Just a little fan art piece of probably one of the best video games of all time, Team Fortress 2. If you haven't guessed from the links to the "Meet the Team" videos, I'm a big fan.
So, after a month's worth of rent and seven weeks I've come up with this. I'm pretty happy with the results and I have to say I did learn a bunch, both about animating to music and just animating. With both its all planning. Sorry about the 30 seconds of credits, the next thing I need to learn is Premiere. To see it bigger go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NufHNIb4NM
Real quick color-job for this fun dwarf sketch. Lotsa viking influence in there obviously. My summer animation class only has a week to go, so new animation's on its way!
Man, I hated it when in 1994 a runaway planet hurdled between the moon and earth and destroyed the world as we knew it. Wait.... Man, they had crazy ideas in the 80's and one that I've recently discovered and fallen in love with is that of Thundarr the Barbarian. He's a barbarian...in the future! Cool stuff.
Hey everybody. With the start of summer also brings the horrible boredom that comes with it. However, this year I have vowed to stay busy and productive. Of course there's work and this year to keep me busy I signed up for an Animating to Music course at the school taught by the always delightful Mark Mayerson. Its already proving challenging as music is complicated and something I haven't had experience with since 8th grade. So we'll see how it goes. I'm excited still because if it does work, animation to music is always a treat. Here's the character I'll be working with and for those of you who are curious I'm using a piece of a jazz tune called "Django" by the Modern Jazz Quartet.
Whoo! The semester is finished and the grades are in. Its a weird feeling, not having another wave of stuff to do but I'm sure I'll grow to enjoy it soon enough. So, without further adieu, these are my last second year animations and my final layout assignment.
My name is Johnny (or John if you're my mother) and I hope to become an animator and hopefully that shows in my work. I go to school at Sheridan College and I'm in the BAA Animation program there. I don't know who actually reads this thing but please tell me what you think or stop me in the halls if you go to Sheridan too. Im the red head with the pencil behind his ear. Also, I'd like to get into commision work so if you like my stuff drop me a line at ToonPirate@hotmail.com.
