Today I just finished all the animation for my film!
I still have lots to do, but the biggest part is completely done! It's like reaching the oasis in the middle of the desert-- this is an awesome day to be sure, but my trip is certainly not over.

Here's a teensy preview!

Demo Reel 2012

something in the letter

I've been working on putting a reel together!
Here's one of my assignments from last semester--totally finished!

My OCD self recently made the realization that it's okay to make sketchy clean-up. *headdesk*
Better late than never I suppose!

More animations coming soon c:

unicorn sparkle

Have a magic pony while I work on my film!

disaster and famine

Just getting reacquainted with the designs of my film characters, and giving them a little more refining!

Disaster, a temperamental bird, bringer of destructive natural phenomena

Famine, a cool-headed canine ghost, silent murderer of both flora and fauna

pretty unicorns

Cherry's gotta grow up sometime, you know!

Happy Leap Day! Leap like a graceful, majestic unicorn today!

just an excuse to spread more love

poster

A poster for my film! I feel so... cinematic or something!

Hope everyone's enjoying the season c:

I've been really into dragons lately, god knows why. It's the nerd in me, I'm sure.

This is my character War!

I'm deciding on his colors right now.

This one might be the winner!

LOVE POWER

First pass animatic for my second year film! Definitely gonna have plenty of changes by the time the semester is over. Wish me luck! c:

(Ehhh, sorry for the weird double-layered sound, my program did something weird....)

PS! I've uploaded some tasty (unfinished) animation treats onto my deviantart!

back in the jungle

It's so great to be back at CalArts!

Here are some roughs for one of the first assignments of the year.

As you can see, I have no idea how to draw a panther.

Research helped me out a whole lot!

I wanted the panther to interact with a small animal, and I chose a bird of paradise.

All finished!

(This one has the underdrawings in it!)
