Lady Knights!

Another drawing jam!  I've been itching to do this one for a while, but had trouble coming up with good designs for characters.  This was done using this randomizer.



Axe. Athletic. Cranky. Persian. Dragon.  Can't wait to ink and paint her digitally!

FUN FACT: when I was a toddler I wanted to be a boy so I could be a knight when I grew up.  I have since learned you don't need to be a boy to defend your country's/family's honour and destroy your enemies UwU

"Ryan" Style Selfie

Another one for the drawing jam!

 
After watching the documentary "Ryan", we thought it would be cool to draw a self portrait depicting physical alterations based on the positive and negative things that had happened to us throughout our lives.  It was certainly interesting to think about how my life has affected me, and this selfie could have turned out way differently if I had focused on other aspects of my life instead of the ones that I had.  So this was a really cool drawing jam to do!

Rough Animations

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting much at all lately but I had been really sick for about a month and fell way behind in my assignments.  I've been struggling to catch up, and with this being the final week of the term, I've been pretty stressed out.  To compensate, here are the animations I've been working on! Unfortunately due to the above circumstances they're only roughs, but my main focus was the animation itself.  I'll be able to clean these up at a later date.



My Profile Walk.  I was originally going for a "Hakuna Matata" feel for the head swaying, but I ended up breaking my character's neck!  I toned it down and it ended up looking a lot better.

My profile fast and slow runs.  The fast run character is a vicuña that escaped from the farm she lives on.  The slow run character is the farmer trying to get her back.




Here's the jump animation I'm working on now.  My character is a panther who's trying to climb onto a tree branch.  This is my first rough, so I'm gonna have to add more key frames for it to work, but when he's suspended in the air it looks pretty good.
