Desert Penguin CG Animation

Here's my most recent character animation. It was an acting piece with lip sync. Quite exciting. Took me about four hours total with small distractions (darn that internet)...but I've never animation a piece like this before, so I'm sure I'll get faster. I'm content with it, but I think the right hand moves too much and I wanted to play off a subtle body opposed to a crazy-all over the place- body full of arcs and jumping about. I did the animation, everything in the background, and the crappy quick-fix lighting. The models/rigs were provided.

Barnstorming Adventures Models

Here are all the fanciful works-in-progress for the "Barnstorming Adventures" project that the team is producing.

First we have Tailspin Tommy, he's the hero of the story.
































































































































Next we have "Cash Register" Kate. She's sort of the sidekick to Tommy and they have this little "thing" that is never said aloud. This is a WIP of Kate, I plan on revamping the paints so her face doesn't look so ugly.






Next up is Simon Cawker. He's our villain although Tommy was in-cahoots with him long ago...Cawker is unfortunately not on model and he's not painted yet either. The first image is his body, the second is a preliminary style sheet and the third is a final style sheet with some WIP blend shapes for emotion on his face:


Lastly, we have a police officer. He's only going to be in frame for a couple seconds, but I think he's the best of the bunch, although Tommy's a close second.
That's all for now on Barnstorming Adventures. I'm going to upload the fresh models with fresh textures (mainly Kate and of course the unfinished Cawker) when I have them for you.
