Howzit.
Just...um... signed up a few days ago and before now have been to shy-intimidated-busy-tired-unsure to do anything but look. You see, I've been a year-and-some graduated from a very prestigious animation school and am still strugglin' to find my Way (the usual time-money-location-connections tragicomedy)
so I thought I'd try putting a couple of things up.
Because I could really, really use any sort of feedback/commentary as to what could be done with/to it. :confused:

[helicopterr]

come on say it! We all know where you came from!!

[Aleph66]

...
...Huh?
You appear to have me at an advantage. I think.

[Aleph66]

Here are a couple of more things. One's a study for a character from Paul MacAuley's 'Confluence' series.
The other one's just an ostrich.

[fiddlestickTOTHEMAX]

I can't really offer much in the realm of constructive criticism... but those are beautiful... especially the first two.

[Aleph66]

Thanks. Really, thanks.
I've seen your animations. Good, trippy stuff. Some of them (esp the LSD and Suit series) remind me of the work that's on presstube.com's 'site.
Only, you know, with actual plots :D

[Aleph66]

Here are four more...

...One's a sphinx, one's a bee and, for the Holiday, two bunnies, because bunnies are cute.

From a distance.

You would be a good illustrator.

[Aleph66]

Thanks, Greenlik.
It has been an idea/probability I've been pursuing. Rabidly.
But (there's always a "but" in these things) what I really wanna do is somehow incorporate the fine-artsy-collage-stuff into animation, something along the lines of "Twice Upon a Time." Still hasn't been anything like it since (and, no, I don't think South Park counts. ;) ) Only from what I've seen, nobody's really hiring for stuff like that, :( leaving ol' A-66 to do it... indie-style.
Well, enough of the bitter old fogey bit...
...Here's three more.

[Aleph66]

Here's a gryphon...

[Sang Froid]

wow, you realy have a very fresh style. I defently prefer the finished pics to teh sketches. BUt it's all great .

[Aleph66]

Thank. Really, thanks.

I suppose the point of these posts is to demonstrate abilities and, of course, interests. My interests seem to be more...fine arts oriented (like William Kentridge, I guess). A "testing to the limitations of the equipment" sort of thing. I'll stop; this is getting a mite too deep.

Here's some more stuff....

[Aleph66]

...and that was the color of our program.

Here's some line work...

[Aleph66]

...You know that stuff I wrote about doing stuff along the lines of "Twice Upon a Time?" Well, a while ago I...uh, actually went and did it. For my demo reel. And here some of the stills...

[Aleph66]

Here's two more.

Enjoy(?)

[jchap 03]

You've got a very unique style. I've really enjoyed checking your work out. Can't wait to see what you post in the future. Nice job!

[Aleph66]

Thanks, jchap!
I've turned lime-grenn with envy at your stuff; so that's really heady praise... :D

Here're 5 more (one of 'em's not like the other...)

[Aleph66]

...and, yet, more stuff...

The bugs were for an "ad."

[Aleph66]

...and ,then, these two...

[Aleph66]

...and here're three more sketches..

...I should really do this more often.

[phacker]

You have a really Zen sensibility...and I honestly mean that. You tend to simplify things where they need the simplicity. Nice work.

(Ridiculously) belated thank-you's all around for those of you out there in animator-land who posted, or had the morbid curiousity to go waaa-ay back to the distant past to view this stuff. I'd say I was going through a Great Emotional/Spritual/Personal Crisis, and was unable to make with the drawing and the sketching....

Truth is, I'm just lazy. :o

I do stuff, but have no real compulsion about slappin' it up right away.

Anymore.

ann-yway, here are a few things.

In time, God willin' and the creek don't rise, there'll be more.

Probably.

You have been warned.

[Aleph66]

Two more...

[Aleph66]

...yet two more.
