Turntables are my weakness as a character designer. I dont get to do them often since I never make it/ commit to a character design this far. It was a great learning experience to see what aspects of the original design needed to be altered for 3D animation.

My Second and Third Assignments
My first assignment for Design for Production.
Here are a few character exploration pages for my first assignment. I’m going to work on another one too. Hope you enjoy 🙂
I’ve got to get better at posting my work lol
Since I’ve started my new job, I havent been posting a whole lot on my blog. Since I’m starting the second part of my concept design class for production this week, I decided I need to start posting again. So here is a starbucks lid and my cover page for my facebook account. Hope you enjoy 🙂
Assignment 7: An Animal Character Design
Here was my assignment from last week. It was to design an animal character. After careful decisions design wise I chose the Raccoon Dog. I felt it gave me the most options when it came to creating a graphic styled character that still felt like it was designed by me. My instructor loved it! He didn’t give me any critiques to improve it, so that’s awesome. Thanks everyone for the ideas There were other animals that once the class is over I might explore further.
Assignment 6 Being able to Mimic Another Artists Style
For this weeks assignment we had to design a dragon character based off the style of Ronald Searle and Jay Ward. They are two extremely different artists when figuring out characteristics of their work. My instructor gave me some really good feedback so I’ll be going back into these and updating them per his suggestions. Only two more weeks to go!
Assignment 5 Tell a Story
In this week’s assignment we had to have at least two characters that are interacting with each other in either a park bench or a bus stop. Naturally I had to add Death at the park lol Enjoy.
Assignment 4 Chracter Faces
This weeks assignment was literally a last minute thing. I’ve been pretty busy all week in preparation of leaving my current job at IKEA for my first industry job as a concept artist. So I’ve been running around crazy. So today I actually had time to work on my homework assignment. It was pretty hard considering we were making just character faces for librarians. And it was not an easy task. I hope you enjoy 🙂
Assignment 3 Character Lineup
In this one I focused more on the quality of the character designs and less on rendering. This one was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
