More concept doodles.

Another character from the short i mentioned below. I kinda like him.

Concept doodle

This is an unused concept design i had from a short film idea. The final designs aren't fully complete so who knows maybe elements of this one might just leak their way back in.

Concept Doodles

Here are a few concepts i've been playing around with for friends of mine. I really enjoyed playing around with these characters, so fingers crossed they get a chance to live beyond these doodles.

L'Illusionniste encore! from Tom Caulfield on Vimeo.

Heres two scenes i worked on from the Sylvain Chomet film "L'illusionniste" I feel lucky to have work on such a unique film and am greatful to work with such a talented group of people so passionate and commited to animation.
So thank you to everyone that made working on this film a real treat for me.
If you get the chance to see the film i hope you enjoy it.

Unused Doodles

Going through old files on my hard drive i found a few designs i was asked to do for a project some time last year. Since they werent used and just sitting there, i've just lashed a few of them together and voila! a blog post.
While i'm here i'd like to say thank you for all the awesome comments over the last while.

Dart Doodles

Man it's been a while since the last post and so as to get the ball rolling again heres a few doodles from my sketchbook i done while on the dependably undependable DART. They were drawn over the last few months when the weather was baltic, hence most of them are rugged up tih the nines.

Halloween Doodle

I know it's a bit early but, Happy Halloween everyone. Have fun and be safe.

I heart 2D

Horse ruff test from Tom Caulfield on Vimeo.

The other day the animation paper i ordered got delivered, needless to say having recieved it i was bursting to animate. So after a few stops and starts i had an evening to really get stuck in and immerse myself into animating anything i felt like.
After a flurry of flipping, doodling, erasing and the odd piece of tape for re-pegging this is the result. Its ruff as guts, very unrefined and needs heaps of finessing but man did i enjoy it ;)


My apologies for the qualty of the video, i've been having trouble with the camera i have so had to use an old web cam. Hopefuly you can still see whats going on and with a bit of luck i'll be able to get a better quality version posted soon maybe with the corrections done aswell. Anyway heres two images form te test on what it's ment to look like. ;)

Random Doodles

Just some random doodles.

A doodle of a horse, of course!

As well as the post i also just want to say Thanks so much to everyone thats left comments and visited this blog so far, it's very much appreciated so Thank you all.

Ikkle Doodle.

Looking over some old work recently i came across this image. I vaguely remember going to colour it with pinks and yellow's and other such colours. As you can see that went out the window.

Wacom-Snake doodle,

Heres a doodle of a happy little snake, with quite possibly the worst camouflage ever!

Congratulations! your doodle has evolved.

What started out as a doodle while on the phone, dont know who i was talking to or what was going through me head for to be doodling a crocodile but how and ever. I decided to take the doodle and evolve it into a more finished drawing. Heres a few of the doodles i done to find the finished piece. There was heaps more little doodles done to but heres a few of the main doodles that dictated the final doodle.

Batty Doodle

A doodle to keep my mind off things.
