Character Design nightmare

This week's character design assignment was another 2 character sheets, one with a character that is entirely angular and asymmetrical but appealing, and another character, symmetrical and made entirely of organic rounded lines, but unappealing.

My angular character was 'almost there' and my organic character got it. Hooray!
I'm not going to post my angular character thumbnail but if you need to see it (you don't) it's here.


Combined tarantula, scorpion, crab, and venus flytrap + nasty boobs/eggs on crotch to get a horrible nightmare crab mom effect.

Animation!

My animation is all at my youtube page, but I'll embed some for the sake of having it here:

This video is also linked at a few blogs which amazes me:

Line Boil

Occasional Manatee

GeekSexy

And some other youtube stuff I have created:



(I told Genndy Tartakovsky to look this up on youtube when he visited RISD, am I a big nerd, or the biggest nerd?)

Character Design this week

This week's assignment was to design two characters that represent a trait that you admire in others and a trait that you don't. Some guidelines were flat color, animation-friendly (simple), and meaning through form rather than acting or props. I chose 'perceptive' and 'violent'.
