Short Films and Designs

Space OCs I enjoy learning about astronomy and space telescopes, and I'm also inspired by how characters from Mega Man can have simple but effective designs. So I decided to try combining these themes by turning a few NASA and ESA telescopes into characters. Below is a gallery of character designs I have so far which includes a short profile of each character and the concept behind their designs.

  Link In December 2020, Monstercat hosted an art contest and invited fans to come up with an artwork that best represents the label, the community and the spirit of the New Year. The winner gets to have their artwork featured as the label's first post of 2021 among other prizes. Although I've taken part in art contests in the past, this is the first contest I joined from Monstercat. I spent a few days brainstorming ideas and decided to have something involving a more 'impressionistic' background that represents various aspects of the Monstercat fanbase The original idea had a globe behind the mascots to represent fans around the world but it ended up looking like an Earth Day drawing so I changed it to something that involves lasers to represent online concerts. I also experimented a lot with the colours before settling for mostly pink and blue. All in all, it was a fun contest and I'm surprised and happy to have won. 

This is the motion graphics done for Pixel Terror and Pals Vol. 8 This is the first time I did motion graphics on an art work that wasn't originally mine or collaborated with. The original art was done by Bentley himself. Process log: When I received the file, I cleaned up the layers to smaller ones. Most of the layers for text are already separated so it's easy for me to work with. The hardest part were the characters. I wanted them to be animated so I had to add my own separation to them.     Here is Bentley's character. The one on the left is the original. The right one shows one of his bangs cut off; the process is repeated for the other parts of his hair. I filled the missing areas while following the design as best as I could. I also cut out his arm and added the rest of the guitar details. Ahrya was the hardest as a large portion of him is covered by the drums. I filled out the rest as best as I can and made sure the line art was as even as

On 1 November 2019, Pixel Terror released their first EP. Together with my friend, we created the art and video for each of the songs. The art and motion graphic for Gun Metal by Pixel Terror . -21 August 2019- Here is the original art. This time it's a lot more action-based than previous Pixel Terror fan art. Trivia: Did you know this was originally going to be fan art before it was turned official? The motion graphic. Unlike my previous looping animations, it consist of four different cuts; therefore I don't have to worry about the front and end frames. I focus more on animating the characters and making the camera and composition more dynamic. Art process log: This is the final sketch. I already had a composition in mind so it was easy to draft it out. The hardest part was getting Bentley and Ahrya to stand out from the robot, so I added smoke to frame them. The characters look a bit off but it's fine at this stage. The line art. The one b

The first concepts I did for my personal project: The Black Crow. It is also the first time I did world building and concepts digitally. It's nice to be able to design the environment for a change.
