VGDC + PMC Game Jam animations

This weekend was the VGDC + PMC Game Jam! The Video Game Design Club and the Pencil Mileage Club collaborated, split up into groups, and worked on designing and creating their own video games in 48 hours.
In the game our team created, you play as a ninja-beaver who must fight off hordes of cockroaches to protect a nuclear reactor. We eloquently named it 'Nuclear Ninja Beavers'
I basically took my pre-existing cockroach rig, adapted it to be compatible with the Unity game engine, and animated it!

For your viewing pleasure


Le Breakdown:
1. Walk Cycle
2. Attack
3. Flinch Right
4. Flinch Left
5. Death




I'll post some in-game footage soon. Our programmer friendos are polishing up their code and working on maybe making it playable through the web browser.
Cheers!

Getting Back Into the Swing of Life Drawing Classes


It's been almost a full year since I've been in a formal life drawing class. So far, I've only had the PMC life drawing sessions and the LA Drawing Club to sustain me.
Still, it's not the same as having an instructor on your back to whip you into shape! And now, four weeks and a few hundred pieces of paper later, I found TWO descent drawings! Yes! Count em... TWO!

ONE!

 TWO!

Looks like I have a ways to go. Cheers!

487e assignment 1 - Keyframes

WOAH! Two updates in one day?? Strange, I know.
Vuala! I present my keys for the first animation assignment of the semester: Have your character try to get an item down from a high shelf




I had a bit of fun rigging the stool, too

Pink's - pencil test

An idea for a short 2D animation that I put together over the summer. Now that the year's started again, I'm balls to the wall busy and won't have the time to ink and color it in. So I figured I'd share this little bit of brain vomit with you now!
Anyone who's eaten at Pink's Hot Dogs in LA will have some idea of the digestive consequences.
