in my painting sketchbook:


I believe the original of this was painted by John Singer Sargent....awesome!
