A collection of sketches and thoughts by Tim Hedgefield, cartoonist and game developer
I was digging through my art folder and found these Dailies I drew a while back but never got around to finishing.
One of the many adventure-filled days of my internship! I was going to do so many more of these, but somehow it never got off the ground. Too busy I guess. OH WELL.
A new goddamn masterpiece (NSFW) by Seung Kim rolled into my DeviantArt dashboard today, and I thought “fuck, if I drew every day like this guy, I could have been as good as him by now!” Ofcourse, our styles vary, but you know what I mean.
So I sat down to do some practice – half expecting to pen some disproportionate monstrosity (I haven’t really drawn in a while).
But instead, magic happened.
That’s Katy Perry at the 2009 Grammy’s nominations concert btw.
You either love her music or you hate it, but I think we can all agree on one thing:
she has amazing tits.
Holy shit, that’s right, I had a blog…
The last few weeks have been super busy for me, as I’ve spearheaded a little side project over at Monkeybizniz. For the Copenhagen Climate Conference this December, Friends of the Earth International asked us to create an animation for the Angry Mermaid Award, an initiative intended to expose lobbying practices in major corporations. It features a mermaid (the symbol of Copenhagen) fighting against environmental injustice.
The animation was completed in two weeks. It’s a little rough on the edges, but we were on a tight schedule. I was responsible for the storyboard, all character animation and final compositing. Most background elements were made by Dimme van der Hout, mermaid coloring was done by Erica Gasataya, and the music by Bart Delissen.
So far it has almost 20.000 views on Newgrounds, with an average rating of 3.96/5.00 after 1400+ votes and 70+ reviews, and won Daily second place on 11/21/2009.
Heavens, where has the time gone!? Out the window it seems. Or into my new job at Monkeybizniz perhaps. Hmmm…
Nevertheless, I’m forcing myself to get my sketch on in order not to get terribly out of shape – with drawing, not staying fit (that ship has sailed). I am super fucking jealous of Seung Kim’s awesome style, so I’m trying that. I also wanna do more dailies soon and I’m keeping a little Moleskine as a sort of internship diary.
So here’s a little Colin for ya.
And some David Anders, a little doodle I made to get the hang of my work tablet and practice my Flash inking
Guess it’s about time for an update eh?
I wrapped up my sophomore year a few weeks back. Passed all my classes in one go, and the project turned out very well! I think we put together a pretty nice game if you look at where we started, with artists that knew very little about 3D, and programmers that had never programmed for games before. We were lucky to have a great team that worked well together, and even though we didn’t quite accomplish everything we wanted, I’d say we can be proud of what we turned in.
You can take a look at all the sophomore games here. I worked on Will O Wisp, assisting with game design, concept art, creating pretty much all the textures and putting together the audio and gameplay trailer.
So now I finally have some free time again to work on some personal projects (and to look for an internship). I’ve started working on Dinerdate again, finalizing the script and characters, and drawing the first few strips. It’s a little slow because I’m still experimenting with fonts and word balloons and coloring techniques, and I gotta get familiar with the characters again – in terms of being able to draw them consistently. But I’m getting there. If it doesn’t launch before my summer vacation is over I’ll never live it down. It’s been too long.
