Cupcakes!

For my final year short animation I’m creating at Uni, I’m doing a story about a cupcake who is left behind in the oven. Follow the main character on Facebook, he has his own profile!! Click here to follow him!

It’s going to be a mix of 2D animation for the main cupcake character and 3D background elements.
Here are some early concept poses of Paddy:

Gang O Kids

For one of my Uni subjects, we worked in large studio type groups to create a mock concept game related to a book written by Hazel Edwards. Our idea was a 2D platform game based on the book Gang O Kids, and two of us re-designed the characters from the book to suit the art style of the game. These are 2 of the characters that I worked on.











Anger animation

Animation exercise for uni using their character rig to show anger while at a bus stop.
It needs more polish especially where he steps before he kicks the sign. I tried to do a bit too much with it.

Old Stuff

Recently updated my computer, so have been cleaning up the old one, going through some old stuff…

Chef

Early animation exercise at uni for the principles of animation.

Trick for Treat

Early Uni animation assignment created in Flash. I’d like to get back to one day as it’s really only half done and requires a fair bit of polish. I also need to go back and fix up the colours and a couple of bits in the animation where he goes off model, and there’s a bit where he stops in between poses which is a bit jarring.

He was going to drop the coin under the machine, then levitate it and a bunch of other stuff.
