Drawing in 3D


An experiment in MS Paint. An experiment I would call a success. The first time I've ever drawn a three-dimensional picture. I've taken 3D photographs and I've converted 2D images to 3D, but drawing in 3D is something else. I wonder where I could take this...

You'll need red/cyan glasses for this, of course.

D'ARK Explosion

Some 2D effects animation I did for an undergraduate film. The environment here it only a temporary render for layout purposes, it's not the look of the final film. No sound effects or camera shake were added for this render, but will be added in the final composite of the film.

Gravity Shift


I was watching Inception while doing some work this afternoon and felt like experimenting with some photos. I wouldn't mind doing something like this one a more ambitious scale, maybe doing a whole set. Just to see how much I can do without any rigs or post trickery. Getting the angle of the camera would do a lot to help, however I fear the lighting is always going to make it hard for the mind to accept as being real.

What I really like is the depth of space. A few weeks ago I was realising that even a small room seems dangerous big if it was turned on its side. Just a few steps across a room could turn into a dangerous fall.

Cast

Stand-ins/references for animated characters in my current live action/animation crossover film. Certainly is fun to draw this big after drawing so many small comic panels. It's also nice to see the result matches the small drawings quite well.
