Um... this is sort of a gallery of
photographs which I like enough to seperate from my other photographs.

Mother and daughter, happy. A
moment not seen in the film, for sure. I made a huge renderig of
this and printed a poster out as a thank you for the woman who plays
the voice roll of the mother- an actual professional actress from stage
and screen who shall remain nameless as I don't want the union wacking
her over the head for working for free. :o)

Another play and
5 costumes this time. Here are the two I liked the best The
play was the King Stag. We sort fo drew lots for style of
interpretation, and mine came up Scandinavian. These were all
sketched in pencil, scanned in, then colored entirely on the computer.
I don't have a pad input, so it's all mouse-done. It hurts
like the devil and I really should spring for a graphics tablet.
It may not look it, but each rendering took about 5 hours of
color time, and 3 hours to sketch. I do not consider myself a
by-hand artist at all- I'm way too slow and unskilled.

Two images of a set design a did for
Midsummer Night's dream- the classic student assignement when it comes
to design. I went for something simple and uncluttered; I prefer
empty stages anyway, but that wouldn't cut it for this. Anyway
the renders were done in Animation Master. I modelled things fast
and cheap- cutting every corner I know., since these models won't be
animated or even seen
from any other angle but a seat 40' back and 7' high from the stage.
Now can I get back to the Ravel: Ballet Pour Ma Fille project?

A series of costumes
developed for the play: "Good night Desdemona, good morning, Juliette."
This work
is a comedy, so the Juliette/Romeo costumes are a bit overdone-
especially
Romeo's. I did 8 costumes, 3 can be seen in here. While
they
may look painted, they are in fact painted in PSP7- I sketched out the
designs,
then scanned them in and painted in the computer. the paint
"blobs"
you may see on one or two of the images were simple ways for me to
reserve
colors to dip from when I needed the color back and ran out of custom
colors
in my palette. |

A poster for a
production
of Othello. Clearly inspired by movie posters- I wanted to break
the University's tradition of really cluttered, unfocused
designs. It worked.
Unfortunately the director had the office administrative assistant
create
a poster before the publicity class could put in their designs.
Why?
Uh... I dunno. I did everything for this, including photos.
This image is greatly reduced- the finished poster is a full one-sheet-
blow
anyone up to that size and either they're stars or "wanted." I
was
not offered to keep any of the prints... ingrates. :o(
Oh, the "tattoo" on
Othello's face was a simple decal on a 3D contoured object in Animation
Master composited to the photograph. Heh, the actor pictured was
Othello #2, and he
didn't make it either, it took a third actor before they got to keep
their
Othello. Gotta love the soap opera life of actors... :o)

Theo and Preston on
another magazine cover. This time along with Rat T. Race.
This is from a few years ago. Looks like I was managing shadows a
little better... |
|
A cover for
ComputerBits magazine. Again we see Theo and Preston up to...
something. |
|
My third cover for
ComputerBits magazine! I like this one best so far even though
the shadows are
way out of control, and after developing characters in AM for Ballet
pour
ma fille, these two look hopelessly blocky and chunky- still they seem
alive. I finished about 4 minutes of a short animation that they
star are in... but I'll probably NEVER let anyone outside my family see
the results! :o) |
