TUMBLING ON

After a long break and a lot of thought... I decided to tumble.

Find me here!

KRYSTAL: MONSTER STYLIST

A monster concept. She's a horn stylist--kind of like a nail stylist but for horns on monsters. She's talkative, opinionated, and a bit sassy.

1VS1: BODY TYPES & COSTUME

JORINDA & JORINGEL: SAFE FOREST

At first, I wanted to have more of a graphic look with flatter colors. But along the way, I got a bit lost. I might redo it later. For now, it's something.

JORINDA & JORINGEL: ROUGH COLOR BG

Rough color backgrounds for mood testing. First one is of the evil witch's castle. Second one is the safe part of the forest.

ALI'I CHESS: SECOND PASS

More concept sketches. Redesigned the knight piece as Maui, the man who caught and slowed the sun.

JORINDA & JORINGEL: CHAR SKETCHES

Some character sketches of the Grimm fairy tale "Jorinda and Joringel" if it took place in a lowtech future Samurai Jack (without the hyper stylization) type place.

MICE SKETCHES 02

Final mouse sketches. I'm cleaning up the scan on a different computer and dang... all of the "whites" from my previous scans are totally grey. So either this scan will be washed out or it'll be a lot better than my previous ones.

THE GARDEN: LAYOUTS

Finished most of the rough lined animation. Currently working on backgrounds and some final lined animation. Chug-chug chugging along! (choo choo)

ALI'I CHESS: FIRST PASS

What if chess pieces were Hawaii themed characters? This is a first pass.

BOUNCING BALL

Bouncing ball with a twist.

CHOWDER'S NEVERENDING STORY: FINAL RENDER

I took the final designs from the redesign/style exercise, rendered them, and put them in screenshots of Chowder. Do they match?

THE NEVERENDING STORY OF BELLEVILLE

This is a style exercise where I redesigned three of the characters from the Neverending Story in the style of The Triplets of Belleville. 

THE GARDEN: CREDITS

Designing the credits is harder than designing the actual animation.

IDENTITY CONFUSION

Based on Japanese masks.

CHOWDER'S NEVERENDING STORY: SKETCHES

The Neverending Story in the style of Chowder:

MICE SKETCHES

Young mice

NO PEN

I was so ready to work when I realized I forgot to pack my tablet pen... What's the use of a tablet without a pen?

CHRISTMAS AFTERMATH

Right now I'm busy spending Christmas in Japan. Here's a snapshot of our Christmas aftermath. So much wrapping paper.

FLIP BOOK: THE FLY

Made this animation with pencil and paper. I respect people who can animate and time traditionally.
