giant robot cars and internships.

So animatic for my flash class we're doing opening motion graphics for a movie this is just one that I've made up and it's about a robot car that comes to earth... ruining a perfect Saturday. It's going to go with my fictitious movie poster for my maya class. Then if I like these guys I'm a gonna cell animate a 3-5 minute short that goes with the whole "B" movie film that I intend.

Also have an interview for internship oppertunity that pays really well and includes houseing and it goes from the week after my 21 birthday until the week before a convention that my collegues and I usually attend so timing is perfect.

well enjoy the animatic

So this was just my color drop for my last illustration studio class aesops fable related (fox and the crab)... I'm putting up the comp instead of the final because the final has more wrong with it than the comp because the art direction was for me to ignr somethings and I was like k and then in the final crit they were like why don't you have that there and I was like "k, i'll fix it" so what evs...

I haven't updated anything on here in a while because I forgot about it <_<

I've realized a bit about my illustration so far in 2010. Mainly because I got my junior review back and it said to do more of the heavily inked drawings with watercolor on top and so I'm going to go back to that pretty much full time for my print stuff I think I am going to work in wet media a bit more but that's really going to happen over the summer for studdies and stuff I acctually have a lot of painting I wanna do over the summer between moving, work, and flash stuff for my internship.

I'm really excited about my art right now too! it's kinda odd and I haven't done anything that'll has blown my own mind but I'm feeling more comfortable with what I'm doing and the path I'm taking. I just need to do more storyboards... but I can do that a) while working on childrens book stuff. b) finding scripts on the internet and just drawing... I've sceen some really shitty professional storyboards so it makes me feel better about myself.

Last thing is that my electives for next year is cartooning and humorous illustration with Charlie Beyl mainly because I do really enjoy his cartoons and he's really skilled with inks and has done a lot of really cool things in his professional life... and i would like to have a more traditional print class with him since all I've had him for is digital studio classes.
the other elective i'm taking is childrens book illustration. which I've already taken but I want to write and illustrate a more serious book on the revolutionary war. I'm going to need to take photo referance before the school year ends of people so I need to figure out exactly where I want people positioned and what I'm going to cover about the revolutionary war. I'm also going to get most of the work done over the summer so that my work load will be fairly light since I'm not positive how I want to work in the motion graphics studio. I'm hoping to take some sort of film lite class.

I don't know it's 2:30 I'm just saying words but I'm really content with myself and excited for my future in art.

Weasel sketches

2009-09-13T19:30:00.000-07:00

Tracing paper sketches for my Studio Illustration 3 class is something with weasels as a group being called a sneak and gotta show them being sneaky... I don't really like I'm not really an animal person so I don't know animals that I don't really like. Thus when doing thumbnails in class all the weasels looked like teh stoopid versions of the weasels in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (best movie ever) and teacher man was like use these compositions and get some reference.

So... volia I have. I need to work a bit more on number 1 but its hard since he said to work at a quarter size and there kinda small and close together that and I need to just draw some more weasles until the styleization comes out naturaly or I can do a half sized image of it and I'll have more room to work out the kinks.

Number 2 was a bit of an imprompt to thing... I was told after doing the thumb nails that weasels eat eggs of other animals. Stealing eggs that aren't yours... very sneaky so I did a fast doodle before class ended and was told to go abit farther with it and so here it is he's in a hollowed out tree trunk that you see in woods a lot just lying on the ground. No value so you can't really tell...

For number 3 I did have a friend in high skool who had a weasel as a pet I thought it was a ferret but yesterday she informed me that it was actually was a weasel. That and you know at toy store that have the "wobbling weasels" or whatever they're called that are attached to the balls yeah that's basicly theses guys trying to escape from their domestic fortress.

Yep still in the sketching working out phase so any critiques will be much apreciated! ^__^

So I don't usually do fan art type stuff because I'm not too good at mimicking others styles. I wanted to do a piece with aliens at stone henge 'cause its a widely known fact that Aliens are the ones who created stone henge. Magnezone which is the alien being used, is one of my favorite pokemon ever. Why? Because I can make bad star wars puns when I use them in battles or in card game form. "That's no pokemon that's a space station". Things like that work really well. I wanna retweak the grass 'cause it looks a bit organized... and grass isn't nessisarily chaotic but it's organic and not really organized.

Yes so here ya go photoshop cs3 and illustrator cs3

So I haven't been as good with the Illustration Weekly as I wanted to be but I was working on some other things that I've been wanting to work on before the semester starts up again.

Colored pencil and the snake has the mouse wrapped...

My Life

2009-07-31T02:52:00.000-07:00

So I had to organize my music because iTunes is made of fail and so I got to listen to a lot of Everclear (because they are my favorite band and I legally have all the songs they've ever recorded in my music Library ) and listening to them all made me remember why I hearted them so much. It's becuase at lest there first three albums remind me a whole lot of my childhood and my teenagedom and so I plan on getting some of those songs that I can relate to the most and illustrate my own life with the song lyrics. This is my new task It's going to take some time since well I have other project that come before it and the fall semmester will be approaching soon though provided that they didn't split our Illustration class I will have Friday's off which is a good thing. And I'll be able to do things for this Everclear project.

So just a quick self portrait with a shark hat and sunglasses on done in crayon an a single watercolor wash.

The reason that I even did this is because I've been wanting to do a reportage illustration with people in crayon (kinda gestural but at the same time fairly tight so its legible) then a watercolor background that's super tight. I just wanted to make sure I could get the effect that I wanted out of the technique first. It's not exactly what I wanted but its close enough that I think that I'll be able to pull off what my mind intends me to do...

Works in Progress

2009-07-11T13:52:00.000-07:00

Water color of my boyfriend and myself that I'm working on just for fun I accidentally used hot press water color paper instead of the cold press so its taking a lot longer than it should because I don't want it to look overworked.

Not really too far at all on this one but its just kids looking at ice cream at a place like maggy moos or coldstone one of those types of deals and its really fun to look at all the different expressions that kids make when checking out ice cream. It's either going to be done as a watercolor or a gauche painting I still haven't made up my mind but it will deffinately be on streched coldpress water color paper 'cuase I strech everything I do.

This is just a preliminary sketch for an ink drawing I'm going to be doing on Bristol which a bamboo quill thingy just a few class makes trying to figure out where we're going on the subway.

Just something silly I've been wanting to play with and its "Narwhals Inventors of the Shish Kabob" where you have a narwhal was a street vendo and a fish buying a shish kabob. Going to be done with prismacolor markers 'cause this is just something silly and I'm not afraid to take a risk. That and haven't work with markers as much as I was hoping to this summer.

Thats it for the works in progress leave any crits you want in the comments I'd appreciate it.
