Groms....

I recently became friends with an amazing artist Aaron Woe: Creator of Angry Woebots and founder of Army of Snipers International. Recently I was inducted into the Army of Snipers Crew. Inspired by his Panda designs, I decided I would post my step by step animation process of Aaron Woe's Angry Panda.

I found this image online and decided to use this as one of my poses for this animation.

This next Image I decided would be the start for my first pose for the test. These are earlier designs of his Panda, which have evolved over the years, but I loved the intensity of there attitude.

So then it was time to put together these two images in flash and begin my ruff animation. Even though I used these images as my initial poses, I thought I would be more natural to animate straight ahead and see where the inspiration takes me. It a pretty good start thus far. Soon I will post the background and additional ruff animation before going to final.

PEACE!

So now I've quickly added in a prop for the panda. In this case a king's head. It could be this is how the Panda earned his crown. Next I will be putting in some blood effects then begin clean up. Till then, Peace.

"If you feel like leaving you know you can go

But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
If you want to be free, you know, all you got to do is say so
And when you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you.."-Hall and Oates

So I here is a illustration I recently did for a Poster. There are some design issues I have with it but I was overall happy with the outcome. I am steadily improving not having painted for so long.. Painting in Photoshop has become quite the adventure... I love especially looking online at all the incredible digital artists that are out there, which has inspired me to continually improve. Peace.

So here are some examples of boards from a short animated concept I have. The previous postings showed two images of the opening shot going from a black and white storyboard, to fully rendered illustration. This short piece was a personal test for me to really push acting and emotion within my drawings and convey the unlikely relationship of two characters Barclay the fatherlike Bee and Jasper the young fledgling learning to fly.

Here is a ruff board panel above, that I decided to take it to a finished illustration piece below. I was inspired by my brother to try out his photoshop technique in my style of drawing. I think for my first go at it the illustration turned out nicely. Thanks Bro!

Here is a new image I did for an opening shot of our music video promo. This music video is inspired by all the Skating videos seen on the web today. Once finished, I will be sure to post. Peace.
