Dandy pirate

Another sketch from Stephen Silvers posebook app. This was a timed pose. 2 minutes and maybe a little extra for tweaking

Big Mouth Beaver

Designed this guy last night. I just call him Big Mouth Beaver. Maybe it's because I grew up in Troy, Michigan where we had Big Beaver Road. No joke, it's Exit 69 on I-75.



Angry Farmer

Another sketch based off of a pose from the Stephen Silver Posebook App. I say based, because the character the model was posed as was a witch doctor, but it's generally the same pose



Mafia Guy

Based off of a pose in Stephen Silver's posebook app

Shadow Puppet vs. The Ventriloquist

Today I saw a short starring Kevin Spacey about a Ventriloquist and his dummy. I've been working on a short for almost ten years about the same subject, and I have to say there are a lot of similarities. I doubt the filmmaker and/or Kevin Spacey ever saw my short, but I can't help but see the comparisons. It's hard to even think about finishing this film now, because I don't want them to think that I stole from them.

I'll let you decide:

My original Dummy short from 2003

Then the 2010 update that I've been working on
