"Dog Daze" Title Card



Another design for the title cards of the episode. I am pretty happy with this one, and will most likely use it.



EDIT: I have uploaded the final title card in order to provide a better comparison.

Grumpy Gary in Dog Daze: Planning

This image is a rough sketch of how the title card may look. The title "Dog Daze" is one that may change at a later point.


















This is a rough sketch for the background of Gary's living room, where the episode will begin.


This sketch is for the establishing shot of Gary's house.














This sketch is of Gary, looking in a fairly bad condition. I may or may not use this in the episode. If I choose to use this shot, I will probably tone it down a little as it is quite graphic.





Grumpy Gary in Come Fly with Me




I created this 2D animation  created for my final project at university. I enjoyed working with this character very much, leading me to the decision to create more animations with Gary.


The animation took around 12 weeks to complete, although this time was also taken up by other modules within the course. However, after leaving university, I am finally able to focus more upon creating cartoons that I enjoy and that I'm passionate about.

Gary & Freddy Character Sheets.


These character sheets are for two characters created for my recent animation, entitled "Come Fly with Me." I tried to keep these characters as simple as I possibly could, in order to make the animation process easier.

Stills From "Dream a Dream"


These stills have been taken from the animation entitled "Dream a Dream" which I created for a character animation module at university. I will upload the completed animation to the blog soon.

Character Designs: Freddy the Fly










These are several of the designs that I came up with when creating the final look for the "Freddy the Fly" character. I eventually decided to settle on the third design because I feel the colours are the most pleasing on the eye. I also chose this design over the first design with a traditional mouth because I think it makes the character appear more fly like.

The Treasure of the Temple



This is the final animation for "The Treasure of the Temple", my final third year project at university. Overall, I feel the animation is good overall, though I wish there had been more animation in the cartoon.




This is the final design of the temple guardian featured in the animation.

This design was influenced heavily by the anime style of characters, particularly villains such as "Majin Buu" from the "Dragonball Z" series.

This particular design took a few hours to finalize and I really enjoyed working on the character because villains, particularly in this style, are my favorite to design.
