Animation Mentor challenge

Recently, Animation Mentor had a contest regarding the World Cup 2014. So I thought I'd give it a go. So many awesome entries, it's intimidating but at the same time motivating (like kick in the butt) to look at!


On to news now. I'm in Athens, working for a small animation and vfx studio called Yafka (I can feel the greek people reading this, looking suspicious, because it's a strange name for Greece), doing 3d animation and rigging in 3Ds Max. That was a steep road to take, since I hadn't worked in the program before, plus hadn't done much rigging. But challenge accepted, so I've learned a lot this past month, about rigging and the program as a whole. The studio is involved in very cool projects, for History Channel for example. You can read an old article in CGSociety, here:

Hope everybody is having a great summer out there!!

Cheers,
Dio

Logos

It's refreshing to do different things once in a while. This time it was a logo.


...and some color variations from my talented friend Artemis Tsagari:

Bachelor film promotional material

I am officially a graduate from The Animation Workshop!! It all happened last Friday, when we got our diplomas.

So since my year's bachelor films - except from ours - are out (Go check em out!), I thought I'd share some of the press kit material I worked on.


Note: The color palette was provided by the director, Johan Steen. The character design was a collaborative effort between the team members. The execution is mine.


Stay tuned for updates about the release of our film. It's looking beautiful!

Character designs

These were done a while ago, and they were part of 3 posters that were done together with my talented designer friend Artemis Tsagari . It took me some time to upload, because I wanted to do some adjustments for the first design. Hope you dig! :)
