Insert unoriginal title about updating my blog here

Adding new bits and pieces on this blog. A while ago I added some sections with work to this blog, since I don't have my own website yet. Currently I'm working on updating the Commissioned Work page.

I'm adding more projects, pieces of artwork from and behind the scenes photos of those projects. There's some new stuff already, so take a look!

Grim Reaper

A character design for an animation for a Dutch museum in Utrecht. I've been working on a lot of short freelance projects in Illustrator and After Effect. So it's quite nice to draw something without vectors again :)

Also, I have been very busy with these projects, it's been quite hard to squeeze in some time to work on Do The Robot. But at least I have someone working on my sky backgrounds for that film.

Drawing challenge: hybrid animals

I don't really draw that much (especially for an animator), but recently I joined a facebook drawing group with some friends. Every three days there's a new challenge, which is good because it kind of forces me to draw more. I'm not that much of an experienced drawer. I have a bit of trouble to get what I want on paper, which also prevents me from drawing more or posting them online.. which is totally stupid!

So here's the drawing, I call the creature... a Bark! (Bear-Shark hah!)

I really need to practice on shading and adding details. Also did a quick coloured version in photoshop, but I prefer the one with the visible sketchlines more.

So from today on I'm going to draw on a more regular basis. Yay!

Robot Walkcycle

I'm very busy with the compositing of my movie, and honestly, there's still too much that needs to be done. I have to go back to all the previous After Effects files, check them for little mistakes and improve them. The version for my final exam was a very quick composited version, so things such as keying are done very roughly. Sometime's it goes a little bit slow, but I'm making little bits of progress about every day.


Here's a new preview!

I live, not they, I..

This blog is not dead! I'm currently updating the lay-out and different sections (the buttons beneath the header) bit by bit. And coming very soon is a little update about Do The Robot!
