The first pass of Brenda

The model sheet for the Brain in the film.



This is the animatic for my senior film. It is still in the rough stage and the voices are not set just yet, but you can still get the idea behind my film. Enjoy!

Batman's BatPod

This is a motorcycle I created with MAYA 2008. It is based on the motorcycle Batman rode in The Dark Knight.
