Braden Arnold Introduction

Greetings! My name is Braden, and I am originally from Houston, Texas (Go Astros! Sorry to all y’all Sox and Yankees fans…). I am a very big enjoyer of all things music-related, most of the media that I consume is music related as I am constantly listening to and discovering new music. I aspire to be an audio designer/composer for games in the future, or honestly be involved in anything music related. Most of the art that I have made has been from classes. I have taken traditional art courses as well as courses in animation and modeling. I am really looking to improve my skills as a digital artist, as the visual art that I make in my free time is usually just pencil sketches. In addition to music and drawing, I also like to act in and write sketch comedy, and I am part of two of the three comedy groups on campus: Empty Set Experimental Comedy and Kilroy Sketch Comedy. Recently, I have been inspired by the art of Kilian Eng (His artwork is really cool, you should definitely check it out).

    When I see your post I see it as detailed. To me I know how detailed you have to be when 3D modeling.

    Theres a lot of personality and humor put into your work. I like the 2D animation reel, your character take and office scene are really funny! The comedy sketch is also very entertaining.

    I couldn’t help myself but to grin at most of your pieces, they just strike a funny balance.

    Audio work and composition is a mystery to me, and you did a wonderful job on the pieces you’ve shown.

    Both models look very smooth to me, and they give me a funny and cartoonish vibe. Not to mention the acting, they put a smile on my face.

    I think you’re able to capture different types of clothing in 3D really well. I really like the Hank Hill model and I think you captures his proportions in 3D space really well

    The Hank Hill model is a very faithful recreation for sure.

    You got the familiar badge! The first music piece in the portfolio has an old vibe to it, and the major 9ths in the chords help with the nostalgic feeling.

    The animations have very good comedic timing, and the humor is well placed.

    Detailed – Your 2D & 3D work is really strong and very detailed, but also your audio work is super thorough! There are so many little details in the skit & the Mechanarium scene and the layering in the music are all really impressive!

    Explanation: I love the audio in that last one, I can’t put it into words but it just works very well 🙂

    I always like the unexpected puns like the one on the whiskey bar video, gave me a good laugh.
