Hey, didn't see you there...

Thank you very much for stopping by my blog. This place is pretty much where I dump everything, art wise, including the kitchen sink. If I feel like sharing something, finished or not, it'll find a place here. Now if you look to your lower right you'll find a Digsby widget, right under the "About Me" section there. If it says that I'm online please feel free to type hi! I'd love to hear from ya. Well anyhow, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a good one.

Just thought I'd post this one up. I've recently just designed a shirt with this little guy on it. I actually intend to use him more as a mascot in my portfolio designs and demo reels so hopefully you'll all get to see more of him in the near future.

A piece for fun

This character's sort of been in the back of my mind for a while. I did this to get his design down on paper that aren't just scribbles and rough sketches. The bits of armor on his arms and legs are there to keep his hands and feet from blowing up when he fires of whatever power he has. I should come up with a name for this dude.

A girl and her carabao



Here's a piece I worked on a while back. I was planning on having some kind of Philippine tribal tattoo run down that arm and the girl would have the same. In the end, however, I decided that I still didn't know enough about the Kalinga to do their designs any justice or respect. This is okay for now.

Young Indiana Jones and Friends





A little fan art of Indiana Jones and crew I did right around the time the latest movie released. Actually, the characters are, more or less, from the Temple of doom.

11 Second Club March Competition Rough Animation



Hi All,

Here is the first rough animation of the 11 second Club March competition. Though the competition is over, I decided to keep going with the project. The ending seems to stop too soon but I'm hoping to work in some overshoots to finish it off. Sorry it's so flickery towards the end. I hope no one gets a seizure or anything.

11 Second Club March Competition Keys and BDs



Hi All,

Here is an animation I did for the 11 Second Club March Competition. Unfortunately, I only managed to finish up the keys and the breakdowns by the deadline. Oh well, better than nothing I guess.

Animation Archive









Hi All,

Here are a few animations that I've done while I was in school. Just thought I'd show them to you all while I'm working on some new ones. See you guys later.

It has finally BEGUN!!!

Hi all,

As my profile on the right side of your screen mentions, My name is Philip Cruz and I am an animator. I started this blog with the hope that it would help me stay diligent with the personal projects that I have going on here. The plan is to post all of my work in their different stages of completion and maybe to even get tips, tricks, and general advice from you guys. Nothing can get posted if nothing's done so I guess better get cracking.... Wish me luck.


Best,
Philip
