Hey everyone, I hope everyone finds the time to enjoy this day, whether you're on the hunt for those hidden eggs, or in church. Happy Easter! Here's a little Easter joke for ya'. Why did the Easter egg hide? He was a little chicken! Ha ha, okay that was bad...Well at least I tried. :)  Here are some animation tests which I have completed for an intermediate animation class. I do wish I had more time to dabble with my own animation, I do have one I'm working on, but I think it's quite too soon to show it yet. :p Emotion Animation Test Flour Sack Emotions

I was feeling brave and at the time I wanted to give painting with oils a try on a small canvas. I just kinda went into it, didn't really think about references and what I was going to do, cause then I'd just end up staring at a blank canvas all day.  In the end, it was a blast using a new medium and finally using oils. I definitely want to continue working with it!

The character is finally completed a few days ago and now, I've got the internet to finally upload it! made some poses for him. However the envelopes, which are what determines where the bones will manipulate and how much, isn't fully perfected, even though I spent a few sleepless night trying to fix them up, I'll continue to do so, and hopefully I can make a short animation clip with him.

Now here's what I've been working on for the 3D modeling class,  I am one step closer to bringing the Character to life~! There's still a lot of details I want to  get into the base model, before I work on adding the next level of detail! Then I've got to put the bones under the mesh so that I can get some nice movement going.

A character based off a created by a fellow classmate. We were told to create a character description, and then we were surprised to learn that we'll be swapping characters.I had to design the character, and in the coming week, start modeling him in 3D! So, I was assigned the Characabra, which beastly creature of legend, that resides deep in the valleys. Those who wander near his territory are never seen again.
