Subway Drawin' August

I've been Pushing myself to get out of the comic style... or at least be able to get out of it if i have to. I studied a bunch of Silver stuff and took what i liked from him. The page here using the orange col-erase pencil is my first attempt at his style. The rest are somewhere in between. Been an interesting summer of style changes! Stay tooned for more!

ANIMATION HOUSE PARTY

That's right gang, a serious House Party. No pulling any punches. Everyone's welcome, just RSVP dammit. Hope to see everyone i know there. Literally. That includes you Grandma.

Winner!

Quick note that I, Bryan Murdoch, took home the 'You Blew It' Award over at www.alphanuiota.blogspot.com... check it out for something truly disturbing!

Zoo Animals and Fire- together at last!

Here are a few draws from the Peterborough Zoo Derek, Mitch and Myself went go check out



A Design i worked on for a Sun character needed for a cartoon. It alas was not selected!

Quick Postings!

Just some random sketches, some more recent than others. I actually finished a sketch book a few weeks back- cover to cover. Never actually done it all the way through... I guess i've been fearful that the last page would never hold up as a 'finale'... but i think i got it right this time...




Some Subway drawings from a while back



A Caracature of my favorite Television A-hole.

Returning to my roots- creature design

Stay Tuned for more character designs comin' soon!

"Buck" Maquette

Here's one of the Maquettes I made this year. 'Buck' is made from a coat hanger and modelling wire skeleton. Filled out with tin foil for form and wrapped in Super Sculpy.




The Final Painted version- painted with Acrylic paint and mounted on a slice of Birch wood.

'Buck' and his companion character 'Wolf' can be seen in the display case at the front of the Seneca Animation department.

Brief update!

Subway/Bus Sketches May 05

Here's some Subway Sketches done with a Ballpoint Pen. I did two versions of this one dude with a poney tail... so help me god that thing was tied back SO TIGHT it was pulling his eyebrows up (yet he managed to keep his scowl the whole time) And that hair was combed... i mean perfectly combed, back into the poney tail. That thing must have taken an hour to tear backwards. And him and his buddy (with an identical poney tail mind you) sat on the bus together in virtually complete silence... and they never once cracked a smile. Now maybe it's just me'n'my friends but if i'm gonna be on the bus for 25 minutes at SOME POINT our conversation is going to make me grin. Not these fellers though. Yeee-ikes!







The Pig is a nod to Frankie's 'Farm Week'








This old guy with a camera was standing very still, dressed nicely in a collared shirt, slacks and some nice dress shoes. He moved very slowly and thoughtfully- what you might expect from an older gent. But then he saw something he wanted to get a shot of and that dude snapped into action like Spiderman or something, he was all sprawled out snapping shots like a mad man! It was unreal!

Mother's Day Weekend

Fairly busy this past weekend, did a few sketches, a little Subway drawin', and a little Spidey action.

The Librarian, Cheerleader, Football Star, Trucker, Lunch Lady and Mafia Hitman

3 Sets of Character Designs- the first 6 were the original look of the characters, then the following were the re-designed Cheer Leader, Mafia Hitman and Librarian. These were done last year.

First Try...?
