These are some character designs for my final animation project here at VanArts. Since it is in Flash, the more simplified characters are what will be in my animated short. I did the others for fun, and to show the different styles, and detail that I like and try to put in my art.

So Here is some more random sketches, I like real cowboys, and I like to come up with different sketches of cowboys, and here is a sketch done with tria markers. Then last night I want to do some sort of creature, and came up with this freaky looking Tusked Monkey.

I love lifedrawing, I feel that class has helped me improve my drawing skills a ton, yesterday we were supposed to have lifedrawing with a model, but for some reason we didn't have a model booked, so we decided to draw eachother, and these 4 are portraits of classmates. They are each ten minute poses, I think the likenesses are pretty good, I think the 3rd picture of the girl kind of looks like and elf.

a couple new characters, The Chesire Cat as a Vegas magician based on the white tigers, and Segfried and Roy. The other is Alice which is alot more realistic, and she's dressed in her wedding dress.

I am doing a concept art class here in Vancouver. Nick Tay one of the head art directors at EA games her in Vancouver is teaching the class. He is teaching us traditonal techniques that he uses to come up with his work. Well for our class we decided to redesign Alice in Wonderland. So my story that I came up with is that alice is a good Mormon girl, ( yes, I am from utah). On her wedding night dreams of this crazy place where people are trying to tell her that she is missing out on all this fun in the world. So my wonderland is going to based on a Las Vegas type place. So because of that, the characters are going to be Las Vegas stereotyped people. So this is the Mad Hatter as a pimp. A Very crazy pimp, as you can see.

Just some concept backgrounds from by concept art class. The one on the left is just some random place, I call it the land of the Rock People. The western town, is a town that I am basing my final animation project in.
