One of the projects in my Java Programming course required me to use the Greetfoot IDE to create a fully functional game. My inspiration for this game was the classic arcade game, Space Invaders.

Background was added later with a red pencil. Clean Up I used a lightbox to trace the image with ink onto a piece of watercolor paper. Color Then it was just a matter of using my watercolor paints to get some

Some drawings that were done in Life Drawing class over the past two years. Just some gestures and studies. I have a bit of a problem when it comes to the head... They seem to end up with massive heads. Ha ha. Its something I'm working on for sure.

Three Walk Cycles In my first year studying animation, we spent one semester working pretty much only on walk cycles. Here are three of the more successful ones. I can remember these taking many long nights to get right. Now a walk or run cycle isn't so terrifying and I can get through them without much problem. Ha ha

Jump, Head Turn and Ball Throw Some assignments from my first year of studying animation. We had to classically animate an original character jumping, a dog turning its head and a bear throwing a ball (We were only required to add inbetweens to a little bit of the animation for the last one.) Looking back, there is so much I would do differently but I guess that just means I'm getting

Ball Bounce, Waving Grass and Swinging Pendulum Here are some quick little animations (though they weren't quick at the time) I did way back in my first year studying animation.

Work Term Reflection Fast Forward Gaming Alysha Cantwell My feelings about work term come from both ends of the spectrum. On one hand, I am very happy that I was able to work with someone on their ideas and concepts but, on the other hand, I am extremely disappointed that I was not able to work in an actual studio environment. Either way, work term was quite the learning experience. I
