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:

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!

Crow quill pen madness! June 2009

Hello, and welcome to another fun compilation of sketch drawings coming straight from my brain, to discounted paper, to your computer!
These, my friends, are crow quill pens. (And that, behind them, is my mug and the chaos that is my room. ...Yes, that is a Squirtle pillow. And a night light. Anyway--)
To my relief, crow quill pens are not at all feathers torn from the fellows, but rather metal nibs on plastic handles!
And boy, are these magical. Below you can see the difference between using my former favorite, and these bad boys!


Anise! And she's got a super cool gyroplane to take everywhere! <333
(This was done with my pilot pen, so you can see overall that they're very uniform lines. I love practicing my fast lines with these.)



Anise taking a ride! Whoo!! This was done with my now beloved crow quill pen! Very first attempt in history, so it's a tad messy. Look at how I can make such itty bitty lines on the same size paper!! /geekout.
I'm very set on coloring this sometime soon.


Anise havin' a drink with Daal. I was trying to figure out what kind of clothes bats would wear, but it just doesn't work! I guess bats will generally walk around naked :0


I had a story in mind for a couple years now, but that story is becoming Anise's... So I gotta figure something out for these two! I'm still pretty attached to 'em, you know?





Turnaround of the girl. Her name's Ioneta! It's a funky mix of a Greek name and the word violet. I like it for her, don't you? :D


It's tough digging through the colors to see what she'll wear, but I think I definitely got her eyes and hair.


She's gonna kick you in the behind!


Drew her in semi-realism for fun.


And finally, a layout for my portfolio website! I love sweets too much :B

Update May 13 2009!

Yay for new batch!

Person in my life drawing class making a funny pose.


My raccoon and bat people have names now! The raccoon is Anise...

And the bat is Daal! ^___^ Yaaaaaaaayyy~

My fluffpup Teddy :3 He's sleepin' in his doghouse on a warm day.

My sister got stung by a bee for the fourth time! Her hand swelled up like mad crazy o_o So naturally, I HAD to draw it. xD
Turns out every time you get stung, the reaction to the sting gets worse.

My sis lazing around. God, she's so myspace. :P

So this is someone new. He's a baby male chick who's escaped what would have been an ill fate, experienced by many of his kind. For reals. My friends liked the word REFUGEE and unanimously agreed that be the name for him, and I'm kinda warming up to that idea :)

Woo! I shared my new crayons with my classmate Katie (sp?) and we got to lotsa chatting :D
She imagines herself as a wolfy raccoon, and requested I draw a quick sketch of her as a wolf!

Some more refined designs, and I thought the name Kombu would be fitting!


So there you have it! Tune in next time! I will most likely be uploading part of my official portfolio, for which I will create another blog ^^
Bye bye! <3

Update (More creative stuff.)

Here are some more select pages from my sketchbook! These are rather brainstormy...

A random duck, who likes to wear a wetsuit!


These are some of the first concepts for my raccoon girl. She's a feisty one! But she still has no name :(


...And suddenly she knows karate. *sigh* Why am I not surprised?
Here I'm trying to find out her colors, now that I know somewhat what I want her to look like. Yay, hats and stuff!


Before I had her in a more golden color, I was imagining her and Ricotta making (vegan) brownies. Yeah.... Ricotta is like, completely symmetrical except for his left leg! What's with that!? I don't know. *Shrugs*


And now I want to make a bat person! I'm not satisfied until I get her right!
She's an erratic individual, as you can probably tell.


Look at her! What a show off. She's a lover of theatrics. By the way, she told me she's purple. How fitting.


Some height comparisons between the three. (This is also where she told me she's purple.)


I wanna give my raccoon girl some clothes! Ouuuch--Did she just sit on pins!? Who did that?


Here's my witch lady friend, putting some things away in her Mary Poppins bag. She's not very careful with her things, is she?


Theatrical bat girl trying to get some shut-eye at home. Just can't put down that iPod. That's her grandma on the right, barely able to shriek: "You're going to ruin your EARS, young lady."


Ricotta being Ricotta. Oh and some hipster chicken talking to a hipster worm. (And that's a classmate up on the left.)
