Obscure Star Wars fan art

Here are two of my favourite star wars characters! Muftak and his adopted daughter Kabe.
Complete with Aurebesh writing.

Character Portrait

I've been playing a pen and paper RPG (WFRP 2nd Ed.) game with some close friends for almost 3 years now, the other week my character from the beginning died. We have never lost a player character before, granted he sacrificed his life in madness to act out the orders of a rogue brain damaged general and destroyed an levelled an entire industrial district with a lot of dynamite.

So, I just rolled up a new character, all using random dice rolls and a really intricate background and personality generator. So here is Pedlar Gordler the naive Seer.

Boatmurdered SHEESH

So we have gotten all of the organisational stuff out of the way for boatmurdered. We've been annoyingly busy with graduation and then Christmas! But I'm personally going to dive in at a comfortable pace this week.
To warm up I was going to draw up a new wallpaper, here is the rough composition.

Dorkly Diablo Animaiton

Here is a freelance project I recently finished for Dorkly.com
I worked with two other uni friends Troy and Tom.

Was fun!

Cool Animation Dump

Still doing my shading, I'm taking it easy post the frantic crunch.
Here are some great animations worth sharing!
Zoologic, an old favourite of mine!


My friend Sharnee just put me onto this one:

Sébastien Tellier - Look from Record Makers on Vimeo.

AND Tom Ward threw this one at me, amaaazing. Be sure to watch full screen.

Les chiens isolés from CRCR on Vimeo.

And Tom and I are starting to ramp up Boatmurdered again! WOO!

Film Submitted

So my film the wedding is all submitted for the screening and I'm practically on holidays now. But it aaaaaint over. I'm now shading the film, something that I didn't get time to, it's going pretty quick, I did 3 scenes in like half a day so that's cool.
I could probably finish it off tomorrow if I work hard. I also inbetweened a tiny bit more and am going to redo my credits and tweak some other things.

OH and I'm now looking into film festivals I can submit to.

Film FINISHED and Demo Reel

Hooray! My film the Wedding has been completed, now I need to sit on it and work out what I can do with it regarding film festivals and the like.
We have to present our work and demo reels and stuff immediately after finishing it, so here is a kinda goofy demo reel I busted together in a semi delirious sleep deprived state. It cracks me up so I'm happy!

the wedding post pro

Here is two post comp tests. I think I will go for a mix of the two, as the second is a bit too digital for me, I don't think I will use the Depth of Field either.

The Wedding Colouring progress

colouring colouring colouring.
I have been working like literally non stop from 10am-3am for 3 days in a row now. I've never worked so hard on something, it's great! I've been home alone for 3 weeks now too so I've gone a little weird, but I'm having so much fun. It's frantic to get this thing finished.
Here is a quick test for my colouring! I'm a bit more than half way through the colouring now thank god. Then it's comp city. I want to do a shading pass, but we will see if I have the time and how quick it will be.

The Wedding Colouring

Ok, I'm prepping to colour my animation in TVPaint.
I only just then finalized my character colour palettes. Here they are!

I was playing around with using the "official" Griffith University red, but it's a bit too light and weak.
YOU HEARD ME GRIFFITH.

The Wedding CLEANS DONE

OH BOY! Huge milestone today. I finished all the animation! Cleans dooone. It took forever jeesus, haha. I've basically been working non stop for 2 weeks now, like from the moment I wake up till sleep.

Now it's time to try implementing the music and start my colouring tomorrow. Only 12 days till the film needs to be completed so it's absolute non stop work madness at the moment. I hope I can finish the colouring by in 4-5 days. God I hope so.

Here is a commemorative drawing of all of our uni films, done by my boy Cameron.

The Wedding Update

I am almost finished my cleans, it's been an intense clean journey I will tell you what.
Then I'm onto colouring.
My musician vanished which totally sucks, but luckily I managed to get onto a fantastic French musician who I think will be much better than my original one!
Sound stuff is also going ahead and I had a skype meeting with my radical sound guy Dan Brumm.
Here is a sample image I had to produce for a EPK (electronic press kit).

 The final coulouring style will probably be a bit different, as I'm using TV paint to do it.
This was coloured in Photoshop
