Dress up time!!

I can't believe I used to do this to my cat, and she still loves me like 10+ years later. The colors are a *bit* all over the place, but thats what i get for not thinking it out all the way. Onward to the next project with much better colors!

A little fix

Made some color changes and found the building shadow layer!! I lose layers in photoshop from time to time...

Speed Painting!!

I'm trying to get better!

I love fall!! and all the colors and flavors that come with it!! (I'm talking to you pumpkin spice coffee) 

Just a quick little doodle to get warmed up...

I draw everyday, but most of the stuff I do just stays in my sketchbook as rough sketches. I was gonna make this prettier and more polished, but I AM TIRED! as shown in this picture of me, with my protein shake in hand, I am ready for another super long day!

Some Crazy High Tides

For this project, we were given the topic of environmental changes or something green to that effect. I chose to focus on rising water levels and decided to do some concept art about a little town that over the years they had to keep moving up the mountain, eventually surviving mostly on a city supported by stilts!

If only I could get my printer to print it like this. it does for the most part except the bottom is WAYY too black.

But ink is expensive and I give up for today.

My Junior Year Animation!!

For my second to last animation class, I had to do a full little animation, and here it is!!! It was an insanely rough semester, I was battling the insanity that is a normal junior year, then throw in a minor, and then make that minor animation!!!!! anyone that knows animation knows how time consuming and painful it is. Ok, I always complain about animation, but despite my annoyance of the medium, somehow I really do love it!

So here is my final animation: https://vimeo.com/67650836

There would be a ton of stuff I would change on it now, but for the time I had to realistically work on it I'm pretty happy with it! I was also approached to have this play in a movie theater in Philadelphia that features local artists!! That would be so exciting!!

Also, here is the animatic: https://vimeo.com/71839471

I love animatics...I like seeing how storyboards turn into a little movie.

and I'm not sure if I posted these before, but here are the first sketches for my film! I started out just drawing my fat kitty:

This is what I come home to everyday, her sitting in the middle of the hallway waiting for her food. It looks like something out of a horror movie and I thought she might jump on me and start slashing me with her claws if I didn't feed her.

She's a happy fat cat :)

some sketches on the ipad....

Something Old....

The one thing I like about art school, even the liberal arts classes involve art! Last semester I took a music class about the blues, and it was really interesting...and we even learned about Elvis! And if we drew a picture we got 3 pages off our final paper. WIN!

I did this as a speed painting like an hour before class....and I'm pretty happy with it...minus the chin...it should be more round like the king's chin...

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Make some delicious lemonade!!!

I like this one...and I'm sad kids are too lazy to do this in my neighborhood because I could go for some lemonade right now.

Second Illustration of the Group

The second of the 8 illustrations I need to get done for Thursday. Oh boy. I must make the other 6 more simple!! These are spot illustrations, I need to not be as ambitious.

Hopefully they will get done....
