Merry Christmas to all and to all a good Shite

Well here it is... my 2011 Christmas card

Enjoy

2011 X mas card concepts

Well its that time of year again, and here are a few rough concepts for this years Christmas card.
It has become a bit of a tradition for me, and this is the 3rd year I've been making one, I almost didn't end up making one, but decided yesterday that I should keep the tradition going.

This is the version I decided to go with, I'll post the final coloured one tomorrow 

2011 Animation Showreel

Larry Boyd Teaser Trailer

So here's a little sneak peak of my film 'Larry Boyd'.
I can't put the full film online yet coz I'm entering it into a few film festivals, and they have this rule that if its online already they won't except it into the festival.

go check out the Larry Boyd production blog for more stuff on the film 

If the video doesn't work then go here:  http://vimeo.com/31473763

Screen Shots from Larry Boyd

So I've just completed my short animated film 'Larry Boyd' as part of my final year studying animation. I presented it the other day in front of an audience of fellow students and a panel of industry insiders, who from what I could tell found it hilarious..... which is sort of what I was going for.

Girl Golfer Final Colour

Ok so here's the final colour version of the girl golfer for the charity golf day

Girl Golfer concept design

Here's the rough design of the girl golfer for the golf day website.

I wanted to keep it stylistically similar to the male golfers design, but without the big nose and all.

Golf Day Design #2

Well here's the second design for the charity golf day.

It looks like they'll be using one of these designs on t-shirts, but they'd like a lady golfer also.
I'll post the concept sketch of the girl golfer tomorrow.

Golf Day Final Design

Well here's the final colour design.

I think I'll be doing a couple more so I'll post them when their done

Charity Golf Day Designs

These are some rough designs I made for a Cystic Fibrosis Charity Golf Day website.

I'll chuck up the final colour designs when their done.

 I've used a similar character design on some previous sketches, and after doing a few concept sketches this design re appeared, and was the perfect style for what they were going for.

Man gets revenge on Larry and Joe

This is a sketch I did a few weeks ago while animating for my short film Larry Boyd, which is currently around 80 percent animated.

This scene however is not part of the film, it was just a mindless scribble on my animation notes, which I then coloured today for a laugh.

Sexy Stormtrooper

I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so here's both

Cowabunga!
