Fall 2015 @ Gnomon

This was probably my heaviest and hardest quarter at Gnomon, but I'm still pretty proud of what I've made.  Aside from other projects, like my first IK/FK rig and scripting my own random rock generator, I also made these finals.  Still more to touch up and work on with both, but I'm still pretty proud with where I managed to get them.  Time to do more!

Heaven and Earth Oasis Fundraiser

Looks like my concept design for the new Heaven and Earth Oasis printed well!  I was unable to attend because I had class, but it looks like it was a great event.  My art was front and center for almost the whole fundraiser:  https://vimeo.com/143837912
