''ANY DREAM WILL DO!!




animation clean-up

Three different characters from the film JOSEPH: KING OF DREAMS, namely Joseph and his parents. All from the same scene (basically Joseph approaches his father who hands him a roll of parchment...

(Never fear, we will jump into some more cartooney goodness very soon!)

DESIGNING SOME ARISTOCRATS, part 3

character design

Yet again another design for an austrian memeber of society from the PRINCESS SISSY series...Working with historicaql reference is always interesting, and it's not often one gets to draw realistically in television series. A great change-of-pace...

''THREE THE HARD WAY''...

character design

yet another character model page, this one for the afro-topped kung fu butt kicker in my film...the original design had him with a much more modest hairdo, but given the time period (early 70'S) it almost seemed criminal not to give him this most distinctive of hairdos...

If you've been thirsting for some coloured drawings, I should be able to indulge in a few weeks as soon as official colour jpegs are completed and approved for this film...

DESIGNING SOME ARISTOCRATS, part 2


character design

I've been going through some things in my storage for the last few days, trying to gather up some older drawings to help fill out this dandy little blog.

''SCHOOL DAYS...''

production layout

I seem to have a lot more character drawing on this blog than anything else (only natural since most of my assignments over the years tended more in that direction), but once in a while I would take a job where I would have to draw BOTH characters and backgrounds...

Above pictured is a production BG from a series called THE KIDS FROM ROOM 402 (animation ciné-groupe). From most of my postings on this blog, one would tend to think I always draw very realistic characters, but the opposite is actually true, as 90% of the series with my name in their credits tend to be pretty cartooney-looking...

A little exercise in deep perspective, I'll try to find some more to post...

for an added bonus, here is the opening sequence from KIDS FROM ROOM 402:
