My name is David Ward (“Dave”). I’m originally from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, where I went to High School and College. I received my Bachelor of Arts with Graphic Design emphasis on December 17, 2005. I’ve been living in the Tulsa area since April of 2006, and have been working as a Graphic Web Designer.

I really enjoy doing 3D modelling and animation; and though I have no professional experience with it, I have been learning and using it as a hobby for the past seven years or so. My most recent study is building complex skeletons (rigging) for my models. All of the videos in my [website's] video section were created and edited solely by me.

OverHeated

Ketchup with a Kick

      Quite humorous. The animation quality is pretty decent. The characters have that cartoon attitude to them. You are doing good things, David Ward.

      These are fantastic. Most of the animations I’ve seen of the same length or quality usually have really slow movements. I think Dave Ward really understands animated realism. These videos are a pleasant change from the usual ones that are unfortunately boring and sluggish, despite having technical merit. Ward’s vids have a great mix of everything, good movement, sound, great audio. Good concepts for the length of the projects. I love the rust on the car.

      I’m kind of tired of the cliche karate fight, but even so, great job!

      David did a great job on these. I remember the first 2 from the AnimClip challenges over at AnimWatch. Nice to see the Katchup one… nicely done all around.

      Very talented guy!

      Nice work Dave. Overheated is easily my favourite of the 3 anims. You should do more with that character, or at least a character with that voice and attitude.

      Good hair tutorial on your website too.
