New job.

I recently moved to Los Angeles with my girlfriend to both find jobs in the animation industry.  Not only did we both find one only a month after moving to LA... but now we both work for at John K. Enterprises, for none other than John Kricfalusi!!! :D 

He initially was looking for technical help.... well he got that and more! Cuz now Sarah is doing Ink and Paint for him and working as his Photoshop assistant (creating brushes and other fancy things). I am working as his technical administrator basically.  I manage his servers and networks as well as other odd jobs like editing animatics and soundclips and other geeky stuff that I love doing! When I'm not doing random technical jobs he has me experiment with some of his ideas in CG.

Here's a quick sample of what he's been having me do in CG.

(Beginning stages of George Liqour's car)

That's all for now.  Once I render more stuff I'll put up more pictures of cool stuff :D

Environment Reel (First Pass)

Here is the first pass of my reel for the position of CG Modeling.  While it is primarily for Environment/Hard Surface Modeling, it still demonstrates my Character Modeling abilities.

 

Here's a link to my Vimeo as a back up.

Demo Reel

The Couch Rig

Over the summer of 2010 I modeled a character to practice rigging on. The rig will be what I use to animate for my animation reel, if I ever decide that I want to end up making that.

This is a still of the Robo_Rig_v1.0 as I've titled it.

After I started rigging him I decided I wanted to have him jump onto a couch on a sequence in the robot's apartment. To make the couch squash and stretch and move in the cartoony way I wanted, I decided to rig a simple couch I modeled. I went a little extreme with its emotional range. But I suppose an expressive rig is a good thing, haha. Even if its a couch. Well anyway, here it is:
