Abandon Ship!

Captain Nemo's ship is under attack, but she doesn't sweat under pressure.

Captain Nemo Project

I wanted to try making a female captain Nemo. The story for this captain Nemo was that she joined the national British military in India under the guise of a man, until she started her own renegade submarine crew thus leading to Nemo's hatred for mankind. I wanted her to still have a masculine presence, hence the faux-beard and mannish proportions. I was inspired by Xerxes from 300. Wasn't really received too well, haha.

The Death of Charles Dickens

We had a bizarre assignment in BFA involving a random historical figure and the news of the mysterious creature mentioned in 20000 leagues. I got Charles Dickens. My interpretation was that he would see the creature as some sort of ghost ship.

BFA video

So for our graduating class in Fall2011, we had to do a video introducing ourselves to the class. I don't really like to talk about myself, so instead I did a video about a random, purposefully and painfully specific topic. For some reason, my friends thought it introduced me perfectly.

other Bye Bye Bruce stuff

Another thing about Bye-Bye bruce's story is that it was about loneliness and coping with boredom. The "pets" are kept stored away in little cages, and each one had a different theme. The main character lived in an asian styled room, so throughout production we dubbed him "the asian".

I did some preliminary artwork regarding the character.

I also did some artwork for a poster and a chinese screen that shows up in the film.

Bye Bye Bruce Backgrounds

During the 2011 summer break I worked on an independent animated short with some friends that was called "the naked guy" project for the longest time. It's about a world where humans are pets for aliens. I got to design the bathroom, a place where many of us go to contemplate our goals in life. In Bye-Bye-Bruce (the final name) our main character does not have such a luxury.

Here are the final backgrounds to go into the movie. I liked painting the little soap bubbles. Credit to Corwin Herse-Woo and Annlyn Huang for the final paint overs.
