Fall chick with a wash

Threw in a wash of color...that I don't know if I like all that much. Might go back and change it up. Here it is for now.

Daily sketch 10/29/14

Over the past couple weeks, I've been accumulating a bunch of PSD's on my desktop of just random, incomplete sketches. I'm going to start finishing them, cleaning them up, and posting them here if for no other reason than to just clean up my desktop.

This one was me playing with a new ink brush in Photoshop. Wanted to get some thick-and-thin going. The rough is next to it for fun.

Work in progress.

Been working hard over the past few weeks on a new short that has been on-and-off-again since June. Making the push to get it done this week. Here's a snippet of one of the characters...don't worry her screen left hand is on another layer :)

Ghost Family

I recently completed another short for Mother Goose Club Playhouse called "Ghost Family". As usual I was in charge of storyboard, all animation, comp, and edit. I was also able to design the Ghost Family themselves which was a fun challenge. I wanted them to have an iconic look that bordered on being creepy but still kid-friendly. It was also fun building these characters with Harmony in mind to achieve their ghostly effect. Despite the fact that they are maybe only made up of four main shapes, their rig is somewhat circuitous! Its possible there was an easier way to achieve the desired look, but I am happy with the final look.

This version has a sing-along that follows the short that I did not do. Enjoy with the little ones!
