Wolf Digital Painting

A painting I did in Adobe Photoshop, taking two hours. I was inspired by coursemates' digital work and after the success animating a quadruped I thought I'd give Photoshop a proper try. This was done referencing a photograph of a wolf in the same pose.

University Work Blog

    I've recently started a new university module that I haven't fully planned out what I'm going to do for yet.
The module is a bit scary... we haven't been set anything to do. I'm basically just going to use the time to practise and experiment with animation, and also develop my flash skills. I'll be keeping a Blog of my progress so that my tutors can follow what I'm up to, but you might as well too if you have time and are interested!

[You may notice a slightly different colour scheme on the other site, this is both to really separate my developmental work from my showcase work sites... and for a little giggle.]

Using Inverse Kinematics in Flash


I decided to practise a more 'Cut Out' style of Flash, so after watching a few tutorials
on how to create the Inverse Kinematics Armature I created these very quickly
just to try. I'm not obsessed with dragons, this was just the first thing I drew
as it was just the movement I was interested in testing at this point.

Dragon Picture

I'm currently working on my CV, this image is a part of it but since it turned out
quite well as a stand alone piece I thought I'd post it just to let people
see what I'm getting up to at the moment.
