2D Characters


These characters will appear on the television.

Latest Animatic



Still in progress.

Some Renders



Just a couple renders that show, more or less, what the finished product will look like. Currently blocking out animations and preparing any missing models that are essential for animation.

Before and After



Here we have a side by side comparison of the original Grandma model and the current version. I'm not sure which is creepier but the new one definitely looks funnier and much truer to the original concept.

Practical math: COMEDY(AGGRESSION+FATNESS) = BETTER COMEDY

Her rigging is nearing completion. What's left is creating the facial GUI and a whole mess of painting weights. Here are some disembodied heads that will serve as blend shapes for expressions and lip syncing dialogue. Hope you find them upsetting.

Alien Spaceship - 360 degree view



Jumping around a bit. Returned Grandma to the back burner and applied texture and light effects to the alien's spaceship. It has a nice robotic meatball quality. Seeing my original sketches starting to come to life in this way is very exciting.

Gaze into the Face of Fear

Progress on my second attempt at the old lady. Way happier with this than the first version. Everyone I've shown her to has been horrified, which makes the whole effort worth while.

Grandma 2.0


The first Grandma model I created was a little lackluster, so I'm starting over from scratch. The model is still in a very rough form, still pushing and pulling those first few rows of verts, getting things flowing right. I promise the skirt won't be sheer in the final version.
