Jon Klassen Assignment


This week we had to make an illustration that in corporate textures. I took some photos around calarts of interesting textures and got this one from some paint streaks in the cubes. 


I got this texture online at cgtextures.com

And i made this texture by taking one of the bad poster prints from this week and rubbing it in the cigarette garden outside.

Life of pi: Richard Parker Head

Because I'm retaking Lisa Keene's VisDev class, I get to choose whatever project i want to work on in the class. I chose to do development for an animated version of Life of Pi. The story is about a boy who ends up stuck in a life raft with a bangle tiger in the middle of the pacific ocean. The tigers name is Richard Parker. I'm basing the style of the project on the illustrations of Charley Harper. So this is my first attempt at Richard Parker:

Here is an explanation of how I got to this idea:

Possible change

I was coming up with my character design for the modeling class and i liked her so much that i am now considering changing my film idea to be about her. I need to figure out what the story is but i think this big horned ape guy might have something to do with it.

Goat and Panther in the jungle


So I'm not in Dan Hansen's Layout class but I am going to try and do the assignments So i can build up portfolio work. Here is the first assignment. The prompt was a Panther or a goat in the jungle.

What I wish someone had told me before I came to Calarts

  • Get a coffee maker of some kind
  • For your first year don't worry about making a GREAT film. Just make a film.
  • Sketch
  • Make a portfolio, portfolio
  • Don't pull the "all-nighter" just to pull the "all-nighter"
  • Schedule in Breaks
  • Take an english 101 class
  • To get anything done with administration you need to ask more than three times.
