Kyle Schaugaard's Cinematic Reel

A few of the scenes I worked on for a game that is currently shelved. I did all of the camera work, and all the animation is mocap that I've animated on top of.

Paper War

Paper War is a student project that I helped my roommates make in my free time after graduating

I did all of the art for this game, including animations, backgrounds, menu's and the HUD.

Background Plane

this is a Mock-Up of the background i'm going to be doing for my friends' student video game. Paper War.

It was just to show the designer what I was thinking, and he approved it.

sketching

A friend asked if I could make a cartoon out of her, and this is what I came up with. She didn't like her feet, or man-hands, but I never changed it. *shrug*

Jump Animation

Key Framed animation I did for fun while in-between tasks at work. Unfortunately this is the only copy I have of it, and can't seem to resize it.

Block Breakers Animations

The character models I made for the student game Block Breakers.

Special Attack Animation

This is the second pass I did on the special attack animation. It was never finished due to a crashing hard drive, but you can see the direction I was going in.

Doggies, Doggies!

Block Breakers Wind Character

This is how the Wind Character is looking today. The Hair still needs some work (it's mostly going to be in the texture thought) and I still plan on noodling around here and there on the model a little bit, but the big place I plan on putting in a little more work is the face. It's getting there, but it's not there YET! :D But here you go, seeing what she looks like as of now!

New Block Breaker Model

So this is what I've been working on in my free time this week. It's been maybe a total of 4-5 hours (including the head model which is not being shown right now) and I just barely started working on the arms when I stopped for the night.

It's one of the characters for Block Breakers. She has wind powers, and will be able to blow characters clear off the board.

Art Dump!

I discovered that 3DS Max has viewport filters and it made me laugh. I need sleep.























These are Business cards for an assignment. I had an idea that the teacher didn't love, and I did, so I tried very desperately to make it work somehow, and here's a few of the attempts.

Front 2









Back 2








This is the newest version of my "Dragon's Breath" concept piece. It's due tomorrow, and I don't think I'm going to get around to making it any better, so this is what it's going to be.

And this is Kate Nash..... she is cute

Digital Dreams Logo Animation

This is the logo for the game team I'm working with, and they requested an animated version of it, and it just happened to coincide with an After Effects assignment that would count.

Update on my portfolio and concept stuff...

So I have been doing a concept piece based on the story "Dragon's Breath", and this is kind of how it's going. I got some pointers from my teacher Geraldine Kovats today, so the top picture is how it looked halfway through the day, and the picture below that, is how I'm ending the day. Pretty Rough, but we'll see how it ends up.

Block Breakers Ice model

This is the progress i've made since my last post. I finished off the shoes, and just started to model the head.... but heads are tricky, and Digipen is throwing the carnival right now... and uh... i... i have no self control. So it's off to the carnival for now! :D I will finish this model soon though, and then I wanna take it into Mudbox. I never tried that before!

Figure Drawing Today

This is the figure drawing I did today.

I am mostly planning on posting this stuff for myself so I have a place to see my own progress, but whatevah'. :D

They are in order of when I drew them.

Chinchilla Animation

This was a character design assignment to design an "Armored Animal" and I chose a chinchilla.

After this assignment, I made a chinchilla in 3D to animate. I made the model, the custom rig, and animation myself.
