Dreamcatcher - New Mom Design

While developing the characters for "Dreamcatcher" I found that the 3 character designs for the Mom, baby and Medicine Woman were not compatible stylisticly. So I've had to make a few changes... Here is the new character design for the Mom... I'll be posting new colored baby and Medicine Woman designs shortly.

Dreamcatcher - backgrounds for animatic

Hi there! So in my last post I talked about how much I LOOOOVE creating backgrounds!!! Its so much fun! I love to explore environments with color and mood. "Dreamcatcher" is kind of a scary story. The fact that most of it takes place in the little boy's dreams, let me really have some fun!!! Some of these BG's are a little rough. Again, they are for my animatic...

Dreamcatcher -backgrounds and concept

Ive come to understand that I looooove doing backgrounds and am having tons of fun with the story in development.

In October, I was chosen to participate my work for a Dreamworks Visual Development Critique. Well the fact that "I" was chosen humbles me and I was honored to be a part of it. Kathy Altieri from DW critiqued my work and gave me a lot of good pointers. I have about a month from now to revise my work as I will be presenting it again in Spring. Here is the work that I presented...

Native Ojibwe Mother designs

Nightmare concept design for forest

These are still in progress and I'll post the revised pieces at a later date.

These first concept designs have been essential in the design process for this story. Since I started talking about how much I love backgrounds, I'll be posting the backgrounds I'm using in my animatic.

Dreamcatcher- Boy expressions

I am developing a story about a little Ojibwe boy who goes on an adventure in his dreams. I'll be posting more on this story later but for now here are my studies for the little boys poses and expressions. He's going to be going on quite an adventure so I really need to study and practice his movements.
