Cold Desert


Winter is among us so it was time for a winter painting. It started off as a study of a "Horse Whisperer" screenshot and later developed into...this.
I really wanted to practise digital painting, just to try and add something to my portfolio.
Also, i've managed to do a recording of the painting process without having my computer dying. YAY!

Fox line test



A 30 sec animation line test i presented last week for my graduation film pitch. Also, my first "serious" animation i've done in TVPaint. I feel like i'm starting to get hold of it.

Mr Poe



So, i kind of wanted to get away from uni projects and went for something different. Also, a dear friend of mine helped me going through an awful situation once again, and despite how distant we are, she keeps demonstrating me she'll be always there for me. She loves Edgar Allan Poe's work, so this is for her. 
Thanks Sere!

Beware of the Kelpie!



I've presented a re-adaptation of the Scottish/Irish folktale, the Kelpie, as a possible idea for my graduation film. For people not familiar with it, the kelpie is a water spirit who shapes into a horse to attract his victims and drown them. It either invites naive people to ride him, or pretends to be a horse drowning. 
Apparently it's quite a popular choice as an animation idea, so I eventually had to go for something else.
These were some experiments for the animation style and the character designs.

Wolf and Boy


I miss these two and wish i had done something more with them. 
I absolutely love the copic marker tool in Sketchbook Pro!

Shetland Ponies!




Some sketches and concepts for a pony character. I wanted to present it as one of the ideas for my final major film.
