Octopus

Octopi. I've always had a fascination with them. they're like hybrid of an underwater flower and a deadly spider... well, if spiders had prehensile arms, that is. anywho, i was watching some video reference of octopi again, and im just always confounded by the way they move...so creepy, and yet... attractive

Cycles!

some walk cycles done with a rig built by my good man, Tovo Andriamampionona.
his lovely work with dynamic feathers simply makes me look good....

24 hours...you bastard!

These are character tests for a film I've been working on. even though there is no dialogue in the film, I found that using them in a dialogue test provided a unique opportunity to take these characters out of context. working this way allowed me to expand more on their personalities, as well as explore construction and new possibilities with such an unconventional character.
