In the Middle

The updated version of my animatic (kind of)

Sooo I've reformatted my computer and am having a few issues so please bare with me as I get over this lump. For 2 days all I've had is Maya and paint.. so I haven't even been able to edit footage...
In that time I tried my hand at fur and hair! I got some funny results:

On my character Kobak, a model I made for Lee Wolland's 3D character design class.
The reason I'm doing this is because I am honestly considering making my
project in 3D. However it also never hurts to learn new things!

I'm currently in Riverdale at the moment.
When I get back to Brooklyn much scanning will happen.
I have re-made Father Death's character design!

*update in near future.

A needed update!

Expect more tonight! In either the form of a post edit or new post.

I wonder if anyone is interested in seeing the process... if so I'll put it up.
I'm really trying to go in a more realistic style for this.

I also whiped up this I think yesterday:

it's a super quick color sketch inspired by one of skullmaster's videos from mexico. He's also hosting a really spiffy collage project which you guys should check out and participate in here.
this portrait was me experimenting coloring backwards.. using a technique that I've artists like Jason Chan use... Which is make the picture in black and white with all the gray tones then add color!
