Moonwalker Clip

It's been up for a couple of days but this is what i've got for the Moonwalker clip i worked on all semester. still need a lot of work but i'm moving on to the rest of the video. as i say in the youtube description I put in some temp coloring and some very basic effects. Over winter break I want to have all of the rest story boarded and focus more on backgrounds

The Scientist character designs

He is employed by the Setnorm Corporation, and his duty is to prepare the Captain for his voyage.
He’s dedicated to his work however things don’t always work out. He’s terrified of his boss, Control and rather not get on his bad side.

Moonwalker Update

Got new scenes really roughed out and put together. Still lots to do but yay progress!!

Starting Scientist Kyle

I'm taking this previous design for Kyle's cameo as the  Setnorm scientist who gets the main character ready for his journey. I'm trying out some different variations right now.

I like this last design using a bit of triangle for the body shape tying it in a bit with his boss (Jon). I have to change the proportions a bit though, he's a little too hero-ish

Newest Ranger Danger Poster

i was asked to make another poster by my friends Ranger Danger for their show this friday. They wanted to go with the graphical style again with the same color scheme. This time I did caricature of their usual clothing choice for the stage. I think i like Kyle's, the pink tie on black the best. Below is the quick doodles of the different color combinations for each of them

Something Turned Up in the Mail Today

Ranger Danger Update

First I got a bit more of to my Commander scene. Hopefully this clip will play though

Then I got some video of the guys at last Friday's Late Nite Wake Up Show. There is The Familiar

 

More should be up soon.

Commander Walk Rough

the next scene i'm working on is The Commander walking in and looking at a computer. i got a cleaner pass of The Commander and i've started doing the Worker he looks at

TONIGHT

Late Nite Wake Up's third comedy showcase. I haven't seen any of these guys perform before but I've met Justin Golak before shooting Independant's Festival promos.
Should be fun so come out!

Ranger Danger Poster

I got the option for the next Late Nite Wake Up to make a custom poster for my friends Ranger Danger. I took this opportunity up, but instead of making something in my usual cartoon style or straight photo, I went with something more graphical. Also used it as a way to get more practice with Illustrator 

Nanowrimo Begins

Today is the first day of National Novel Writing Month and I'm happy to report I'm off to a good start as of this post I am at 1686 words which is just over the daily target! Yay! This year I'm doing something a little different and I'm taking another swing at my Victorville vampires from way back in high school. Most of you probably don't know what I'm talking about. It's mainly centered around Brendon and Emma, a young vampire couple at the stage of the relationship when you know it's coming to an end but don't want to admit it. But surounding is other small stories of different characters from the town. I'm not sad or sorry to admit but all this is inspired by the Fall Out Boy music video "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me"

New Ranger Danger Song Out

For Halloween the guys released their newest single "Sleep Now, Run Later" Formally known as Kellan's Song

More Storyboards and other upates

Got more of the bridge figured out. I actually have a little bit more done, or at lest sketched out and a title up so I'll be posting up those really soon. if not tomorrow. It's been pretty helpful to work in cameos into the story. Oh yeah, I don't think I wrote it down here but I'm working the guys into the story. I liked my Evil Jon and Scientist Kyle from my character design project. I couldn't use Secret Agent Kellan so instead I made him the head of the security squad.  I also figured out ship designs. 

So this is the SS Julien. (If anyone understands what the model code stands for I will give you a prize, like an original drawing or something of that sort.) I went with closer to a retro feel. At first I looked at more of the sleeker longer style but in the end I went closer to the toy rocket style. Even with the color scheme. I wanted to make it smaller too just so it's easier to believe our Captain can run it by himself

We also have the enemy ship C2A111. I wanted it to look like a giant always watching eye.

Lastly I have a possible Title for the beginning. Based off of Ranger Danger's band sticker. 

Hero, Sidekick, and Villain

For character design we had to come up with a hero, villain, and sidekick. There's a little bit of a inside joke that Kellan and I have where I think he is a secret agent, so I ran with that idea. Kellan is a James Bond style agent, Jon is the evil master mind, and Kyle is the scientist who makes all the gagets.

Moonwalker Progress

Slowly but surely I'm making progress. Here's two scenes kind of roughed out. I do have more of an animatic but some timing changes need to be done

Some more of Jay

i told you he'd be back. for my character design class we had to take a preexisting character, draw them in 4 different poses. Than taking one of those and showing it in a low and high angle 

Something's Wrong On The SS Julien

Jon's Birthday Show

And if Comic Con wasn't enough, Saturday night was also Jon Grubbs from Ranger Danger's birthday party. It was a really fun and great show. Got some friends to come out, and got some new merch (sadly i lost my sticker sometime on the way home) If you haven't seen them aready, or if you have and want another dose, they will be back a Victory's Oct 12. Also Ranger Danger released their newest single "The Familiar" which is one of my favorites. Theres' no widget to play it from this post so instead visit http://www.columbuslocalmusic.com/rangerdanger

MidOhio ComicCon

Saturday was a long day. Starting with ComicCon. I mostly spent my time running around getting pictures of Cosplayers. But I'll get to that in a sec. First I'll get it out now, I didn't see Patrick Stewart or Val Kilmer. The people I got to see, and wanted to see, was some of the guys at Cyanide and Happiness, Shawn and Kris. And going by the constant line from their booth I wasn't the only one. These guys were really cool. If you bought something, I got a poster, they would sign it and DO A FREE SKETCH! awesome right? I asked them to draw something with Loki and Doctor Who and this is what I got

(Nether of them really knew anything about Doctor Who)

Than afterword I kept up my usual tradition, so congratulation guys welcome to the "Little Boo with..." Club!

And then Boo got to be on a dalek

So yeah, pretty much the rest of the time I was catching Cosplayers. Here are my favorites
