Background Designs

Digital backgrounds painted in photoshop. Part of the concept art of my second year short film group production "Flotsam".



These backgrounds were made for the feature film "Friends Forever". The final backgrounds in the film however contain less detail and texture.

Hand painted watercolour background and close-up. These background designs were part of a 90 second shortfilm project in my first year at university.

3D digital background build in Maya. This is my first exercise of building a basic and simple 3 dimensional background.

Character Design

This character represents a backpacker. I created this character for some short animation sequences which are also included in my show reel. I also planned to use this character for some animation short films.

The facial expression also show her in various moods and from different perspectives and express her personality.

As she represents a typical backpacker, I made different poses which show her on different stages of her travels: e.g. her life on road trips being packed in the car amongst the luggage, carrying her backpack and even sleeping on it at night to prevent it from being stolen. Furthermore she is shown going hiking, climbing, swimming and snorkeling. Other poses express her dedication to go job hunting and her working in different jobs such as pruning or fruit picking and packing.
