I'm back! (With some beginner animated goodies!)

Hey.

I understand it's been a while since my last few posts, but I was gone for a good reason. Recently, I've been studying animation in college, and it's consumed most of my time. Seeing as I have a three week vacation, however, I might as well post two animation assignments I have here for your enjoyment. ;P

This was our final assignment in my animation course: a jump cycle in which we could animate the model in anyway we choose. I understand there's no texture and very poor lighting in this video, but I hope the animation is good enough to see.

This was one other assignment: a walk cycle, featuring a spherical robot with two legs (I call him Derby.:P) walking continuously for 8 seconds.

These animations were done in Autodesk Maya 2013. Even though I still have a lot to learn about animation, I still feel proud of these creations. Shoot me some feedback; even negative ones. =P I'd like to know what you think.

See ya around,
Adam.

Fan Art: For Scott Pilgrim(?) And Spiderman

Hey.

A while back, I wanted to sketch my own Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman (which would be the guy hanging next to our favourite webhead.) His name is Vincent Chen. He's an 18 year old Chinese bassist from Toronto, part of a band made up of his friends; Tori O' Loughlin, Travis Connors, Tiffany Miyagi, and Marcus Stone. They're called Crash Course to The Top, and though they just play at parties hosted by their school's rampant jocks and punks, they never disappoint at a show.

One night at a show, Vince meets a girl who he thought was beautiful. Her name is Katrina, and while he was playing with his band, Katrina's mystical pet spider (who just so happens to be disguising as a scrunchy in Katrina's hair) bites Vince at the back of his neck, giving him spider powers. After the show, and a visitation to a supernatural world called The Afterlife Nexus, Vince learns that Katrina is to marry one of the five Lords of the AN, as ordered by her mother, Queen Riel. With no say into her own situation, she proposes that if she could find a champion to fight on her behalf, she would not have to marry any of the five non-human lords of the AN, if her champion could defeat the five lords all together. Is Vince capable of facing this challenge? You know, I have no idea. :P

Originally, this fan-made character was supposed to be a fan boy's tribute to Spiderman and Scott Pilgrim in some ways. Vince does have similar powers to Peter Parker, but with some similarities and differences; Vince studies Chemistry at Seneca College, Toronto, and like Parker, he is a genius. He uses his vast knowledge of chemicals to compose different types of webbing, including impact webbing, combustible webbing, etc. However, despite using web shooters for his vast array of different webbing, Vince, unlike Peter, can shoot organic webbing from his wrists, at the cost of feeling arthritis like pain in the wrists if over used. & yes, his spidey costume looks like a shinobi outfit at the torso, but that was my idea anyway. His gloves also have brass knuckles for an added pain factor to his punches.

That's all I got for now.

-See ya,

Adam "WildCard" Olaez.
