Skin.

The image below reflects the corrections I made based on the suggestions of other artists in the FB group for Schoolism. I added more light to the clavicle and shoulder and more shadow to the eyelids.

Schoolism Fundamentals of Light Lesson 5

This was a very good exercise on fur and hair. I went over some things I knew and learned a lot of good tips. I watched a lot of episodes of the Walking Dead as I was painting this hahaha. I was hoping some of the suspense would translate into it. 

Schoolism Fundamentals of Light Lesson 4

This lesson was all about reflections and how light behaves in different mediums.

Schoolism Fundamentals of Light Lesson 3

Studying how reflections behave.

Schoolism Fundamentals of Light Lesson 2

I found this lesson very refreshing and full of good tips. I also learned two additional lessons not included in the video. First, backup important files before deleting whole gigs of information from the hard drive. Second, repeating an entire assignment can really help with learning the concepts in a more comprehensive manner.

Schoolism Fundamentals of Light Lesson 1

I came across these words the other day and they felt just right.

“There are as many worlds as there are kinds of days, and as an opal changes its colors and its fire to match the nature of a day, so do I.” ― John Steinbeck

Neon Sign Animation

These are a few videos I created from a Jake Bartlett's class, Animation with Light. The first video has sound and it is the traditional neon version of the project.

No sound version.

3D Version.

Some experimenting too.

I wanted to put all the figures in one single image to define sizes and also to just see them all together. I am glad to have improved on the skills I needed to create these walk cycles. Much more to learn too!

Wikus Walk Cycle 5 of 5

This is the final walk cycle in the series!! This definitely helped me improve on my skills as well as pointing out what I need to get better and refine. This is one of my favorite movies so it was very pleasant to work on all the walk cycles.

Wikus Walk Cycle 4 of 5

By far my favorite walk cycle to work on so far. Sooooooo many pieces to connect and keep in place. So many hours went into this one but I learned a lot. It has been interesting to go through the same process of creating a walk cycle and realize the differences and nuances that come up with each one. EXOSUIT!!!!!

BONUS VERSION!!!

Wikus Walk Cycle 3 of 5

Wikus goes on the attack using alien weaponry!!! ZZZZAAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!

For the sake of continuity I am adding the same format as the previous posts! I think I like the horizontal view way better for this one. It displays the electric zap more clearly.

Wikus Walk Cycle 2 of 5

Wikus runs away from MNU!

Wikus Van De Merwe. Walk Cycles!

This is the first animated walk cycle I am doing as part of a series. I am polishing my ability to create fluid and compelling graphics and what better way to do it than by illustrating and animating one of my favorite characters of all time, Wikus from District 9!
