A New Family from Miyuki Maruyama on Vimeo.

happy late halloween.

My dearest friends in Japan were wearing costume and got on a train on halloween day.

In Japan, Halloween is not that big event like in the U.S. But I love how they just do it.

They said they walked around Shibuya station and went to T.G.I Fridays and got some dinner.

They said people pretended like they are not looking at them.

I looooove Halloween! I wish the world turned into Halloween town.

Dooooooodle

I was doodling on scratch papers while I was waiting. really just doodles.

Figure drawing

I can only go to figure drawing once a week now.

Birthday, Clown and Zombies.

More 9 panel asaignment.

The first panel was provided for this one.. I think it is a bit weird. I had completely different idea. but after I opened photoshop, I had a vision of a guy coming out of nowhere like this. And it turned out really weird.

The middle panel was provided for this one. I don't think I should call this story board.Because the panel is not in usual order. Time looooop.

The latest one, It was assigned before Halloween. The first panel was provided for this one. One of my friend said the girl looks like my friend Michelle. so I just call her Michelle.

This is sort of inside joke. Since the three zombies looks like our faculties. I put one more faculty. I need John Clapp in here too, and maybe even Sheldon.

You cheated on me!!!

This is the assignment for my 3D animation class.

The assignment was to animate some change of emotion.
Mine is happy to angry.
A girl she her fiancée cheating on her.

Oh, and this is same animation, and totally happened by accident, but it looks a bit scary but interesting.

Another 9 panel assignments from last 2 weeks

First one, we got first panel. and second one, we got last panel.

9 panels!!

I am taking Storyboarding class.

So fun, and so hard.

It is hard but that makes me learn :)

These are fun assignment we do weekly.

We get one panel and come up with story and fill the blank panels.

Turning

1st assignment of the semester, from 3D animation class.

It's not done so well. but I hope I can become a better animator through this course.

Assignment was to do 180 degree turn. No facial expression. Just body movement.

Our instructor, Raquel is such a great animator.

She knows what she is teaching, and her critique helps a lot.

I'm so glad she is teaching us.

animation sketchbook

An assignment for the biggining of the semester.

Animation Sketchbook.

We had to create some kinda animation within a week.

We could use any method, medium,, it can have story, can be abstract.

It could be anything as long as it's animated.

I did pencil test..

I really love Japanese summer.

It's really an enchanting season.

Forest

Pencil Rendering and the Painting of three forests from last semester.
