Liminal Sleep

Liminal Sleep is loosely based on a true story about a grandmother’s experience with declining mental health and living alone and away from family. In the film, Grandma confronts her demons both internal, and external while discovering a frightening truth. Liminal Sleep explores the sometimes fluid boundary between the subconscious mind and profound reality.

Hello everyone, our short film is finally posted! Link is in my bio. Check out Liminal Sleep, a 3D animated short film we have been working on for the past 3 semesters. We modeled, animated, and built everything ourselves for this short. Enjoy! And make sure to check out the films made by the other teams: The Apothecary and Bear In Mind

Another work in progress on this guy. Both characters are in, just gotta clean up the animation. Also noticed some textures are buggin' out, but closer to finishing this one!

Never posted the finished product of this project. But here it is!

#unrealengine #cinematography

Short fun dialogue animation I did with an audio clip from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Here is a work in progress of the Unreal Engine project I'm currently working on. This is my first shot at world building and using Niagara in the engine. I'll share more as I continue to work on building the inside of the room. But hoping to get this done before the 16th. I have been loving working in Unreal.

Died for a little bit after the semester ended, it was a rough one. But here is the last animation project I had. We had to create character poses. The model is NOT mine. It was created and rigged by Tim Oliver Haag and Carlyn Lim. I just moved the rig around :)

Had to make a car and pixarize it. Although, I think I just built a car and slapped some eyes on it lol. But here is an Autozam AZ1 without any textures.

#3d #3dmodeling #maya

Started learning Unreal Engine this week for my digital cinematography class. Had to make a micro-story so we made a shot/reverse shot talking sequence. This took me probably too long but there is SO much that can be done in UE5.

Enjoy this creepy witch I made. 😂 I am loving zbrush. The teeth, cape, and base mesh was provided but I sculpted and painted the model.

#zbrush #3dmodeling #3d

My first zbrush sculpt! Don’t mind the teeth and hair, ran out of time for the project but I hope to go back and fix it up (and make the eyes glow). We had to chose a Disney 2D character to make 3D so I did Goliath from Gargoyles.

Finally started working on zbrush. Warming up with a nice Écorché study.

#inktober2021 #inktobersuit #ink #art

My last final done using procreate. Thanks to all my friends who let me use them as models this semester 🙏🏼

#digital #procreate #art

Another WIP. This is the latest painting I’ve started. I need to finish the hair and the background and then let it dry for glazing. More progress shots included.

#oilpainting #underpainting #art

A vanitas focusing around the Greek mythology of the Fates, started with the idea of memento mori. I want to add a bit more to this piece because this was my final and I just wanted to finish it on time. So stay tuned for an update on it!

#digital #procreate #vanitas #mementomori #art

My attempt for my surrealism assignment. It was much harder than I thought it would be because I’ve realized I lean so much more into fantasy instead of surrealism. But, I tried. Did this first on paper then took a picture of it and messed with it on procreate. #surrealismart #procreate

Underpainting finished for this one and it’s nice and dry. Hope to start glazing it soon! Included some progress shots. #oilpainting

(WIP) One more for today. I started a lot of paintings at once so most of my oil paintings are a wip. But for now here’s one of them.

I haven’t been active on Instagram for a while but I’ve been plenty busy with my art. So prepare yourselves for a buttload of a new pieces! This one is a revamp of one of my inktober pieces. #procreate

I tried glazing and well, I’m going to try again because I think I messed up a lot of this underpainting. Don’t know if I like this style yet but it seems so soft. #oilpainting #glazing #firstattempt

Lost in the waters of lust #charcoal #art

Y’all, this painting kicked my ass. I’m not very happy with it but as my third ever oil painting I guess I should be proud. Painting is so hard! #oilpainting #coprimary #art #painting

We did self-portraits in class. At first I was super critical with how it came out but then I looked back on my very first portrait and realized how much I’ve improved. 2020 vs 2013 #selfportrait #charcoalportrait

This is the first time I have fully completed inktober! Inktober is so stressful sometimes and I think I finally found the best way for me to finish it. Time to relax a bit! #inktober2020

Day 31: crawl. And that’s it! Last day of inktober!!! #inktober2020

Day 30: ominous. This one was hard because I had such a long spot left on my paper but I figured it out #inktober2020

Day 29: shoes #inktober2020 #dorohedoro #shin

My second oil painting using a Zorn palette. Coming from inking this was really hard for me but overall I’m pleased with how it turned out. #oilpainting #zornpalette

Day 27: music “It's real youth in the palm of your hand when your mom thinks Satan is involved in a band” #inktober2020 #aesoprock

Day 26: hide #inktober2020 #panslabyrinth #paleman

Day 23: rip (I swear I’ve been doing these just haven’t had time to post because of school) #inktober2020

Day 22: chef. This is all I’d be making if I was actually in LOZ #inktober2020
