Aerrow Kneel

Lineart of Aerrow, a sky knight and leader of the Storm Hawks.

Storm Hawks is a Canadian CG animated show from Nerd Corps. It aired in the US on Cartoon Network.

Drawing based on how Aerrow is perched on Dark Ace's wing in episode 4 before the phoenix appears. I think the specific. Outfit done with help from ref sheets of the character to know what goes where.

Photoshop & Illustrator CS 5.1
Enjoy!

Aerrow smiling

Heard of Storm Hawks? It's a Canadian 3D animated show by Nerd Corps. Anyway, this is the main protagonist from the show, Aerrow. See it larger here.
I really like the show, and lots of what Nerd Corps does. Canada :)

Trixie Sting

 

Trixie Sting from Slugterra. So Slugterra is this awesome animation done by Nerd Corps Entertainment in Canada (also made Storm Hawks and Dragon Booster). Trixie is the fierce woman in the Shane Gang. She fights for justice, is loyal to leader Eli Shane to a fault, and always gets the shot.

I really like this show. It's colourful, the writing is good (not great, but good), the animation is awesome, and the plot has been developing and the characters deepening over the 2 seasons so far. I really hope the show doesn't get dropped by Disney XD. I love it too much!

Nerd Corps, if you read this I want you to know I love your work!

Drawing done in Photoshop CS 5.1 As usual, see it larger here.

DJ Fresh - Talkbox animation

Had more or less an artistic vision with this song and this is the result.
Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects

I enjoy the song but do not own it, nor did I create it. Talkbox by DJ Fresh.

Dubstep Face

Came to mind from listening to Piano Tune VIP by Bar 9. The parts where the bass drops I suppose is where I see this face come in.
Drawn in various layers in Photoshop. Imported as a comp in AE. Animated the pieces, added the effects I needed, then exported the video. Converted the video to stills, chopped up the animation, rendered the 'remix', open the video in Photoshop. Saved for web as a looping gif. Hopefully the animation creeps you out slightly. Maybe, maybe not I guess :)

Super Sailor Venus

Mina! Looking cute as usual.
Mina is one of those people who's prettier than she gives herself credit for. Once she's transformed she gets more self confidence. It's nice to see her become more comfortable with herself throughout the series as well (like Lita).
Here's the original sketch I did:

A Small Collection of Awesomeness

I haven't ever posted stuff created by other people on here, but I came across Rosa today and had seen some other cool stuff, so I felt I had to share it. Basically Rosa was the last straw that made me feel like I had to tell the world! So in the spirit of appreciating, recognizing, and sharing amazing stuff, please check out the works below:
Rosa
Rosamovie.com
Made by ONLY Jesús Orellana in ONE YEAR!
So not only is it amazing in itself, but to be done by just one person in such a short amount of time, I felt I had to recognize this piece.

Next up is the opening for Exaella.
Interesting fusion of Russian and Japanese talents.

I also want to mention Sintel.
The reason this short film is important is that it was made using Blender, a free piece of 3D modeling software. Lots of people think 3D is time consuming and expensive and unreachable by the common man. Sintel is great just because it says otherwise. Yes, animation of any kind is time consuming, but programs like Blender make it so anyone with a computer and dedication that want to animate can animate. *As a side note, if you're a traditional 2D animator like me, Pencil is a free 2D animation software. If you've heard of Digicel or Toon Boom Animate, then you'll be able to figure out Pencil.
The last work I'm going to point out for now is African Tales.
This is an animated film composed of a collection of... African tales! (What a suprise)
The animation is not the best, and it seems it has been a while since this group has been active, but I really really enjoyed the character design and the choice to do a more cell shaded approach in the film. You can check out the cool character in the TransTales shop at their website: http://transtales.com/

If you liked this stuff, let me know. Maybe I'll post more of other people's work in the future.
