Time Flies

Image
For the last year I have been hard at work at my current job. I'm constantly around kids and while it may be fun at times, it is extremely exhausting! I do try and get some creativity out now and then but it has been difficult. I've found a joy in reading a chapter or two of a book before bed. While I have always been a reader, I have found myself reading more in the past year than ever before. A quick trip to the library after work has been quite the joy! Though I have mostly been into superhero/villain novels such as Victious. I haven't been completely still when it comes to creating. There has been a new short story page added to my blog!  I had a necklace and broach 3D printed from Persona 5 when I found that I couldn't easily craft it from scratch. I sculpted a cat and then adopted a cat not long after! I would say I wasn't too far off the mark with it's proportions as my cat VooDoo would show. Then there were a few sketches. I am still h

I've decided to update a few images in the 2D section. I've done a lot the past year and never thought to post it. Much of what I do is for my personal fun but then I look back at it and realize I should show that I'm producing more each day. I've been very active with quite a few projects that I don't know where to start and what to do each day. The curse of wanting to make a little of everything! I will be at RTX 2016! I am very excited for many reasons. I'm mainly hoping to meet a few people that I've worked with for the past year and a half. I also understand if they are busy with their own work and also play. I know I'll be running around like a hyper child! I'm also looking forward to possibly seeing the Game Grumps, Chilled Chaos, and various Rooster Teeth members wandering around. The internet has never felt so real! For now, I'm still working on Leet World animations. I created a new business card since my old one was just a basic la

Time Keeps Moving

My friend and I have been challenging each other to a daily drawing. Fifteen minutes to draw from a reference picture. Why just fifteen minutes? We both have busy lives and it is hard to come by extra time. Little by little we become better. I've filled a few sketchbooks and I see a lot of improvement! I'm still animating for The Leet World. We hit a road block and I had free time so I asked if I could help overcome it. We worked together and have a new system in place for the animators when it comes to blocking out a scene. Teamwork is a wonderful thing! The team is still going strong even with one of our members working at Rooster Teeth full time(So proud!). I see that I didn't post the newest public video of Leet World that I've worked on. A few fans have even made a few of my animations into gifs. I didn't know how happy that would make me. Which was extremely happy! So here it is:

Working, working!

It's been a while since I updated, but at least now I have some news. I've been working! Sort of. I have just finished a summer game related job and made some money. Now I'm diving right back into my main focus. I wasn't quite sure when the right time was to come out and say that I have been working on this project so I waited. Then finally a trailer was released. (A while ago, sorry) Yes, my ego overflows each time I see my name light up. I am proud of myself and my co-workers on what we've done so far. The teamwork I've experienced with these individuals is off the scales! I'm excited to be back at my desk animating after two weeks of being out of town working on other things in order to get The Leet World season 3 out to the waiting fans. Stay smooth! ~Sam

Holiday Greetings

Image
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! For gifts, I decided to draw my friend's characters. My friend Emily had a character from 2007 that she loved at the time. So I decided to give her a blast from the past. Then my friend Regine has a male character she recreates in every game we play. After a while we decided that if he had a personality, that it would be overly emotional and dramatic. So I present: Miaka and Escaton

Star Wars Character

I really had the urge to draw my character from Star Wars the Old Republic.

Return to Drawing

It's been a while since I sat down and actually drew something. Even though this isn't perfect, it was a fun quick sketch and it allowed me to study color and try out a few new techniques.
