Bumpers and Maquettes?!?!

I mentioned that I had been working on a few different things, one of which being a new bumper for my demo reel and the other a maquette of Richard, the necromancer from the webcomic Looking For Group.

Here's the bumper, pretty happy with how it came out and satisfied to call it done!


I started with basing it off of the PlayStation "It Only Does Everything" campaign; at first, it was coming off as just a straight rip-off and that just doesn't work. So changing a few things, making the color scheme resemble my business cards/blog, different audio track, and I think I've made it my own.

Next up is the Richard maquette. It looks like LFG is hosting a type of contest where competitors are crafting, drawing, sculpting, carving, etc. their own version of Richard for some unknown prize. The pose is from this page, last panel. I'm not so dead set on winning as I am just wanting to get back into more traditional media a bit; it seems like it's been far too long since I've done something that hasn't been on the computer. I'm really enjoying the process so far and am very thankful that I had Sam Ellis to give my Pre-Production class a crash course in building armatures and maquettes.

Bare wire and wood base

A little bit of aluminum foil...

Some sculpey for the wall section...

Starting on Richard!!


I believe that's all I really have to say for now; two posts in two days...what's next?!?!
