Ratatat Title Card

Here's the first of a series of 12 title cards I'm working on for possible Ratatat episodes.
Enjoy! :D

Animation Collaborative: Assignment 5

More Wizard of Oz concepts... as you can tell, this is not your conventional WoOZ

RATATAT Cover?

Working on possible wrap-around designs for the cover of my 'Art of RATATAT' book.
This is my first take, very loose and concepty.

Animation Collaborative: Assignment 4

Wohoo! Our own take on the Wizard of OZ!
I'll be doing the main cast soon, but in the meantime here's my Dorothy and Toto concepts!

Yes, Toto turns into a giant buffalo panda dog... or a 'Panduffalog' (patent pending) :)

   

Animation Collaborative: Assignment 2

Ok, so here's my new take on the Jekyll Hyde assignment.
The first is the new one, the bottom is the first one :)

Animation Collaborative: Assignment 3

Still working on revisions for assignment 2 (Jekyll and Hyde), but here's 3 in the meantime :)
More Ratatat :)

And the first take:

Animation Collaborative: Assignment 1

Here is my first assignment from the Animation Collaborative Character Design Class taught by Albert Lozano and Chris Sasaki, two of the most inspiring teachers I've had the pleasure to learn from.

last batch of cards!

Remember those baseball cards I did for a friend about a year ago? Well I just finished up the series with this last set:

Hope you like :)

RATATAT poster!

I swear, I'll come back and swap those spaceships out for some cooler ones, but I haven't had time to design them yet and I needed to get something up quick that gets the point across... hope you like :)

In no way inspired by either of these ;) :

Jungle Fever

Ratatats battles bio jungle crazed velociraptors too... no big deal...

BG process

So I'm working on a few new ones to post, but until then, I threw together a quick look into my process for these backgrounds I'm making. Hope it helps in someway, even if just for a laugh :P

Ratatat BGs

Trying to figure out the look of the backgrounds. I'll update this entry as I make some more.
If you have any suggestions or comments, let me know!
I still have time to fool around before I solidify anything :)

rolling

Starting to get things rolling with show development on my thesis.
Lots more to come, and soon, but here are the beginnings of the main baddies :)
