July 12th, 2010

These are the designs for Giuseppe Grossos car. I used the Fiat 500 as reference.

Mafia envi design – Houses

July 5th, 2010

I sketched some houses for the italian village. I guess they do not match with the character colors. I guess I’ll go a stepp backward and work on the character colors again..

eRig Animation

June 23rd, 2010

eRig is the teaching rig for the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover.

Its development (character design, modelling, rigging…) was part of Marian Sandars Bachelor Exam.

In this early stage it has some lack of features. But the design of the rigging interface is very beginners friendly and I tried to demonstrate the usability with this simple walk.

Mafia character comp

June 23rd, 2010

This is an early chracter comp. I did these to get a visual feeling how this two characters do work together. This isn’t a final result. I still see here alot of development to do…

Mafia second character design

June 21st, 2010

The second character is called Gionfranco il Cativo. He is the cook in the restaurant and will be murdered by Giuseppe Grosso.

He has a very strong character and a big ego. Gionfranco loves to eat and hates everyone who isn’t digging his meals.

As always I did 20 drawings to shuffle them around.

Catwalk shiping with the CHIP magazine

April 2nd, 2010

The animated short “Catwalk – Black Cat Crossing” has been shipped on DVD in the CHIP magzine Jan 2010. There was a special HD article and they needed some indie films to illustrate the HD world.

Since this news are’t up to date there will be another CHIP HD special in May. The Catwalk film will be on this DVD as well.

Mafia main character design

April 2nd, 2010

This is the main character development for Giuseppe Grosso from the animated short Mafia.

He is a gentle, goofy like character. Deep in his heart he isn’t an evil mafiosi. So it is hard for him to kill a the guy in the story and vanish his body.

I created 20 versions of Giuseppe to research what people do like the most on this character and which is the most lough catcher. At the end I’ll shuffle them to get the super (goofy) hero.
