Random doodles with a dash of color.  The addition of shadows help my roughs look more polished than they really are.  Cheers.

One of my favorite movies in middle school was The Crow.  I liked the dark subject matter and thought the character was such a badass.  Anyhoo,  the sketch was originally a value study for something more finished.  I ended up liking how it looked and with the suggestion of my coworker, Chase, I threw up some textures on it for the finish.

Meet Hornsby!  It was my first 5 second day at Titmouse and I still can’t believe I was able to have one done in time.  The last time I really animated anything was the fall of 2008.  It was very nerve wracking as 5 second day approached as I had no idea of what to do.  I came into the studio with no idea in sight and opened up photoshop to get some inspiration.  Luckily I designed Hornsby and just found a music track to animate him to. I finished animation on Monday(5 second day) and spent Tuesday after hours cleaning up the animation and adding color. I spent a little bit of Wednesday doing a quick composite job for the shadows thanks to my buddies Parker and Mike.

I’ve meaning to get back into animating stuff, so thankfully, 5 Second Day helped get that ball rolling.  Let me know what you guys think.  Also, check out what the other Titmice did for 5 Second Day on the titblog. http://titbloginc.blogspot.com

Cheers!

So this week’s Titblog theme is to design your inner warrior.  It’s another incarnation of my luchador avatar.  Anyhoo, check what the other Titmice have whipped up for this inner warrior theme.  Cheers.
