Logan Boutwell: Introduction & Portfolio

Hello everyone, I’m Logan! I’m from the South Shore of Massachusetts, not far from Plymouth or Boston. For my first year at WPI, I was a CS/IMGD BS double major, but I dropped CS. Then, as of last year, I became an IMGD BA, and have enjoyed doing all the classes that I knew I liked more than the tech ones. I have bits and pieces of experience in both 2D art and 3D art, as well as animation in both aspects. I’d like to do some kind of animation for my career, whether that be for games or anything else. I find that I’m much better at 3D animation at the moment. I’m currently working on The Sun is Dead, one of the IMGD MQP’s going on this year. I would like to improve my art in all aspects, but to focus on a few, I’d like to get better at character modeling, making textures, and of course animation and rigging.

Not really anything for a portfolio, but here’s a video I took during my IQP in Taiwan of a town called Jiufen, the place that inspired Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.

    quirky: you use animation as a medium to its fullest potential! it takes a specific eye and talent to be able to push the limits of what a character can do within an animation. the benefit of animating is that you can make things look very extreme, dramatic, and even silly; you have done an excellent job with that.
