Nickelodeon Animated Comedy Shorts Submission

As today is the submission date I feel that I can post up these images. A couple of weeks ago, in my spare time from college I drew up a submission for the Nickelodeon Animated Comedy Shorts Competition. I actually finished and sent it off a month ago because for some stupid reason entries from outside the United States have to be posted instead of submitted online. We had to come up with a one minute short with at least 2 kid characters and set in one location. It wasn't easy. Anyway my idea is entitled "Timothy the Tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex in What is it for?" Hope you like it.

New Youtube Videos

A head Turn I did when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you so much Phillip.

A comparison between a 2D and 3D walk cycle.

The 3D walk cycle was done wit the help on Eric Goldberg's book Character Animation Crash Course and the 2D walk cycle was done when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you Phillip.

Just some storyboards I did recently. I wanted to board and action scene where two fights where going on a the same time that had nothing to do with each other.

Redone again. Many thanks to Bobby Rubio

A new action storyboard for my portfolio. The muscular platypus men are robbing a bank so the Toons (need to think of a better name) arrive to stop them. At the same time Ultimate Man is pissed off because people don't like him as much as Doodleboy. And start scene.

Redone again. Many thanks to Bobby Rubio

Updates about Uli Meyer and Pictures

I was supposed to start my work experience at Uli Meyer studios, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the studio just moving. I understand but I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

New Animation Station Cast

Mickey and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

I wanted a new female character for the Animation Station, so I decided to dust off that old Pocahontas design I did for college. I imagined her as a cross between Dora the Explorer and Calvin fro Calvin and Hobbes. The Gorilla acts as her talking backpack.

Villains of the Doodleboy and the Toons Universe.

My animatic for the DroomWeavers Euro ABCD Project. I didn't write the song. With the character designs I was going for a Ed Bennedict channeling through Craig Kellman feel. In other words, a Hanna-Barbera look.
