it's been a bit

Not that I haven't done anything, it's just I haven't done anything I find worth too much posting. Cept a few things. My senior project is technically done, hurrah. Only problem is there is no sound to it, which is most unfortunate. Got some scenes though.


This isn't from the film, it's just something I did. Fun times? Uploaded kinda pixely.


Character Design of Chaxx, Radjulon's tiger fellow. He makes me smile. This was ideally done to show I can have more detailed stuff and not be so cartoony, but of course he ended a bit stylized. I still like him though. I did research on indian warriors, and thus is Chaxx.












This was a doll that I made for my friend Kelli's website and cards. It suppose to have that creepy genre. I want a doll like it :(

More updates on Radj

Radj evolves all the time, Darwin has nothing on her.

I haven't posted in a while which is sad. It's not because I'm not doing anything, it's cause I'm not actually FINISHING anything :/.

I'm working on it.

more stuff

sooo, some stuff I've been doing. Christmas picture included, one for lawls. and an uncomplete size chart, need to add 4 more characters.

The Candy Well

I actually have been doing a lot of stuff this winter, I just haven't completely finished every thing. But I have finished this, which I'm pretty happy with. I'm working on a new story, actually kid friendly, hurrah, difference. But yea it's full of kitty's and people and dancing and pies! Nasty lil dream pies. It's rather fun, and a request from my sister. So yea.

HE'S OLD! he lived in a van down by the river!!

He's a cockney geezer!! No I like him, originally it was meant for something else but that person said it wasn't really what he was looking for...at all lol, so in such case, the old man is mine now. I think I can think of something for him, he makes me smile. I'm gunna shave his head though, make him bald. Because all the good crazies are bald.

Mai Maquettes!!

Thanks to Nolans super dupery handy dandy (freakisly cute and little) camera, I now have pictures of my maquettes!!
Thanks Nolan :-D
So here they are, Pixie, Sophie and Barrett (in that order).
To see everyone else's awesome maquettes, visit the Temple of Cartoon Mojo in my links :-3

And the rest

Okay so. Now that I have shown them in class, I'll post the rest of my little band. hoorah.
I don't have pictures of my Maquettes because I don't have a camera :-(. Sorry. I might be able to post them up some day though, along with Jiggie, cause she still makes my heart smile. Probably cause she was my first one XD. While she does indeed have flaws in her, she still is Pirate :-3. We must stick together lol.
Everyone did a super awesome job though, seriously. I felt so official in there XD. So, good job all ye character design people :-D

And then followed the pug

So Sophie is now done. Pixie's maquette is painted and some of Barrett is.

finished finished pixie

Okay so Pixie is DONE! set!
Finito!! I got her maquette cooked and ready to prime and paint (to which I'll do tomorrow with Barrett) and that is...out of the way :-). I also have most of Sophie's stuff colored, but I haven't made her maquette yet cause I ran out of epoxy puddy. Hopefully Nolan will have some in class tommorrow 0.0. Then I can start on her Armature. Then I'll have alllll that out of the way! Hoorah! So really all I have left is barrett's action sheet, the undesigned child's stuff and a lineup!
not too bad XD

precolored action sheets

last update for the day! Hoorah.
honestly, I ADORE the cleanup system Nolan showed us, I just can't get the coloring to my liking :-(
Probably cause I'm use to like...ULTRA SHADING.
That's my guess anyway, cause I'm not that bad at coloring, just when I try coloring with different tools ^^;;

Sophie!

Rapid updates!
Now I have three turn arounds done! Excitement! I don't know if I'll be able to do all the other things though :-( Coloring Sophie took longer then I thought 0.0. She does have more to color, plus I accidently merged the layers before I did cuts and well...prolonged the process.

Much Better

Yay for fat lines??
I dunno. In any case, I'm pretty happy with it now. So I got 2 out of 4 turn around completely done. Lets see how far I go today!
The goal is to have at least all 3 action sheets and turn arounds completely done, and hopes to finish up the stupid child eventually (I'm having issues with him). But if I can finish the band, then I can start my maquettes, which is great cause I'm like....horrible at them, and I want to do all three....
Luck please?

Barrett the drumer!!

Not sure how I feel on this coloring method. It's defiantly different, and it looks nice, but all the pixels while I'm coloring is very distracting to my brain 0.0. On another note. This is the colored version of Barrett's turn around. I've been going on minimal sleep for the past few days now and I meant to come back to the dorm to take a nap...and ended up coloring :-D! Thus goes the life of me.
So I might nap now, or feel lazy and do some action poses or re-design Sophie, or better yet...mayhaps some psychology homework. But that'll probably be delayed till I watch Colbert as always, it's almost a type of classical conditioning, do your psychology homework, get to watch Colbert.

Anyway, there's Barrett.

Cleaned up Character Design

Hooray for unfinished character sheets!! They aren't colored yet, in the fact that I wanted to color them in the way that Nolan showed me, unfortunately my brain didn't get past the clean up part, I remember the mask...but not entirely the before and after of that lol. Luckily he said he'd give us some tutorials later, so all is well. Anyway, back on topic, these are my character designs for my OCs in the class (though I think we only needed one...as a group they ARE one. I just blew your mind!).
They are based off my precious babies at home (my pets are indeed my babies) and I hope the personality comes threw pretty well based off their poses/design. Though Sophie is a bit weak, but honestly her personality is just food driven....and attention at that. I don't think dogs have quite so much personality as cats do, that or I have some seriously crazy cats. They do think they are human >.> Which is why it was pretty easy to depict them ^^.

As far as maquette goes though....I can't decide if I want to do them all...or one, I might just be a busy beaver.

Attack of Radj

Because I'm absolutely procrastinating and it's lovely outside (raining), honestly, I just want to stay in and lay in bed ^^. Love the rain. Anyway, I did this during the summer, right after Shawn gave me a full adoration of the quill pen. I always thought I would hate the thing cause of the whole dipping junk, but when I actually tried it, it was very nice! Granted, the only one I really like is Speedball 7 cause it's nice and bendy like a brush (though I hate inking with brushes) unlike the others. Way too stiff. Anyway I figured that I have Rad in my little icon, but I could show the whole thing :-).
Colored in Corel IX, cause that is my main source of awesome, mostly cause my Photoshop is kinda funky for some reason.

Also, a bunch of other fun Rad pictures, this way I can post something new next time :-D! Like my Character Design people.

(Look how much she changes 0.0 I need some continuity)

Character Fun

Well, back at the dorms with my ever so precious scanner. And I have scanned many things. I'm thinking I would very much like a bigger one though, cause putting together four images to make one large one (for my line up) doesn't work so well. So please bare that in mind, it may no all match up evenly...especially the dread pirates hat.

The second image is my persona in a tasty turnaround. If it were to be actually graded I'd probably add a 3/4 view, cause I'm cool like that lol.

Breaking in.

Hello there :-)

I figured it was about time for me to have a blog with actual point and meaning. What better meaning then what I'm pretty much good for, drawing :-D. This will pretty much set not only a visual view of (hopefully) improvement but also a cool way to show what I'm working on via school or personal projects. I know I always get a few questions here and there about my stuff, and referring people to my DA all the time can be a bit tedious, so hopefully this'll help. Layout will be bound to change soon by the way, I hate plain templates :-). Just a matter or getting my old HTML habits back into drive eh?

Anyway, for my first post I suppose I'll put down one of my first successful character sheets, I did it a couple years ago, but gosh darn it I still love it so ^^ new posts as soon as I get back in my dorm! <3
