Been Awhile

I’ve got a few more drawings and paintings on the go that I hope to post here soon. Lately I’ve been working with a band called SugarSnap. I think it is hands down the most fun I have ever had on a music project. To warn you…it is a fluffy pop project with no substance, and I love it!

Look Into My Eyes

I love drawing in graphite. There is something very therapeutic in the simplicity of this medium.

Oh So Delicate Feathers

Feathers – Graphite

I recently got back into drawing and painting again and decided to work in Graphite, one of my favourite mediums. It can be deceivingly tricky to get things just right with graphite. You need to have alot of patience, especially with the darker areas.

Playmobile Toys Come to Life

I worked on this shot for Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium at Satellite Studios. I had to make these little Playmobile guys come to life. It was really fun to work on. This whole shot was done using XSI ( I still have trouble calling it Softimage ). I did all the modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, tracking and rendering. This is the full uncropped frame to give you and idea what the original plates were like. Compositing was done by Gregg Lukomski.

Sssssscary Ssssssnake

A test Trevor Harder and I did before I worked on a gazillion shots on “Snakes on a Plane” . Animating snakes gets quite boring after awhile.

All of the snake was actually done in Lightwave. If any of you have rigged in Lightwave before you know this type of rig was quite the pain. I currently prefer to work with Softimage and have done alot of animating in Maya as well.

Trevor Harder did the lighting, compositing and rendering. I modeled, textured, rigged and animated it.
