This week we were given two directives: emulate an artist and choose a composition for an illustration. I chose to emulate was Eyvind Earle. I included one of the paintings that inspired me. I was most inspired by their lighting techniques and their use of contrast. I chose the L shape composition to use for this illustration.

Ball Bounce Animation - Third Pass
Here is my third attempt at a ball bounce animation. I've got more notes to go through, and I want to exaggerate some things and clean it up some more, but I'm excited to be making progress!

Animation - Move it!
Here's the playblast of my first animation here! I got some feedback to exaggerate everything, and I'm excited to use that feedback in our next assignment. Next one is going to be fixing my ball bounce.
Concepts - Week 1 Basic Shapes
These are my concepts, I had a lot of fun with the triangular shape!
The circular one is a big, fluffy duck creature with mouths in its stomach. I also made a stone guy, who seams chill but will crush you, and a Goat-Dragon! The Goat dragon has massive horns that you'd think would prevent it from quick movement, but don't be fooled, it can climb mountains with the agility of a mountain goat.
