Sketches

I did these today while I was working. My sketchpad is highly therapeutic for me because it gives me a chance to take a break from the computer screen and actually work with a pencil for a while. I recommend it!


Learning the ropes

Over the past week and a half I've really learned a ton about game animation. I'm also finding that there is less facial animation and more of a focus on physical animation (at least on the current game I'm working on). It's also very interesting how all the animations for a character is compiled for a working scene in the game. The cut scenes I really enjoy because there is much more room for acting and performance that includes facial expressions. The work flow here is pretty fast paced which is forcing me to be a quicker animator (which is a good thing). I'm animating Sam right now. He's a pretty cool character and love his hat!

NEW JOB!!

I finally got a job! TellTale Games


Updates

I haven't been around for a while... almost a year to be exact! Crazy. I just haven't had time to post anything this year. I've been busy getting married and finishing my thesis! Last Dec. I graduated from AAU finally! My thesis presentation went well but I still have plans over the next few months to reformat the entire project and tweak the rendering and animation. Here are a few screen shots-
