FOOTBALL.

(Took me 2 and a half hours but maybe by best realistic one yet?)

Cam Newton, Quarterback
Carolina Panthers
2010 - Present

Welcome to the NFL.


So this is my little side project. Football. I'm going to make a rotoscoped and animated short film like the films made by NFL films (or go to the NFL and all the videos on their are made by either NFL Total Access or NFL films). It'll be at least a couple of minutes long, I've done a few tests (rolling uploads on this post) and I can do about 5 seconds in a couple of hours because the style is real loose. I basically whack the tiffs into photoshop because I don't have TVP Paint on my laptop.

I've done more finished drawings/digital paintings mainly for pleasure more than anything else, but they also serve as concept artwork. The actual animated drawings aren't this precisely done.

I'm working on some ones with atmosphere in them such as snow (just trying to find good pictures) so keep a look out.



Joe Montana ("Joe Cool", "Golden Joe"), Quarterback
San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs

(if you're at all interested in Football - start by knowing who Golden Joe is)

Because pictures don't explain how amazing Barry Sanders was.
