The Character TD Blog

http://www.thecharactertdblog.blogspot.com

I created this new blog to be a resource for people looking to learn how to rig and do cloth sims and what not as well as be a place for other TD's to critique and comment, share tips and whatever else.

Team Blog from work

So I work at Grand Canyon University right now as a Lead Multimedia Designer, and my team and I have started a blog of random art and other things. The trick is we take a name that is randomly generated and then have to draw our interpretation of it. Fun stuff, go check it out at:

Poser Kid

Just imagine he is in front of the mirror in his bed room posing for the ladies, or really happy to get punched in the face. hmmmm, maybe i will make the Bully next...Great Idea Matt!

Jason Ryan Animation

So I finally got some money together to get a tutorial from a phenominal animator named Jason Ryan. He has worked for Don Bluth in the past on films I grew up with, and now works for Disney and is a Mentor for Animation Mentor. He is SO freakin' nice he even made time to send ME(a lowly-nobody animator) a jump rope rigg to help with the tutorial. How cool is that!? I'm sure he is busy with a billion other things. SO if you are looking to improve your skills head over to www.jasonryananimation.com and buy some of his awesome tutorials! And if someone happens to have a torrent of his files, shoot them in the face......With a water gun of course....
and kindly turn them down, cause crime doesn't pay. ARF!

ok...

Girl Sketch

A possible piece of art for a certain short. I was surprised how quick I pumped this out. The sketch AND paint only took like an hour, although it is reflected in the quality.

Short Film Blog Started

So, here is the link to the blog for a short film my buddy Kyle and I have been working on for a while but just now recently got around to really getting stuff done on. I will be periodically be posting artwork and other progress on the film as we get it done.

A troll in central...nowhere

I actually spent a couple hours on this one(mostly the shading of the upper lip). Upon second review, he reminded me of a mix between Shrek and Scooby Doo....maybe its just me. Anyways, it's supposed to be a troll. I was just practicing the lighting and the sub-surface scattering on his ears mainly.

Some Girl

A new painting, not the best, but I put a little more time into it.

quick sketch -01

some goats for a side project I have been thinking of doing, not sure if it will ever happen though.

Sleep Walkin'

The newest sketch, I think I might try to do one everyday like Mel Milton.
