S4 League - Bomb Nightmare

This work was inspired by a online shooter game that i play most of the time. It's called S4 League and it's a Korean MMORPG. It's got numerous weapons and one of the new ones it has is this bomb (not sure what it's called) but it just hangs out then explodes after awhile taking out allies and enemies alike. It also has a new map called Pandora...or at least I think it's either that or Nightmare. But the combination of these new weapons and my new attraction to lighting in my pieces really inspired me to do this one. Granted these designs belong to Pentavision.

Assignment 2 - Bouncing Ball

Since I like 2D animation I decided to approach this assignment the long way of drawing all the frames on paper and taking a picture of them then putting them on the computer and putting them through photoshop to keep them aligned and movie maker to make it into a video. Even though this seems like the simplest way to do this, I feel that 2D art instead of 3D in maya gives me more control over the subject. I don't personally have anything against 3D, I still have trouble with making the animation as smooth as I feel I can do with 2D. I also decided to try and do two animations, one (which is above was a basket ball) and the one below which reacts more like a bowling ball.

Also wanted to share my animation of Tim which was a practice animation doing frame manually with a light table. Just a bouncing ball with a tail to give him more personality and whatnot.

Shuffle Diamonds

The 2nd character that is involved with my game project. She goes by the codename of Diamonds and uses katars. She falls under the class of CARDS which will be explained later as i upload more of these. For now, as I work on pieces, (complete ones not the reference sheets), I plan to focus on lighting and more detailed backgrounds.

Shuffle Hearts

My most recent picture that I finished which involved a character who goes by the codename of Hearts in a sort of shuffle mercenary group. Done in PaintTool SAI. Very proud of this since I rarely can do background in pictures.
