WAR HAMMERRRR



ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!







OH GOD GUYS RUN IT'S THE UNDEAD, IT'S GONNA--


...oh.


Bouncy!




I am such an inconsiderate animator.

Alien Plant

I was going for a mix of plant and reptile, and this thing was born:









I designed it in mind to be a potential enemy in a video game, hence the thoroughly impractical biology.



This was the polished sketch for it:






Rawr!

Drawing EVERYWHERE!

Heeey Animation! This is a post from Miyuki, Camerron...(and Latonia, she's over there) while we're at your nearby Barnes and Nobles!

Surfing the net can be pretty awesome, and there's a dude somewhere on the wonderful interwebs who makes a whole bunch of sketches and comics--lately, it's mostly comics. And they're not even intricate, actually; they're all stick figures, and they have some funny concepts.

You guys should totally go check out xkcd.com!

More Art




Since the quality of my flower video isn't too hot, I figured I'd post a picture of it.
(Apparently the glow is also not showing up too hot...)

And also here's some pieces I've finished not too shortly before pre-college!
(Oh hey look she's nude... problem?)

beautiful 2D animation

This is really beautiful.
Someday, I'd like to do something as smooth as this.




This is a picture from the enviornment im trying to render.

My Alien Flower (:



Its a harmless plant that glows in the moonlight and sways with the wind. I used a tad bit of photoshop with the background and base. ^-^

Motion Graphics!

Sup, Animation class.

If anyone is interested in motion graphics, this site is a great one to check out!

http://www.motionserved.com/

It has it all. 3D, 2D, CG, special effects, short films, trailers, commercials, and more! This site has some of the the newest and most innovative/creative forms of animation I've seen. For example, look up the video 'smoke 2011'. It's ridiculous.
