Went sketchin'

...and this was the result (just looking at people around the mall).




...aaand some stuff outta my head (kinda oldish, but felt like uploading it).

Art dump

Here are some various Visual Development roughs. The first is the interior of a treehouse, and the second is a kitchen design based on Gary Soto's short stories. I'm going to redo these over break, so we'll see how they'll improve.




I also had to design a leprechaun for the Spartan Daily.


Some weird scribbles with a self portrait thrown in for good measure. Yeah~

Stupid dog

Fairly old... I keep thinking I will finish this, but truth be told, the more I fiddle with it the less complete it feels, so I'm just going to end it here.
More and more I keep leaning towards character design. But I think I'll keep practicing Viz Dev for now (which I'm finally taking this semester), and see where that takes me.

Flash art~

Here are some character designs and clean-up I did in Flash 8.0.


Also, we got a new kitten! We named him Canaan... mostly because he is a light golden tabby, and it reminded us of milk and honey, so we decided to name him after the land of milk and honey.
And I swear, at this moment, I am going to kill him, because he keeps jumping up on the dinner table and stealing food. No matter how many times I squirt him with water, he simply won't stop. >.<

Yeah, I decided to post up a bunch of my old pencil tests, as rough and beginner as they may be. I still don't know if I want to become a character animator or not. At any rate...

This is a sack pantomine from last year. Very simple, but decent considering this was my first semester ever truly animating.

The next assignment was to make a cat jump. Oh yes, the cat will jump, for that is what he'll do.



Finally, we had a weekend to put together a pencil test of whatever we wanted to animate. I never fully finished it, and the last half is just keys, but I still like the first half. It's pretty stupid, though.



At the moment of this post, I have ten more days to finish my final 30 second film (which is rapidly become 30+ seconds, but I digress... >.<). I'll post that up once it's "finished", although I plan on working on it over winter break so maybe I can have it finalized next semester. Wish me luck! :3

Exercise in class where we had to make a matte medium collage using bits of our own artwork. I didn't feel like printing out anything special, so I used some leftover photocopies of figure studies and on-site gestures as my bits.

Pastel Sketches

I've always liked the texture of pastels, so I've been trying to improve myself in that medium. Here are a few 'successful' pastel sketches. They're all either drawn from observation or using imagination.
