Character concept: Spookmark

A character design/idea I thought of last night and had to (sloppily) doodle in paint. Really I am more proud of the idea and design rather than worried about picture quality, haha.

Spookmark: It's a cat-like bookmark ghost. Not so much a ghost of any living thing, but more of a apparition resulting from the bookmarked place held in someone's book, unfinished, before they died. It is always searching for the spirit of it's reader to finish the book. It only speaks in unfinished sentences. Very friendly, but don't entrust it to get something finished!
(I say "it" because it has no gender, being a ghost of an idea/situation/object)

Site Update and concept doodles

New illustration added to the Gallery section of the website!

Also, here's a random doodlepage I did, with concepts for the mole character, Sheriff Sharp-Star. I got a nice design for him pretty quickly, so there was only minor changes before his final design. His mole gun, however, took a lot more work.

Site Update: New art!

Added another illustration to the gallery section! Go look! http://www.awgosh.com

Nicolai Model Sheet #2

Updated and colored reference sheet for Nicolai. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my own character model! But some growing is always an inevitability, which can be a good thing! There are definitely some differences from the old one.

Site Update: New comic page, new art

A new comic page has been added, along with a new art! Check em out.

Animation assignment: Walk cycle

(PLEASE CLICK TO VIEW ANIMATION)
Pencil test for a walk cycle animation for class. It's just a simple cycle of 10 framed based on a template we were given, and were to draw our own character over it. I decided on Mr. Dentson for some reason. There are lots of errors, but it's the first pencil test I scanned in. The belly spot line needs to be fixed on frame 1 to 2, and other things, but I thought I would show off since it took a while to scan at home.

Storyboard assignment, interactive animation

A storyboard for an "Interactive user interface" for class. We're making a character with an idle animation that changes when a button is pushed, then returns to idle.

I wanted to make something disgustingly cute, because that is how I roll. Hopefully I'll be able to do all three buttons! I might have to reduce it to two if there's not enough time.
