"Penguin's Christmas"

I don't really have a drawing for you guys. Instead, I'll share a short film I found years ago. It became one of my all time favorite holiday-themed animations. The theme music and minimalist art style are infectious, and I hope you like it. This is "Penguin's Christmas", produced by Animation Works.

Happy Holidays.

More layouts...with pizazz







I wanted to spice up the presentation for my layout final. This semester has been...the word, "nightmare", is such a strong word. So I'll need a stronger one...

Remember kids: friends don't let friends take 2+ six-hour classes in the same schedule. The more you know.

Anyway, Here's Some more layouts with thumbnails added. The color scheme is based on Third Eye Blind's "Out of the Vein" album cover. I might look at more album covers when creating a new "brand" for all my job-hunting materials.

Pirate Kids






Pirate kids For my layout design class. Not enough time to tie them down and shade them in black. Maybe I'll do that for my final and switch them out later. Hope all is well!

Layout Designs









And lo, a hand burst from the rubble, but this time it wasn't the Super Shredder! Here's some layout designs from school, "straight" vs. "wonky"styles. I'm currently working on some pret-ty exciting collaborative stuff. More definitely to come.

Working on something...


A new banner for a new point in my life. And no, there are no perspective errors! My head has always been that freakishly big, and that putty in the front is abnormally tall. He was born that way and is very self-conscious, so how dare you.

The pretty line quality and tonal patterns will happen in the final stages. *sigh* When I think of what the coming semester is gonna' do to me, I almost want to change the blog title to "Brian Sydnor and the Deathly Hallows" (hmm...nah, The Dumpster's fine.). I'm expecting WAR, and I'm not going in unprepared.

Third Eye Blind's "Ursa Major" is a perfectly solid album, in case you're wondering. I thank them for the unexpected support.
