A sketch, I guess~

I wasn't going to post this here, but I like the way it looks... :)

DTV 2???

I'm trying to come up with ideas for a sequel to my 2010 Degree Project film, DTV. I want to start script writing and storyboarding it in the near future. I think it'll be super fun!

I really need to officially post the process work of DTV 1 on here from my Degree Project blog... In retrospect, creating an alternate blog for my film was not the greatest idea... I'll have to get on top of that...

Also, I'm trying to work on style tests because I want the second film to have a different look and feel as well as more control, (ie: getting rid of a lot technical problems from the first film).

This is the first style test I did and I'm not all to fond of it... I don't like how Flash registers my lines, however, I learned that I could change the the settings in Flash to not alter your pencil strokes. That style test is in the post above.

This is the new theme for this blog. I’ve been meaning to make one for a while now. It’s partially based off of a dream I’ve had many times. I want to draw more of my dreams… It is also a partial self-portrait.

"Truthfully, I was afraid for to complete this picture for a number of reasons I currently cannot disclose. However, I pressed on for the sheer drive of creativity, while also striving for individuality… I don’t know if I succeeded, but one thing’s for sure: Mistakes and all, I am so damn proud of myself for completing this picture and I have absolutely no shame in that. My passions will always push me forward, assuring that I will never give up… ♥"

My friends helped a lot with the thought process of this piece... Thanks guys!

Created in Photoshop CS3 with the pen tool. Took about a week to complete.

I am internally SCREAMING.

This was drawn spontaneously before I started my shift at work. It's more of a representation of the cumulative rage of my emotions about life in general and not based on any particular life event. I don't want folks to worry ;)

Colored in Photoshop CS3, experimenting with textures and shifting color channels.

I just in case you forgot...

Done in Flash CS3

I finally have the time and resources to take on some art commissions. If you're interested, please refer to my deviantART journal for more details :)

My left eye often hurts...

When all attempts of trying to get out of an artistic rut fail, throw ink at it.

Artist In Wonderland Preview: Progress Page 10

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm updating this thing within a month! :O

Go me!! :D

Anyway, I thought I'd share the process work for one of my upcoming comics I'm doing this summer, "Artist In Wonderland". The comic was created for my Narrative Illustration class.



The story is about me as I journey from the real world to Wonderland on a really bad day. The story features me and my friends Amanda Myers, Erika "Rew" Hapke, and Andrew Clapper.


Here's the process work of page 10


First, I drew a crappy little thumbnail drawing of the page. It's about 2 and a half inches in size.



Next, is the bigger thumbnail drawing that maps out the final page. This is about 4 x 5.5 inches in size.



After that, is a clean sketch of the final comic page. The page was drawn at 12 x 16 inches in size.
NOTE: Since this comic was intended to be sketchy (by both my teacher and myself), there is no need to ink the sketch. It can be colored right after this step.



After I scan the picture on to the computer, it's time for coloring! My favorite! I start off with only flat colors.



Then, I add the shadowing. Three layers of shadows were used for this page.



Finally, the highlights. I LOVE shininess!

And there you go! <3


So...What do you think? :D

I'm so unsure but here it goes....

I did a color and ink test for my PSA animation since it was needed. I can definitely ink faster by hand than I can digitally, so I guess that's what I'll be doing for my whole PSA. Not sure about the color but I think I like it. :)


I've been super self-conscious about all of my work lately and I don't know why... I really need to over it... It's super annoying...
