50 Days, 50 Bots!

Robots! 50 of 'em! The goings-on over at my A BOT A DAY tumblr, for the last 50 days. So far it has been a fun exercise. Most take around 30-45mins.

Vitaly Zerzov - Costume Concept

Early costume concept for SteamCon III. The theme is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. A group of friends are going as a treasure seeking submarine crew. The Merry Mischief is the working ship title.

Meet Science Officer Vitaly Zerzov.

Ill-fated (mysterious) circumstances as a youth led to his left arm mutating into a tentacle. This disfigurement drives his interest in glorious science! Ever searching for a way to reverse the mutation. In the process he has stumbled onto several scientific advances that aid his fellow crew members in their treasure recovering pursuits.

I hope to design a tentacle arm that can be controlled with a series of pulleys and bicycle brake cable. Fun!

Cel-ebrating The Holidays

This year I made animation cels for some friends. The first one is a frame out of the first episode in the Fleischer Superman series. The second is based on a Bruce Tim rendering, with a Batman: The Animated Series background (tried mirroring their process, drawing on black paper) and the third is a frame from the pilot of (the greatest cartoon ever) Scottish Ninjas, a production I am part of (the series is actually all CG). www.scottishninjas.com

Some process shots.
