Quick bg test

A quick test with the character, in wide screen this time.

Background test

Trying out some more advanced backgrounds for the movie, taking inspiration from John Bauer but trying to add more color into it. This one look good but I think I need something more stylized to go better with the character's style.

Peasant walk sketch

Ye olde peasant.

Animatic preview

Storyboard

A few images from the storyboard. Animatic coming soon!

Some extra hands: guards, peasants, warriors, merchants, etc.

VIKINGS - Yngve

The Jarl's son: Intelligent, popular, but spoiled by his father and power hungry.

VIKINGS - Brittvor

The Jarl's wife, Brittvor.
Not sure if she's going to stay this way, we'll see.
When it's not 6 am I'll decide again heh.

Jarl Toke Halfhand

Character design for Jarl Toke Halfhand.
The design of his clothes isn't completely decided yet,
hence the differences between the three images.

An aging warrior, crippled during a fight with a bear, whose fur he sits on.
He's a fervent follower of Odin and the way of the spear.

Toke

Been away and sick for a bit, but here's the next character wip: Jarl toke Halvhand.

Character designs

Finally decided on the final look for this. :D

Harald color!

Took a bit longer than I wanted, but here it is. :)

Animation test WIP

Currently correcting and cleaning. Hopefully done with it tomorrow.

sketches

A few of tonight's sketches.
I think I'm finally getting close to what style I want.

Bergsjätte

Giants and vikings. Still working on fleshing out the story and the
trying out stuff.

Blue

Still trying to find the right style for the viking project.

Red vs blue

More WIP: Had so much fun with the first wrestler I had to make
him a sparring partner!

Norse wrestling

Wip colors for the Norse wrestler. :)

GET ready to RRRRRRUUUUUUMMMBLLLLLLLEEEEEE!

Continuing on the viking project, here are today's sketches.
I was trying to think up some berserker warriors, but they ended up looking more
like a bunch of wrestlers....well the vikings had wrestling too so I
guess it isn't too far off heh.

Trolltyg

Today's sketching, nordic trolls and giants. :)

Blue boys

Trying out another style for the viking story.

Rota WIP paint

Got rid of the fur and hair planes and modeled the hair instead.
Added some very fast paint in Mudbox to place everything before painting in Photoshop.

Viking people

Some more viking character sketches.

Rota wip 3

Progress so far, no textures yet.
Changed the hair and fur to polygons, it looks good but it's still way too many,
have to reduce the number.

Rota WIP 2

Trying out the hair and fur modifier for the jacket.

The last beer

Warmup sketch for today

More viking stuff

A quick character sheet for my viking lass, I'm making her in 3d at the moment. :)

WIP

2d!!!!

Having spent all of my final year learning 3d, I haven't done any traditional animation for over a year and a half....so here's a little sketchy cycle:
Shieldmaiden Rota is in for a fight!

The head is a a bit too jerky, but I'm pretty happy with the rest of the movement, it's been a while since I did this after all.

SCHOOL'S OUT FOREVER!

Sorry for the late post!

I'm done with school, finally have my diploma...now to rest a bit and do something else while looking for a job.


Here's the final trailer for the game! It's not completely finished, but that's how far I got with it all by myself. Enjoy!


TREASURE ISLAND trailer

And more!

A shot of the ship herself. :)

BUGGRIT!

Here it is, finally! A fully textured scene! :D
Deadline is approaching fast and I'm rushing to complete all the animation for the trailer.
In the meantime here is a preview!
(Ignore the floating objects I didn't have time to do another render and I'm dead tired. I will correct it later. =P )

Treasure Island - Jim

I've shown off Long John a lot, so it might be time I introduce you more to the main character of the story...after all he's supposed to be the hero! But then I've always preferred the villain characters in the Disney movies.....

In any case, here are some sketches of Jim Hawkins!

And....
I don't have anything finished to show yet unfortunately, but here is the current build of the main character. It's by NO means complete, I still have to work on the clothes, shoes, head, face, texture...well, everything really.
But I wanted to show something so here you are! :)

Only two months left til deadline....Let's see how far I can make this go!

Alice

Today's exercise: What did Alice (in Wonderland)  turn out like once she was grown up?

Turns out she got married, started writing, and her books about wonderland were a smash hit!
..But then her husband got smashed/hit by a rampaging circus elephant, and now she can't write any
more, so she resorts to heroin to get back to wonderland.....Poor Alice. :(

Character design - part 2

More updates on the pirate game project!

Those of you well versed in pirate lore might have guessed already, but there aren't that many one-legged pirates walking around without a wooden leg.
.....come on, you know which one I'm talking about?

That's right, ol' Long John himself!
Long John, Black dog, Old pew.....you others catching up yet?


In any case, it's my pleasure to present the crew of the Hispanola!
Can you name them? ;)

I'm currently in the process of skinning and animating the characters for the trailer,
so expect some 3d screenshots soon.

Also, no finished images, but here are some more color concepts.

Character design

Some more sketches from my Pirate game project. :)

This is from early development when I was trying to find a nice style for the characters.
I finally settled on a semi-cartoonish look with with heavy brushstrokes for the colors.

Yo ho ho! - Teaser

Production on my final year project at School is kicking in, and I'm really exited about it. :D

So here's a little teaser for all of you! It's not a finished image, but I busted up my hand doing this today, so you'll get to see the final result later.

I'm also working on a new website, but since I have to work on my project at the same time it's going slow. Hopefully I'll have something workable in a couple of months...
