Lighting environments

My first shot at lighting black & white environments from scratch.  It was actually pretty fun after I got over the initial terror. :)
 And the "rough" final, settled on the night scene.

Iron Giant themed speed paint

A speed paint from my ACN class last night, Iron Giant themed!  Funny story about me and this movie,  I remember being about 11 years old going over to my grandparents home for a night (parents taking a break).  Back then all I had was Cartoon Network and my gameboy to save me from boredom.  It just so happened that night Cartoon Network had decided to marathon Iron Giant for 24 hours straight. These days I try not to remember how many times I watched it in a row....Regardless, that doesn't damper how much I really love this movie. :)

So anyway, 10-15 minutes, inspired by the movies climax!

More CC work

Here's another collection of work from my time at Cypress Community College.  Unintentionally these all represent some of my favorite work in different mediums.  Cheers!
