A few oldies

A couple of old pictures I came across while cleaning out my computer.

Some trees

A logo for my friend’s website

And two pics of my friend’s awesome tiny dragon character

I have a website! and I had some work :).

I finally made myself a proper website. helendallat.co.uk . Go have a look around!

In other news I have just finished my first paid freelance job after uni! I spent the last five weeks at Sherbet in London, doing rotoscoping and backgrounds on the animated sections of a documentary, being directed by Tony Comley. I had a really great time working there. It was really nice to be in a studio environment again and has really spurred me on to try and find more work again!

Woolly Hooves

Thought I would post up some work from some projects I have done work for in the past! This particular one was lots of fun. I made lots of pictures of creatures, as well as some maps and town images for Woolly Hooves – Invincible Llama Sim. A very surreal but very entertaining game created by a friend of mine!

Here are a few of the characters, the caterpillar chef, big croc, chief hare, spider crab minion, angry tomato and tailor squirrel.

  

The main llama picture

The town images

and a couple of items.

Projects like this are always a lot of fun, though this one was even more fun than most because the artists were given a lot of freedom and a lot of creative input to the whole site.

Paintings

Just a few little paintings that I did for fun. Decided to play around with a limited colour palette and I am quite pleased with the results! I really enjoy painting quickly like this, it’s a lot of fun and always produces something interesting.

I turned the elephant into an album cover for a talenthouse competition. Voting starts today if anyone would like to support me!

Exciting News

My graduation film, Bare, has been shortlisted for the British Animation Awards 2012 Best Student Film category! I am very excited and suprised! Bare is also going to be screened by the BBC as part of their ‘Big Screens’ program, which will mean it will be shown on big public screens across the UK, along with a few other films from Newport!

Another thing that has happened recently was my internship at Arthur Cox in Bristol (where I now live). I worked with Matthew Walker on his section of ‘A Liar’s Autobiography’, a feature length animation about the life of Graham Chapman. It was great fun, I really enjoyed working in the studio environment and I learnt lots of things, including a little about working in stereoscopic 3D and learning to use Flash from scratch in a few days!

Other than that I have been working on a mixture of commission work, as well as a big new project of my own which is currently in the works! Can’t give away much about it yet, but when it’s a bit further along I will update!

And some bears, of course.
