Last Doodles of 2015

I’m not dead!!! 😉

The last couple of years have been pretty busy, so unfortunately I haven’t been able to post much. It’s hard to believe that 2015 has come and gone already.

These years are slipping by faster than a greased up seal on a banana peal.

(Bask in the warm glow of my corny writing.)

In an effort not to let 2015 go without a fight, I did some quick doodles on an envelope before midnight.

A New Year, Another Tomorrow

Greetings friends. 2014 is upon us and good things are on the horizon. One of which is a new animated short known as “Another Tomorrow.”

Another_Tomorrow

Written and directed by Antonio Aquilino Medina, Another Tomorrow is a dark comedy with a splash of horror. It’s a story that aims to tingle your spine while tickling your funny bone! The tale is as follows…

Every month a village must make a terrible choice.  To ensure their safety, it randomly chooses one of its own to appease the insatiable hunger of a monster.  When a child refuses to be the latest sacrifice, it threatens the future of the entire village. 

As a member of the production team, I’ll be providing character art and 2D animation. One of characters I’ll be handling is this little guy. “Darius the Ghost.”

With a trailer currently in the works, you’ll soon be able to help this project  grow on Kickstarter!  For more info, check out the website here.

Return of the Living Concept

Bruiser_Zombie

This character’s a relic from a proposed side-scroller that never got off the ground (three, or so years ago).  His development never got past the sketch stage, but I always wanted revisit him. No matter how many years go by, I never forget about unfinished work, or ideas that weren’t carried through to the end. I resurrected this particular concept all in vector.

For kicks, I rendered out a “Night if the Living Dead” version.

Global Game Jam 2013

Marking my second participation in a “Game Jam” session, Empty Jar Productions collaborated with Products for Robots to create the 2D Action-RPG, Geometry Saga.  It won best game going on to compete in Mozilla’s Game On Competition.

Geometry Saga is an episodic series chronicling two warring factions: Vibrance the color nation of  heart and Pale the monochrome nation of logic. In the first session, “War of Heart” the Pale nation seeks to overtake Vibrance and seize the power source known as “The Heart”

The gameplay featured in the trailer gives a peek at one of the playable “Vibrance” characters. As development continues, I’ll be providing sprite animation for even more!

Background Development

Where is the exit?!!

I started experimenting with a scrolling background. I imagine the end product to be a forest scene with light beaming down on the character through some trees. Right now, I’ve just got some “guide blocks”in place.

The more I look at this, the more it kind of looks like he’s walking down a wallpapered hallway (with an narrow, open door).

A new year for new animation.

flip_walk_cycle

To kick the new year off right, I’ve got some fresh squeezed animation.

I first created this character in college, but wasn’t terribly satisfied with his walk cycle at the time.  I decided give it another go, but to make things more interesting, (and for my own amusement hehe) I went the pixel route.

There’s a little more I want to do with it, but this is the gist.
