Starting Small

For my first time animating in Maya, I really enjoyed it! Just a quick walk cycle to get myself familiar.

Fin! Brings a Rocketeer to my eye...

Finished this one up tonight. Had way too much fun with those clouds. :)

Progress!

Inked-er up and added the values to it, next step is color, but, I'm still figuring out what I want to do with the area by the feet in order to better "ground" him... Word!

Night-time sketch WIP

I couldn't justify going to sleep without drawing something and since the Rocketeer is one of the coolest characters around, I decided to sketch him up in my own style. Color comes tomorrow!

Puppy Animation (Highmark)

A little animation I did for Highmark while working at Animal VFX. The characters are super simple to match the style of the commercial. I thought it was a fun challenge to take such simple/graphic characters and bring them to life as much as possible!

I handled the modeling/rigging and animation of both characters.

Highmark Commercials

Ok so I finally got the chance to upload some of the work I did for Highmark while working with Animal VFX. They're a great group of people, I had fun working with them and learned a lot!

I handled all of the character modeling/rigging/animation.
