Raptor Stuff

More comic stuff.

My story's main protagonist (or antagonist, at this point it's kind of up to who's reading the comic) is a raptor. I really wanted to go more in the direction of birdlike raptors rather than full on dinosaurs. I have yet to get comfortable drawing them but luckily they're tons of fun to pose and stretch. =)

I haven't hit on a design I enjoy for the main character yet, so more to come. I'm warning you, they're very messy. The point was just to get shape and value across- the comic itself will be either black/white or monochromatic sepia tones.

 

Dino Concepts

So I'm taking a graphic novel class, and halfway through the semester I finally come up with a story idea that sounds okay. Somewhat late, but at least there's still some time at this point. I'll probably end up posting the comic here once I'm done with it.

It's about dinosaurs. Yep. I'm not happy with these designs, but that just means more to come. Sorry for the bad cropping, his tail ends at the end of the page!

How did I ever get into this odd schedule of updating my blog at 2-3am at night? It seems a rare occasion that I update during daylight. Hmm.

Jaguarundi - Second Try

I wasn't particularly happy with the way the first attempt came out. To me it seemed very stiff and over-complicated for a cat that's almost solidly one color. Therefore, I tried to simplify it a bit more this time as if it were actually for animation.

Tell me which one you guys enjoy more- it may be interesting to hear opinions!

Character Turnaround - 3D Modeling

It seems that finally, after a year and a half of working in the program, Maya is starting to cooperate with me (that is if you ignore the program crashing last week on one of my finished assignments...). Still, surprisingly everything works fine when I'm modeling. We're finally getting into character modeling as opposed to just props and such, so I thought I might share a few screenshots.

My character is a quick drawing of a boy (I think I'll name him Tommy). I just finished his torso and we'll be modeling the arms, legs, and head soon.
