Still loads od small and also bigger issues to fix, but I just started my polish&portfolio term (last term at Am - unbelievable!), so there is still some time to fix those things. I also include some of my moodboards, thumbnails and character development poses. Hope you...

Here it is- my most recent AM assignment. It's the first acting shot and they asked for a character that is based on something you know, so as I've been tired ever since I started studying at Animation Mentor while working fulltime, I thought this might be a good topic to choose.Next week I'm going to be at...

It's week five of this term at Animation Mentor and I finally finished the first part of my Astronaut theme. I still find something wrong every time I watch it, but it's time to move on and start working on the blocking for the next one. The speedpainting took me about 30 minutes to do, but for the...

Here we go- my blocking as well as the first pass of the splined version of my astronaut assignment. I'm afraid I lost his cocky attitude a bit when I started splining, not quite sure how I'll get it back at the moment, but maybe my mentor has a tip :)Let me know what you think, any suggestions...

He there, I hope you all had a nice, relaxed and joyful Christmas together with your most beloved ones. I definitely had. No animation, no sketching, no computer- just sleeping long, spending time with family, friends and nature and eating ;) But I have to admit that while doing all that, I already started thinking about my next...

....stays in Vegas! That's how the saying goes, so I can't really tell you anything about my trip there, can I?!? ;) Just as much: I went there on a business trip and it was huge, amazing and crazy- an exaggeration of real life in which it is somehow related to animation. I spent 6 days there and...

He did character designs for Disney (Tarzan, Mulan, Brother Baer, Treasure Planet,...), worked on Who Framed Roger Rabbit (the movie that played a huge part in me...

Hey all, thanks a lot for all the encouraging comments! Highly appreciated they are. Last week I've been working on Tailor, another Animation Mentor character, trying to improve my overlap animation and also to tell a little story. There are loads of things to improve, and I also exceeded the given frame range, but actually I'm not too...
