Turnip Man

This character was created as a test after a job interview. I was given some designs and had to create a turnip man. I redesigned the character, modelled, textured and animated him in a simple idle animation. This took about a day to do.

Platform Joe

This is a work in progress human movement test for myself. IK_Joe is gonna run across a classic platform game level, overcoming the obstacles. This is the first obstacle he faces.

More to come.

The Other pushing a box.

A short bit of animation showing the Other character from my film Morp! pushing and lifting a heavy box.

Word City

This was a quick, rough test I did based on a brief of a city being built out of words. A man would have been talking and you would have been able to see what he was saying amongst the buildings. I chose 'come with us now on a journey through time and space'. Never got to the space bit. Total build time 3 hrs.

MORP!

Right, first things first. I made a short animated film during my final year at Uni called 'Morp?'. If you want to watch the film then go to http://www.morpthefilm.co.uk. It's a 4 min film about two characters who aren't going to get along, and there's a creepy tree too. Let me know what you think.

Introduction

Hello. This is a blog about me and the work that I am working on at the moment. I have recently graduated from university having completed a degree in Animation and am currently looking for a career in the games industry. So this is a blog to chronicle the new work I'm doing to improve my showreel and as an experiment to see how the internet can help me improve my work.

This is mostly going to be pictures and links to videos with very limited waffle.

Feedback is encouraged and welcomed.

Thanks.
