Aw, bucket!

So, I'm taking my first stab at a RenderMan shader for our new movie. We had a big push tonight; we took models that had already been done and put shaders on them. My good friend Carson helped me out a ton on this one.

X-ing Concept Art

Disclaimer: I did NOT do the original drawing for this painting, Jessica Borutski did. Giving credit where credit is due!

So this semester, I'm taking a digital painting class from Sam Nielson, and it's awesome. He's awesome, have you seen his blog? He makes it look so easy . . . The first project he had us do was to pick one of a few line drawings he had from some very talented artists and render it out in 3D, and then mess with the color/saturation. I would like to come back to this later, but this is what I have right now.

Last one

Another painting I did for work. Not my fave.
Not a big fan of the painting, either.

Go for it Mr. Peterson, YES!

Demo Reel Remix

I've updated my demo reel, slowing down some of the rotations that previously were a little fast, and adding a few things from the senior film we're working on and also a few scenes I helped animate on BYU's Lion & the Mouse.
