Swordmaster the Hobbit

My roleplaying character, Belkar. Or, how he is dreaming of being, the little hobbit!
Tried to be a bit more saturated with the colours than I usually am. (But as I can see from my home computer, the saturation depends more on your screen than my choice of colors when I made the picture!)

Escape of the Wormbot!

Since the beginning of 2011, my class and the CGA class had been working in pairs of two to create a scene with a four legged creature of our own design. I was fortunate enough to be in group with Dennis Jensen - we go back all the way to the drawing academy. We designed the creature together. It should be something quite unique, so rather than going with a robot or organic creature, or have the legs placed under it, we did a mutated worm with robot legs placed ontop of it.
The poor thing was used in cruel experiments focused on creating a robot fuelled by the gasses of a mutated worm - but it escaped before they could finish it! Now, on a quest to find the worm family it was brutally taken from, it must journey... etc etc.

Dennis spend some weeks modelling, rigging and texturing the thing, and while I animated it, he created the background and finally all the light and render stuff.

Some Drawings

Here, some drawings from last half of 2010, primary from my sketchbook. I grew a bit tired of repeating the same style last summer, so I've been trying to draw some different.

This last one is a scene from our roleplay group. I post it in a rather unfinished state, because mistake after mistake with the inking took the motivation to finish it away.

Action!.. Shot

Its a dangarous thing - being a 3d model in my hands.

January Animation with Scenery and Lights

This was a though one, struggled alot with the program itself. It could be a rather frustrating experience, but what didn't I learn - and in the end: with great guidance from our teacher Michael Berenstein I finally got the animation back on track in the very last days. And well, it ended up okay!
Besides two weeks for animation, we've also been given time to compose and build the scene, add details and color to the rig (norman in my case) and finally put light on everything.

Trailer Project

Ever since the start of this semester our neighbor class "Computer Graphic Artist" has been working on the TRAILER PROJECT! Divided into seven groups, they've each gotten an old movie which they then have had to make a trailer of, with new design. In week 47 and 48 my class was then supposed to animate the their trailers, based on their animatics using their rigged models.
The CGA trailer I animated on, was based on the western "High Noon" now set in a caveman-like ancient evironment. Furthermore our trailer was a combination of 2d and 3d animation. I was in group with the CGA's Tommy, Tanja and Simon and Caroline, Carmen and Keld from my class.
Like the CGA's had divided roles, we should also choose a animation supervisor in our group. We divided it so that Caroline took care of all the paperwork and schedules, while I supervised the practical animation, which was alot of fun :) We also had Alex Williams as a general supervisor for the whole class.
I animated the following shots:


Everything was then colored, and the CGA's spend week 49 rendering everything. The final trailer looks like this:

I think the sum of all parts really came together in the end, I'm very happy about the done trailer :)
The other six trailers also turned out quite well. Take a stroll around on my classmates blogs and you'll see.

Daisy "Galloping"

Animation from week 44 when we had Sydney Padua (you can see her work here: http://sydneypadua.com/) teaching us four legged cycles. I choose to make a "galloping" cow. The way they run makes me wonder whether they're actually made for running after the way we've been breeding them for centuries.
