Trolley Doodles

Something neat about just the backside of the paper with the straight grey tones bleeding through. Also helps to judge where I can use more tone to bring out the depth.

Just doodles, I'd really like to do an animated bg, something simple with a few layers to create a good sense of depth and motion.

Say Cheese!

I Think we've all shared those unimpressed moments at one time or another haha

Northern Ont Diving board!

Challenging myself to add some sense of feeling to the art, and not just a fun pic. Something that was super fun and scary and exciting growing up for me. Wing assisted Cannon Balls! haha

Window Cleaner!

The window cleaner stopped by today! Talk about quality service with a smile! Or at least i was smiling haha

Black Market Numbers

I recently had a fun nostalgic moment when a really great friend passed me a link to a Sesame street youtube video. It was really funny, and really took me back to when I use to watch it after school growing up.

And with out a doubt theirs a bit of Sesame Street to this sketch. haha

Cold bird outside my window

Just a fun sketch between cleaning frames, needed a break! :D Always wanted to try merging a sketch with a photo, pretty fun actually.

My angle a bit off, i took the photo above my eye level, haha so sketching has a straight on feel but photo looking down a bit more then it should be, doh!

Work in progress

Rough ANM & Render Composite from Jon on Vimeo.

Rough Animation and a Rough first pass Composite, still so much to do, really feels to fast at the moment and story still not reading the way it should i feel.

But that's why I'm putting it up for In put, "Let Go, let grow!"

Abit of fun on the side

One of our test projects in maya today, just kept on tweaking it heh just fun to play with lighting and textures for abit.

At it's core this was a play on HDRI Enviroment Lighting and Final Gather. Was able to get the Render time pretty low I think, @1:50 a frame, the final Render took 5min with the higher sampling.

Most of these features will be used in my final I'll continue to play around with the finer details of the software tool to optimize it for a large animation roll out.
