I Am Not Dead

No no, certainly not. Feeling like death perhaps, but certainly not dead. My month-long hiatus from this blog is slowly but surely coming to a end. After nearly 30 days of sniffling and wheezing, I believe new sketches, renders, and even a new layout are in order. Until then, stay tuned!

It's Gonna Be Fun

EDIT: I should probably let y'all know, I'll be on hiatus until the beginning of the new year. Taking a bit of a break to collect all the work I've been producing in the past month and a half and get it up to a level worth showing. I'd like this blog to become more professional (looking) for 2010.

This Friday I'll be heading over to Fisher Price in the good ol' Big Apple. Something along the lines of a vendor fair and I'll be at Ideology's booth administering a Maya demo! Should be a fun experience....if I'm awake for it. The 5:45 a.m. train ride out of Providence to New York City probably won't have me firing on all cylinders.
I originally intended to get started on a sweet looking Rodney model, but it was decided a licensed character would be the better choice. :'(

Let Me Show Ya Somethin'

I'm very happy with how this piece came out. There's a very good chance a full layout design as well as a 3D model will be in the works for the glove gadget.

A lot of the time, I sketch out a drawing traditionally with pencil and paper, then when it's time for final line work and color, it's scanned and rendered digitally. This piece is no acception. The sketchbook I've currently been working in is around 6.5" by 10" give or take a bit. I usually use the digital equivalent to a #2 pencil in the program I use, and I really like how weighted the line is.

Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy sketching digitally, too. My previous post with the warm up sketch was totally digital. My traditional sketches are never that clean, unfortunately :P. Hope you all enjoy!

Music Pa-Pa-Power

Hey all. These past few weeks have been incredibly busy for me. My apologies for the lack of updates. BUT GOOD NEWS! Lot's and lot's of updates to come within the next few days....including this one!


8O!!!!

Yes yes, contain your excitement. Here's a fun warm up sketch to get you all in the Halloween mood. Dennis over and out.

Been Working...

Yes...I have. And quite a lot at that.

Sketching has been at the top of my priority list for some time now. That new sketchbook I mentioned some posts back is filling up as quickly as the seasons are changing. Lots of new work to scan in, ink, and render. Oooo I can't wait!

I saw 9 recently. It felt like a breath of fresh air for animated film making. Visually stunning, the story was very nicely done, perfect. A nice break from the hokey Pixar and Disney films. Although it seems like more and more animated films are getting darker. I thought the same when I saw Coraline a while back. Not that I'm complaining. To be quite honest I'd love it if more animated films were geared towards an older, more adult audience. Tastefully, mind you.


God help us all if someone decides to remake Fritz the Cat.........::shudder::...

Yo Batter Up!

Quick sketch of the day:

Surprised it's not some sort of whacked out fuzzy critter? Yea, I am too.
