Time Warp Trio

Time Warp Trio - Storyboards Ep. 117 - sc. 14 from Liam Robinson on Vimeo.

I was able to find some old boards and this is the best quality I could get out of Flash CS5 Exporting. Its fine until the end when a giant chunk of it leaves artifacts into the rest of the video.

The episode was about the tribal contest of the Rapa Nui tribes on Easter Island where tribal representatives would climb down cliffs, swim in shark infested waters to a neighboring island to pick up an egg and then swim back and climb back up the same cliffs. The winner's tribe elder would be the new leader. Thank god for Democracy, huh? Although, if it came down to it, Barack Obama, even with the smokers lung, would probably still beat John McCain in that sort of competition.

2010 Animation Reel

Liam Robinson Animation Reel 2010 from Liam Robinson on Vimeo.

When I started this I had almost completed my reel during a 2 week vacation from work and then on the last two days of my vacation my computer just went and died. THANKFULLY, the apple store techs (after a week, lost work time and some negotiations) were able to save everything from my old computer and placed it onto a brand spanking new computer worth $3000 for absolutely free. Although, the new computer came with a few hiccups and I found out the hard way that Flash CS4 and Mac OS Snow Leopard don't play well together (which caused me to get backed up on work, again). But after that migraine and work coming down on me, I was able to finish the reel. Since then, I've been trying to upload my 2010 animation reel onto my blog, but for some reason it would get stuck in the uploading cycle. So I gave up and tried the round about way of doing it...I created a Vimeo account and uploaded it there which uploaded it without any problems, from there I just embedded the video.

So enjoy!

I created this with the use of iMovie. I credited the music to Anamanaguchi, a techno band which specializes in 8bit sounds.

I know its a little Wordgirl heavy, but really, that's all I've been working on for the most part of my career. Since Flash has not fixed its quicktime conversion, I'm not able to get any good quality out of my old Time Warp Trio work, I know there is some good storyboards amongst that stuff at the very least. Too bad, I'll have to work around that issue some how.

Halo: Reach

Just taking another hour or so break from work to play with Corel Painter 11 again. A quick Halo: Reach painting using the Oil brush, pencil, and airbrush tools. I can't wait for my time-off...I'm gonna play so many video games to make up for all of this work.

Nanananananananananana...

I took a break from work for a few hours to play around with Corel Painter 11 and threw this together.

Fun with New Toys

I got a new toy for 50% off! Corel Painter 11. It was on sale and I've always wanted it, so BAMF, I got it. I'm still trying to work out the kinks and I need to find time to actually really play with it, but I'm hoping this will be a good substitute for not having my own studio space.

"Lady Smoke" Painter 11 - 2010

Sorry this has been my only post in a REALLY long time...but we just had our first born child, Brendan James Robinson, 8 weeks ago and I've been rather busy juggling work and fatherhood. So finding time to do my own artwork is rather difficult these days.

Drill-Bot

Working on some images for Emerald City Comic Con 2012. I thought this robot blueprint would make a good series to sell prints. I was thinking of a whole series of service/manual labor robots. Still working the kinks out.

3D final preview

Here's a quick preview of my 3D class final. The model isn't perfect, but that is secondary to the animation. This is still a work in progress. The idea is a lizard-like creature is trying to catch a fly (not yet in the scene) and has some trouble doing so.
