Looped Animation

Looped banner animation! Very simple, very bannerish....

MoGraph Practices

Second attempt at animating a bobble effect. This time around I added an antenna effect to the little skinny off shoots. A lot more movement..... and a ton more time spent on it.

Practicing my animation with 2d objects. I'm trying to learn to make fluid movements that really stand out and look appealing. 

Fancy Artwork - Thursday

This is a small piece I made between projects. It is hard to read, but it says; The wind likes to speak to me. 

The inspiration was from this piece that I had originally made.

Re-texturing an old project

Decided to get this motorcycle rendered better now that it's been 2 years since I made it. :)

Razor Edge Knives

The regrind acid etch logo I created for Razor Edge Knives is looking great! Really loving this design! 

Brochure Artwork

Bwam! Working on some artwork for my brochure! The left is the original design and the right is what I ended up with. Just shows that a little imperfection can make a design more visually pleasing =D

Sink Poster

Sink The Anchor

I've got this itch right now for one word inspired pictures. Tonight's word was, 'sink'. Sink the anchor to stay. Sometimes not moving isn't the wrong decision. Sometimes it's just what you need.

And no, in case you were wondering, I didn't take the picture of the table and everything else on it :) The painting in the background is all that I created.

Booklet Work

Put ingredients into a bowl and mix. Cook the mix and you have....pizza! :D..... or an extremely bad cheesecake...

This is a combination of abstract background art I'm using in my latest project; a small booklet showcasing my repertoire and containing a semi detailed résumé. Most of this art is faded into the background and simply there to add depth to the actual text and graphics. 

 

Journal Doodles

Page one to my new journal! I've been adding new designs here and there for the past couple of days. I wanted page one to really pop before I began writing in journal entries.

T-day, I stayed pretty close to meh-self, trying out new art styles. I've always loved this particular look since I saw a similar design on the Misterwives album. Although this isn't as detailed, I still feel it is a step in that direction.

It says 'DAVID' in a nice cool popping font with some inspiration from my previous drawings.

Contest Artwork

This is some artwork from a contest I entered a few weeks ago. They're still voting (as of June 25th)!

Painting Exercises

I did a real quick brush on the drop shadows, nothing too fancy. I was more focused on edges and surface area in this particular sketch.

After Effects - Monday Motion! + Tuesday Motion!

Motion Monday!

video opener + lower thirds

 Motion Tuesday!

title card

These are a few looped clips of animation I made Monday (June 1st) and Tuesday (June 2nd). 

I spent so much time working on new techniques and workflows that I never really got around to making anything too useful. These techniques were absolutely new to me yesterday morning. I'm still trying to learn how to animate the stretch and squish in After Effects. 

You can use this link to view them in high quality on YouTube: Motion Monday And Tuesday

Low Poly Tree

This marks the first time I've created low poly in Photoshop. There's a few things I'll do different next time, but for now I think it looks pretty swell. It took me around 4 hours to do the tree. Mainly because of the setup time and messing around to get the right look. I'd get half way through part of it then change my mind, delete it, and start over again using larger triangles.

Sketches

Early morning pen and paper sketches while the snow falls outside. They're mostly inspired by a friends story about a wizard chipmunk. The two in the middle, however, would be personal drawings. Monster chomp monkey on the middle right. Meaningless eye candy.
