Fantasy Creatures

Duberlord and Terrorlord Having A Standoff

The Duberlord universe is about kids who act and imagine as if they are in a feudal system and are superheroes (more or less). So there are kingdoms, clans, kings, lords, emperors, queens, peasants, jesters, supermen/women (boys/girls), strange 'super powers', wars, and such. Duberlord's archenemy is Terrorlord. They both have armies and both fight over the candy mines and playgrounds.

Update on Senior Film "Oh Sludge"

The film is now changed to "Oh Sludge" and the story takes place in the middle of the ocean on an island. The bad guy is now a sludge monster, not a tornado. Also, the whale is now named Whaleburt.

Main Character for Senior Film

I took a break from school work to make random clay sculptures and made a whale and a mole character. I thought they looked pretty cool and decided to draw them in other poses. I decided to make the whale the main character for my next short animation. The animation's working title is "TornadOoooh Noooo!" - something like that. The story is that the whale has just finished building a new house and a tornado is his housewarming gift from mother nature. Yes the whale lives on land, but he has a swimming pool to keep him wet and things. In the short he will attempt to stop the tornado from wrecking his house. Sculpt pic and animation test of whale coming soon. His name is Whale Guy at the moment. 

Remodeled Character Designs

So I did a redo of Duberlord's and the Ice Cream Bandit's style design.

Stuck in LaaLoo Land

Stuck in LaaLoo Land is a new story idea I came up with in the past couple of weeks. It's based around this redheaded girl that lives and views everything through her imagination to keep herself sane. Her imagination is constantly changing and thus making everything else around her change with it. I made some character designs for her but no name yet. These are the digital images..I enjoy the top one.

NERK Animation logo

A little logo animation I created for a fake studio that I made up for a business class. He's got a square head and no mouth..it's great!

Lil' Lonzo short

This is the stop motion short that I made with Lil' Lonzo. STORY: Lil' Lonzo is on a break and decides to head for the nearest vending machine to purchase a beatiful Sugar Pop soda...and things happen.

Lil' Lonzo Moments

This is Lil' Lonzo, my stop motion puppet that is partially made out of pantyhose and other things. HE'S GREAT! Sadly he is retired from doing more films for he might break in the process.

KAWAII..(fake) GAMEPLAY concept

For some reason, uploading on here makes the quality very, very poor. (Better to look with a smaller screen)
