I'm Not Like Those Pigs

It's been a while since I've posted BG's for my little animation short for Cerulean.  Yeah, I know...these are somewhat boring, but they are also pretty profound, which won't come across until production is complete.  But until then...here we go.  Oh, and if you want to figure out a little more about this piece that I am working on...the answer lies within each entry regarding the short.  Enjoy.

Enter Garuda

That's right.  Garuda makes the roster for this one.  I mean...it just seems right.  He is a demon that feeds off of negative energy and the like that is associated with the Satsui no Hadou.  He appears in the SF Ex installments but later disappears (you can read the story here:  http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/garuda.html).  I've always been a fan of Garuda and knew he was evil in many ways, but didn't really know his background all that well.  After doing some research, he will fit just fine in my personal installment for SF.  I mean...it makes sense right? Sean, the new Dark Hadou warrior capable of defeating Akuma and possibly being the strongest fighter out there with murderous intent.  It's like an invitation!  "Hey, I'm super evil bad awesome!!!  Let's mingle!!!"

Anyways, his outfit is still somewhat the same with some minor changes.  Mainly within the mask.  Other than that...I'm pleased.  Onward to more characters!!!

Sean Finalized

That's right folks!  I have finished my concept for Sean.  I'm pretty stoked about the outcome, are you?  Haha.  Well...I gave him scars, flared his hair out a little, beefed him up, hid his face behind a piece of cloth that's from Akuma's Gi, and ravaged his clothing.

More Sean!

Took some time out of my day to do a 30 minute concept sketch of Sean.  I'm figuring out his whole scar pattern at the moment, to which, I am please with this first pass.  I decided to chop his hair and have it flair out a little more, since he is going to be considered the "new Akuma" in this fan game.  I was thinking facial hair as well considering it takes place several years later, but I think I will figure that ditty out on the next pass.  Alrighty, time for cereal, cartoons, and bed.  Enjoy!

Street Fighter Fever

Still doing small designs here and there for my fan game of SF.  Not so Capcom here, but I took a previous character design and flipped him around a bit.  Really I just added a larger tattoo on his torso.  You know SF tends to have a lot of odd ball characters, right?  Well this guy is one of them.  Nothing further to report other than 3D goodness happening this weekend.  I'm sure I will have something to show during that time, if not at the start of the week.  Cheers!

Oh...I think I will get rid of the scales too. Now that I look at them...I'm not really feeling them.  Haha.

Here Comes A New Challenger!!!!

Hello all!!!  For the past couple of days...well maybe more than that, I have been itching to draw out some Street Fighter concepts for a Street Fighter game, that's if I was ever to be in such a position.  Anywho, I sat down for a few hours and threw out some designs.  I started off with Guile, who I decided to chop his hair completely off and give him more of a designer tank top.  Next, I said to myself, if I was ever to develop a roster for the next Street Fighter, I would definitely have Mel in there.  Up next would be Chun Li.  I would make her a bit older, which isn't all that noticeable in this sketch, and I would also give her a new outfit as well.  The scheme would still be blue, white, and yellow...just a different design pattern.  And finally, for this set, Sean.  He would have grown his dreads a little more and also would have become the next Dark Hadou character.  I was also thinking about putting scars on him too, but omitted them for this pass.  Yes, there is a story behind that, but I am too tired to tell it.  Haha.  Also, the next Street Fighter would take place about 10-15 years after the previous Street Fighter.  Okay, I am done and I think I have gotten the Street Fighter bug out of my system for the time being.  Enjoy!

Pushing Along...

The animation in this entry is actually my first crack at getting reacquainted with Maya.  I started it and then put it to the side, as I guess basic walk cycles bore me a bit.  I also didn't finish it fast enough before bed because I was still getting familiarized with the controls and such.  But alas, I decided to finish it up.  One this I do not like about IK Joe...well...the IK's don't work!  Argh!!!  Well...at least this version didn't.  Not sure what the deal was, so I had to do everything with the FK's, which was still fun.  Oh and yeah...no handles that allowed me to move those hips either!  But anywho...that's all I have...next up...RUN CYCLES!!!

Ack!!! Zombies!!! ...Or...ZOMBIE!!!

Hello, all.  More work with Maya.  This here really isn't a walk cycle, however, I wanted to play with the whole zombie thing.  This was fun.  I will have another walk cycle hopefully by tomorrow.  But until then...ENJOY!

It's the Month of May-a!!!

That's right folks!  I have obtained Maya...this now this blog will have a mixture of 2D and 3D!!!  Yay!  Hurrah!!!  And I will kick off this next post with a walk cycle I did with IK Jane.  I'm sure it can use some more tweaks to it, but I am satisfied with it at the moment.  Took about 2 hours to knock it out, so I am gonna work on becoming faster.  It's been a while since I messed around with Maya too...since college to be honest...and that was well over 5 years ago.  Anywho, hope you like...there will be more to come.  Oh, the animation (2D one) is still in the works...I'm almost done with the BG's.  Yes!!!
