Animating "Frank the Frilled Necked Lizard" for Disney's "The Rescuers Down Under"

A Sculpture of Frank  I made (2 different poses above and below), to help with drawing.

A sculpture of "JOANNA" I made during the production to help with drawing.

 Two different Model sheets of "Frank the Frilled Necked Lizard" for animators to use. The drawings pictured are from the scenes I animated.

Ursula

I animated a lot of Ursula in Disney's "The Little Mermaid" (especially at the end of the Poor Unfortunate souls song).  Did this drawing recently for fun. She sure was a great character.

"The Jafar Beggar" from Aladdin

A scene I animated in Disney's "Aladdin".  Very cool to work on Jafar as the Beggar and I believe this must have been the most extreme pose I animated in my career! Love the drool the effects guys added too! :)

A modern day girl thrust into the world of Historical Characters! These are drawings of my daughter Allie I did for fun as we backpacked through England and Scotland. :)

Jafar Snake Designs

In the Disney Animation feature "Aladdin",  I created the character design for Jafar when he transformed into a Cobra Snake.  Really cool character but a lot of work with all the pencil mileage! :)

Originally I thought it would be cool to have a skull design on the back of his hood but it was going to be too much work for the artists to inbetween.

Here's a copy of one of the drawings from my animation scene when Jafar was transforming into the cobra. The dialogue was " Perhaps you'd like to see how snake like I can be".

Here's some personal animation I created for the Allie Kay Band's youtube intro. I designed and animated this in Toon Boom Harmony and had lots of fun doing this! Check it out!

Sculptures I created for various feature animated films

Here are some sculptures I did on my own time when I worked at Disney Feature Animation and Dreamworks Animation.  These are sculpted in Sculpy and airbrushed. I always found it helpful to create a sculpture for Hand drawn animation to help draw on model.


Ursula scupture I created. Absolutely one of my favorite characters I worked on in my career! Ruben Aquino was an awesome supervisor to work for and so kind to give me such great scenes to animate!

A sculpture of Frollo I made early on in the production to help with his difficult design. I feel so lucky to have been an animation supervisor for this character. The sequence "Hellfire" was a dream come true to animate!

"Joanna" from "The Rescuer's Down Under". Really neat character to animate.

Loved doing the lead animation for this little guy! This is the second of 2 sculptures I created of "Frank" the frilled neck lizard for "The Rescuer's down under".

Sculpture of "Chef Louie" I created while working on "The Little Mermaid". Need to finish airbrushing him and reattach his mustache.

Some various sculptures I created while working on Tzekel Khan from "The Road to El Dorado".
