Sketchbook scans from the maya sketchbook...

Earlyer in the year here is a design of Reaps front angle in a T pose from my sketch book. I wasnt sure If I would rule out building this character bone by bone and the eye designed seperately and placed in the socket for its own animation.

Reaps back view and possible christmas hat sketch in T pose.

Reap side view. I havnt ruled out using this character for my end of year submission but it is an old idea... which led me to.....

Mummy girl! which changed and warped into the marquette posted elsewhare on this blog. here she has a flower as part of her design which helps with her design which wasnt included on the concept marquette so I began thinking... what else could she have to feminise her apart from eye lashes as she is a walking corpse... the flower would be all wrinkled and unapealing so perhaps a scarab beatle broach on one side of her head...? she is a strong character and I may work this design into a maya character for my main maya character this year....

Christmas designs and concept ideas of Reap who has no christmas tree so these are concept images of her with a corpse made to look like a scarecrow which is all lit up with light bulbs and christmas lights to help with the christmas spirit... its pretty Burtonesque but I like it and its vibe. I didnt get chance to turn it into a Maya character but I havnt ruled it out as a future project.

a three part sketch of the basic christmas scarecrow intro as use as an aid for story board.

here is my idea of making the skull and an exaple arm that would need to be modelled in maya as every indervidual bone....theory and concept.

here is a rough story picture layout of Reap at the general store collecting items into her basket. It shows her childlike random nature and the scale difference of her and the shopping trolly...

Two one pannel commic ideas; 1 of Reap shoppingin the super market (see last image) and 2 Reap at the beach wearing her bay watch swimming costume going surfing for the first time

drawing of an alt premise for the supermarket as she scares a security guard by hiding behind the shopping trollyand pretending it moves by itself.

Batman character idea i drew inspires by the computer game Arkham origins.... cant use this idea as it is not my own original creation.

Reap, the grim Reaper and Audry the receptionist as characters. I wish there was time to animate them this year but I need to ballance my other projects and focus on one character.

before I understood how to screen capture (shift, cmd +3 on a Mac) I thought I would try to be clever and write down the alt Maya menu that you get when you hold space bar to try to remember some of Mayas contents.

Random note page from a sketch book. Its pretty fascinating learning the difference between Nurbs and Pollygons. Had no real idea what any of this meant before this course.
