Demo Reel Sneak Preview - Animated Chibis!

Well I'm still working away on my demo reel but I thought I'd show you guys a little piece of it. These five flash animations loop in the corner of the screen as other art of the character climbs up the page. They're really short but they are designed to play over and over and over again. :3 -

So anyhow, they're kind of cute :3 Enjoy.

Coming Soon: DEMO REEL!

Most people who know me are aware that the majority of my time right now is going toward my demo reel. But when I tell them this, they don't really know what to imagine. So I thought I'd provide a sneak preview via some screenshots I took of the reel.
-
For those who don't know, a demo reel is a short, 1-3 minute clip that showcases the best work of an artist and/or animator - it's like a portfolio in video form.
-
Here is a screenshot which shows the three parts I'm including in my demo reel. These three bars appear on the screen one by one, and then the selected one turns a different color (much like a dvd menu).
The character design section is what I'm working on right now. Here's a few screenshots:

As you can see, there is three parts to this shot. On the far left is the character turnaround, which loops between a front view, a quarter view, and a side view. On the far right is an animated flash character. These characters are on a "wheel" and rotate in and out. When selected, their animation loops over and over again a few times while the other art is being shown. In the middle is a fully-rendered drawing of the character, which slowly scrolls up in the background.

Here is another example.

So yeah, that is what is occupying most of my time. I'll still have some new art for you guys though, as well, so keep stopping by. :3

Mirror Image

Here's an experimental piece that I've been working on for the last week.
-
I don't know, I might come back and add a background later. Does it need one? It's kind of strange that there is a background reflected in the mirror when there isn't an actual one...but maybe it's okay.

Nothing But Pencil...

Okay you guys... so the last couple of weeks have literally been the most busy in my entire life - not kidding. :(
As you may have noticed, I haven't posted for a long time. Well, that's why. And I'm not out of the tunnel yet, either, although I can see the light at the end now, at least!
-
Anyhow, this unfortunately means I haven't gotten a whole lot of time to work on art lately. However, it doesn't stop me from drawing completely. So, I thought I'd post my latest stuff just to remind you all that hey, I'm still alive and making stuff! But due to my schedule, it will all be (for now) in pencil.
-
First, a new character design: Kel Zeiter! She will make an appearance, somewhere, some time, some place... ;)
An important scene from the generational role-play G7...
And lastly, an introduction to my latest written novel project, Forsaken ... (And no, I haven't had time to work on this much either. Urgh I hate being busy...)
