School update

ok I'm going to try and post the pics that I said i was going to post yesterday and I hope that you like them, i will explain what each picture is by describing what you're looking at below the picture so that way you're not lost.

This is the wall that is in front of my classroom for 2d Animation. The door on the left is where I would walk into class and the port holes are where people who are walking by can look in and see what we are working on. The Plaques that are on the wall are movies, games, etc, that are projects graduated students have worked on in the professional field, like the Matrix, King Kong, Call of Duty 2, etc etc.


This is the desk where I work on my 2d Animation projects (which is what i'm taking right now). It's a great desk and it is pretty pricey if you wanted to buy one for yourself. If you don't believe me look it up!

This is me working at my desk. I really love this class!! I will be posting my work by this friday so that everyone can see what i've been working on.



If you remember the very first picture with the plaques, this is the wall that's to the right of it. So if you were to turn your head, or whole body to the right, you would be facing this wall. What's special about this wall is that one of my past projects from OPE (object perspective...AKA Art class) was hung up for all of the students and passing visitors on a tour of the campus to see and admire. My work takes up the whole right side. you'll see in the next picture.

We had to create an original character and then build a Maquette (not in pictures) of the character we drew. This is different types of staging that we used. The silhouette is just to see if your poses would be noticeable to an audience if they couldn't see the full character, ex. a shadow. The very top picture in this picture was a drawing of the front, side, and back view of my character (a dragon). This was to help when it came to building the Maquette since I was building it off of the reference that I drew for myself so I could make it look how it should. Last but not least was the very middle picture. This is a demographic that we had to do for our character. I made him a baby dragon, isn't he cute? lol.


This picture is right below the one above on the same wall. The top 5 faces are different expressions that my character has. I can't remember what they all are (except for the middle which is WTF?!), but if you want me to tell you, i'll write them down next time i pass by. The bottom set of 5 faces are what's called canon changes; meaning what my character looks like having similar traits but different features, eyes, head, snout, etc, etc.


This is the same hallway but looking to the left from the very first picture. If you look all the way to the back wall, you'll see the pictures of my dragon, hanging there. Anyways, back to this wall. It leads into my OPE class which i had a couple of months back. If you don't remember what OPE means, then i suggest you read the above captions!! What is cool about this wall is that it displays another piece that I did for that class. If you look at the very bottom closest to you, that is where this next picture below is hanging.



This picture was my perspective drawing for OPE. I really like the way it came out and a lot of other people were very happy about it as well. The teachers really liked a lot of my art, and since they're fine arts majors, it was very hard to please them, so when I did, it meant a lot to me. With all of my pieces, they never complained about any of them, so I guess I was doing something right in class. They did make suggestions however on what I could do to make it stand out more = )

So there you have it, a pretty good update for you to look at (whoever you are). I hope that you have liked my little showcase for today = ) Thanks for looking!
