Ben and Ink

I'm Ben Ravid and I study animation at SJSU. Check out my posts, we'll laugh, cry, and maybe learn a little something along the way.

Just remembered I never uploaded my last computer mouse drawing I did before my project was scrapped. This was going to be my recipe for steak in peppercorn sauce. . . . . . . . . . #food #dinner #lunch #eatup #steak #meat #veggies #potato #meatandpotatoes #yum #digital #color #digitalart #design #mouseart #pattern #saucy #animator #animators https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzi5S3-gSHw/?igshid=1n6b8hw8tn162

The second of the computer mouse illustrations I did for my scrapped project. This one is chicken karaage with rice and broccoli. That squeeze of lemon for acidity. . . . . . . . . . #food #lunch #bento #karaage #eatup #instaart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalpainting #japan #japanesefood #mouseart #restaurant #takeout #izakaya #barfood #hungryobsession https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQ5IFLAPXQ/?igshid=1sxid11z7mca8

I did a series of food illustrations using only the computer mouse for a now scrapped project at my work before getting laid off. I liked them so I saved them off my computer before leaving. . . . . . . . . #break #meal #mousedrawing #illustration #drawings #art #exjob #food #baconeggandcheese #baconandeggs #berries🍓 #mostimportantmealoftheday #animationart #digitalart #digital #goodmorning https://www.instagram.com/p/BzOKYvfg1ao/?igshid=1d6w4yyu3sdsk

My latest animation for the deck of many animated spell cards is...SLEEP! This one was a PAIN tracking all those stripes but I really like how it turned out. . . . . . . . . #sleep #sleepy #spell #spells #witch #witchcraft #magic #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragonsart #dungeonmaster #dungeonmasterlife #tabletop #game #games #roleplay #fantasy #mage #wizard #art #animationart #animation #ink #digital #flashanimation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-PWxGltBI/?igshid=ev6f2og1okqi

Next up for the animations I’ve done for the deck of many animated spell cards is the spell bane! Did you know it has a special paralysis sub effect if you’re playing as Batman? https://www.instagram.com/p/BvezTzaFRwY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zchmssyc4ss0

Another spell I’ve done for the deck of many animated spell cards! This one is magic mouth and maybe my favorite one to do so far just because it’s fun and goofy and simple :) . . . . . . . . . #spell #magic #artistsoninstagram #art #nerd #nerdy #fantasy #wizard #sorcerer #witch #mage #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragonsart #dungeonmaster #cards #animation #artist #artoftheday #fun #digital #digitalart #tabletop #tabletopgames #funny https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUiRz3FSWM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mtocpb4ln0dy

Here is the second spell I ended up doing for the deck of many animated spell cards Kickstarter project. It’s such a fun project to work on. This one is the spell mending. Warning it won’t work on a broken skull. . . . . . . . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragonsart #spell #magic #wizard #mage #sorcerer #witch #fantasy #games #tabletop #art #myart #animation #picoftheday #artistsoninstagram #design #digital #ink #graphicdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR6ZFTFHtI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qic30cslinn3

Hey so I finally decided to upload some of the freelance I’ve been doing for the deck of many animated spell cards Kickstarter project! It’s a lot of work doing it in addition to a full time job but I LOVE the project. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQA3nBF55C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sxvxmpm7ycov

I saw the #spidersona trend going around and how could I not contribute?? The biggest challenge for me is my attachment to the classic suit makes it hard to think of changes. But I’ll probably do some more spidersonas hehehe. . . . . . . . . . . #spiderman #spidermanintothespiderverse #spidergwen #milesmorales #spidermanps4 #spidermanhomecoming #marvel #peterparker #comics #art #digitalart #myart #graphicdesign #ink #pen #animation #sony #sonyanimation https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5nrE2hln8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qowlb791f4o4

A rejected concept for the spell “mending” for the deck of animated spells. It may not be used in the final version, but I still liked this one so it will at least live on Instagram. . . . . . . . #magic #spells #spell #wizard #mage #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonmaster #tabletopgames #rpg #deckofmanythings #fantasy #animation #art #design #myart #effectsanimation #fxanimation #fx #nerd #nerdy https://www.instagram.com/p/BpwCKPvhsR4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tu455bjckhrh

Took an hour to do personal art instead of sleeping because I haven’t done any in like half a month.

“Turn one willing creature you touch into a mist like cloud for the duration” So instead of inktobers this year, I’ve been brought on as a freelancer to do animations for an amazing Kickstarter called the deck of many animated spells. This is the rough for the test they gave me! . . . . . . . . . #animation #magic #spell #spells #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragonsart #rogue #elf #fantasy #dungeonmaster #cloud #transmutation #illusion #art #myart #ink #games #tabletop #cards #design https://www.instagram.com/p/BohKTCFhcdc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l6s5cv5ueo5y

A new fanart of those good balance boys I did! This one took me a few days, but I’m pretty happy with hour it came out! I tend to avoid doing pieces with multiple characters so I’m very happy with the results :) .. . . . . . . . . . . #theadventurezone #mcelroybrothers #travismcelroy #griffinmcelroy #justinmcelroy #clintmcelroy #taako #taakotaaco #magnus #merle #bureauofbalance #pictureday #fantasy #podcast #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonmaster #d20 #magic #wizard #fighter #cleric #mage #elf #dwarf #art #myart #ink #digitalart #digitalartist #design #graphicdesign #game #games #tabletop https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHA064hEOs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q8ks8t8ffflw

I realized it’s been a WHILE since I did any sort of venom fan art. As my favorite comic book villain/ sometimes hero/anti hero he deserves it. . . . . . . . . . #marvel #marvelcomics #spiderman #spidermanps4 #spidermanhomecoming #avengers #comics #comic #venom #symbiote #spider #fight #superhero #villain #characterdesign #art #ink #digitalart #pen #myart #color #picoctheday
