Scene

A picture I did months ago, but had another look at it and changed a few things and thought it wasn't too bad to post.

Say my name!

I really need a name for her. Suggestions appreciated :D

Take 2

Major

Stand up straight laddy buck! Wot!

Pretty elvish Princess time!

At last!!!

Went into London yesterday and finally got my hands on my Framestore animation. Here's my new showreel. Not all the Framestore stuff is included so if you would like to see more, please ask! Enjoy!

Ammy

Fae

Pink and sparkles!!!!

Pirate Lady

Hush hush...

A little snippet of my pitch, cause the faces make me laugh.

Mountains

I'm not the best at backgrounds and this one is nothing to write home about, but I really like the colours.

Dancing

Changed the girl on the left.

Dumbledore

I'm having the worst case of artists block right now, I actually can't draw anything. I found this old picture I hadn't finished and added the stones.

Fluffykins

A sketch I liked.

Model Sheet

Rooster

Mermaid

Collection

Drawings and whatnot.

Uncle Cloud

A little break from book work. A mix between Okami and Wind Waker...

Another page.

Another shot at doing a page.

Initial Book Page

This is a quick production still, as it were, for the book. I really like the colours for this, but I'm still not sure on the design for Lily (the little girl). Watch this space, a final design will be on it's way soon...

Front Cover

I've gone for a whole new style, which I think suits the picture book genre.

I was trying to design a little girl to go with Widget and I ended up with this.

Practising with the character.

My Friend Widget

A little project I'm working on....

Link and Navi

Ptolomey's Gate

I was re-reading the last book in the Bartimaeus Trilogy and I always wished that Kitty and Nathaniel could have had a cheeky little kiss before the end. The middle picture is supposed to encompass the part when Nat summons Bartimaeus into himself but he's already in the park giving Kitty a quick kiss goodbye.

Kangacat

I really liked the sketch, based off a pose my cat was doing, so I went and coloured it. It's ok, but looks way too Photoshoped. Plus I kept messing up the tail.

Wood Spirit

He protects the trees and animals. He's also grumpy.

Dude

A very old sketch, done up and coloured.

Snowy!

A dog that looks like Snowy!!

Christmas!

I hate the word Xmas but Christmas is too damn long!!

Centaur

Some more chatacter stuff.

Bear Man

Practise

A little go at speed painting...

Queen Of Cats

Drawn in memory of my fantastic cat, who was my fisrt ever pet and brought a whole new meaning to the word 'Diva'.

Bob

A little character I've been developing.

I couldn't decide which background worked best, so here are both. I orginally started this picture about 5 months ago, then forgot about it found it again, decided I quite liked the direction it was going in so finally finished it.

A bit of experimentation with Photoshop.

Runners

A sketch for the runners.

Goodbye

A sketch I did at work coloured over in Photoshop. About 2 hours.

Work

At the end of a very hard day...

Work doodles

A collection of sketches that I did at work.

Runners

I started a little project a while go to characiture all the runners for something fun to do and to get me practising more on Photoshop. I started with one of the simpler sketches, and have already learnt alot from it. This is still a WIP but was so much fun!!

Some more brush practise.

This is my current showreel. I used Windows movie maker to put it together and it didnt like the quicktime files I used for my cg stuff which is why they jerk a bit.

Just some practice with photoshop brushes.

A collection of sketches....good and bad :)

A few more boards from the same project.

Some storyboard work.

A few boards from a project I helped out on.

ipod

Sketch done at work.

Game Stuff

I've been working on same ideas for games and cme up with one where you play as Death's apprentice. I quite like the idea and have just been playing around with character designs and styles that could work.

WIP lip sync

I'm still pretty new to Maya and this is my first lip sync. It took a while to get to grips matching the mouth to the words but I really enjoyed doing the body language. The sound clip is from 40 Year Old Virgin, the rig from somewhere online.

A picture of Mrs Mc Gonagall done in Painter.



Some doodling for a film pitch.

Meeses!!

A page showing some of the designs I went through before coming up with my character for the film I directed this year "Mousecapade".... I love meeses to pieces!! XD

Character Stuffs

These are some designs I did for the film I worked on last year for the school girls, when the director wanted them in a Stephen Silver style.

Life Drawing

These are some life drawings I did in my second year and this year. All tided up for my folio!

Here's just a litte something to start off. This is meant to be Willow and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Starting to use Flash for the great illustrative effect you get!

Erm...hello?

Wow, blogs are scary places, but I flet it was about time I conquered this fear and just went for it. My name is Yasmine Altawell, Im' from England and I'm an animation student who's just about to graduate... woot! I've just finished directing my final year film called "Mousecapade", which I will hope to post up here soon. And when I say directing, I don't just mean directing I also mean that I animated, designed layouts and characters, coloured and cleaned up and traced. Quite a list. Phew. Anyway, just a brief introduction. I've seen some amazing stuff on here and I hope that some of the work I show doesn't fall too short of the mark!
