Walk cycle

This hogan kicks butts!

This last week, we started messing around with Hogan, a famous free rig for Maya.
On Monday, we started by doing some poses (I actually think of posting them), next 2 days we did a weight shift, which didn't turn that great (and it's not that interesting to show anyways...), and the last 2 days, we did a swing - kick (something) excercise. So, here it is:

Been doing lately...

This week, we've been experimenting with a flour sack rig. Been fun!

These are what i came up with. First, there is a (kind of) skip, then there is a jump, and last, a soldier, getting pointed with a gun!:

Luxo Jr. is scared

The latest assignment from the school. Jump, stop, take, with the famous lamp:

Summer was nice

So, a new school year has started, and we are practicing 3d animation with Maya. This first week was all about...balls!! Tennis balls, beach balls, balls everywhere!!!
Summer has been pretty intense btw...had a hard time leaving Greece and sun.

So here are some of the projects. Can you guess what kind of balls are there at the second video?

Fairies etc.

A friend of mine asked me to draw a fairy as a decoration for a website. Not my usual, everyday drawing theme. Actually, it's my first time drawing a fairy.

I enjoyed making her, tho:

Caricatures

Returned back to caricatures after a long time. From my old schoolmates:

First year exam

Character design for Escape

As i promised before, this is the character i designed for the Escape short film project. 

He's a split personality, a writer originally, who's closed to a mental institution, after a severe breakdown he experienced. The reason for that was that he was driving drunk with his family, and they had a crash. Everybody died except from him, and he feels responsible for the death of his family members.

Roger says hello

Last week has been fun with the very talented french directors from La Poudrière! I wish we had more time to work with them. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to post the flash animations we did for them.


This week is self-study until tomorrow. This means we have to create our semester showreel and maybe go back to previous assignments to correct them. I've been working on one. There would be still a million things to correct in this one, but i will call it finished here.

Roger is waiting for his blind date:
