The Misadventures of Klepto-Man! - Written Summary

The Misadventures of Klepto-Man is a short with a simple premise, a superhero stops a bank heist, but ends up stealing from the bank himself. The short is heavily inspired by older animations, such as UPA, Looney Tunes, and most importantly, Roger Ramjet, being the main inspiration for the character's design and the general plot structure.

While the original overall goal of the project was to create a 4 minute animated short, due to multiple circumstances affecting my work flow, the full animation is unfinished, with only only the opening 46 seconds finished. However I still believe much of the goal was met: five original characters have been modeled, skinned, rigged and animated; I have also managed to create a 2D looking artstyle within maya, which was part of the original goal.

Toolkit 2 - Check-in Submission

Pipeline 1: Head Modelling - Parts 1, 2 & 3

Part 1 - Preparation
Part 1 shows how to create a custom shelf and how to place the orthographs into the scene.

Part 2 - Rough Blocking
In part 2 you begin modelling the head of Jet Pack Jones.

Starting with creating a temporary NURBs sphere that will get replaced much later by a more detailed eye.

Using a primitive cube, one must begin modelling the rough head shape.

Adding more geometry as you go, creating better head shape.

Here's the end result of my JPJ by the end of Part 2. Holes have been cut out for the mouth and ears. I have also duplicated mirrored it to show a full head.
