Keeping myself busy during the summer!

(It's so hard to choose colors!!! I swear this is narrowed down from a gajillion choices.)

end of year/films

I had a great time this year, especially with feeling the feeling of finishing a film.

I'm so excited for next year, I've already been tossing and turning at night with thinking of my next one!!

I thought a lot about the Producer's Show this year and what it means to me. I've seen for two years now only a handful of great films get shown in the spotlight at the Academy for prestigious studios to see, while the rest of highly-qualified films get little to no attention. On top of that, we get no feedback whatsoever from our judges--the faculty--no matter if we've gotten picked or not. Every film was made with tremendous amount of work and sacrifice, and it breaks my heart to see them not get love from eyes that missed them.

Here are some of my favorites that didn't show at the Producers' Show:

APOCALYPSE BROTHERS

And there it is! My second year film! Enjoy, everybody!!

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!

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

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!
