Caricature - Teacher. -- Happy Holidays!

Old life sketch of a teacher of mine, somehow turned into a new caricature. A little bit of Mort Drucker influence combined with more fluid line artists like Brett Whitely.

Wreck-It-Ralph, Big Hero 6 - Design & 3D Models

Things have been super busy lately, taking care of my family in Australia as a beloved family member slowly passes. Some sad but beautiful life lessons, pain, and sharing moments for us.

Here's some great design, modeling, and character development work for Disney's Wreck-It-Ralph and Big Hero 6 from Dylan Ekren, who once described a good cartoon design as being like a "streamlined sports car," with its balance of curves, straights, and hit-points (focus points) where lines and shape edges come close or meet.
