Been a while since I made a blog post and I can’t quite post the stuff I’ve been working on professionally, BUT! I have some works that I did almost a year ago when I started at FXVille. My art test was my first foray into the Unreal engine, so my boss trained me up […]

Lots of people believe that Walt Disney’s Snow White was the first feature-length animated film. Well it wasn’t. That  distinction belongs to Charlotte “Lotte” Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926). It was technically a stop-motion film using beautiful, ornate silhouettes. So, I wanted to pay a little tribute to her: Dig the hair style, […]

So here it is! The final piece – There’s a lot that I added and changed for this last draft. I added some asymmetry with the big plume of smoke, I added big mesh chunks of barrel that break apart (it happens really quickly, sorry if you missed it!), I added an additional fire element […]

A couple of years ago (holy cow, YEARS??) I made this: It was based on one of my favorite works of art by Toulouse Lautrec: I decided a while ago that I would do another homage based on the same piece, but a different month. This time, though, I did a bit more research and […]

For this piece, I used the God and Goddess Vishnu and Lakshmi as reference for the pose as well as flower imagery. The spider itself is based on the Venusta Orchard spider – and as terrified as I am of spiders – this one is really pretty!

Finally finished this little piece I started like a year ago. Lot’s of fun!  

Here’s the Avengers Iron Man Vignette (At the end, you’ll see some little screens that I went ALL OUT on):   Here’s a close up of just those props, viewed form the front: In .gif form! And in image form: Bonus! Squadder details: I amuse myself, at least.
