Brittanie Vector-Complete!!

For Digital Illustration.

jesuschristihatethisfreakinassignment....................................


Finally done... w00t. I've spent days working on this and I'm still not completely satisfied... but whatev's. I've got a paper to write now, and less than 24 hours to do it....

I've have some experience vectoring this but this was my first time vectoring something realistically and in Adobe Illustrator CS3. It was super hard to do on top of the fact that I started to get rather anal about it...

Brittanie " is one of my animation buddies. She's made of cute and her animations are bound to put a smile on your face. "

Sketch: See previous post

Brittanie Sketch

To be vectored in Illustrator CS3.

This is one of my animation buddies. She's made of cute and her animations are bound to put a smile on your face.

EDIT:

Also, here's a sketch of the parasol that's going to be part of the pattern background in the final.

Swirl, Vector, Swirl, Swirl, plus a happy accident

Abstract vector piece done for Digital Illustration. Created in Illustrator CS3.

We had to make an abstract picture using the vector brushes we made.

I kinda hate drawing realistic stuff in Illustrator, but it's super fun making totally crap in it... :D

EDIT:



Hey, Blogger did a super weird thing... It changed the color of my work (on the left) into the one on the right. So I inverted the colors of that one to make the one in the middle.

Cool! :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...

Made of WIN- Quite Literally

I won the award for "Achievement in Animation" at the 2009 SunDeis Film Festival! w00t!

For the video follow previous post...

Super Special Awesome!!

My movie, The First of May got nominated for three awards at the Sundeis Film Festival! And while I know it's a small festival I can't help but feel super excited! It's a honor just to be nominated!

Achievement in Animation, Best Documentary, and Best Film. Yay!

DO NOT watch it HD... it makes the video and audio act weird...

PSA Animatic-- DeAnimation

Low Quality.... whatever :P



For my first Animation 4 assignment: To create a Public Service Announcement (PSA).

My PSA will act as a self-promotional video for THIS blog! :D

Hopefully, a Berklee student will be adding a musical score and sound effects to the animatic and final animation.

This was a bit of a difficult process... For one, I've never had to do an animatic more than twice for one project. In addition this process also involved one of the most intense critiques I've ever been a part of... It was pretty brutal. O__O

Oh holy crap.....

"In the name of the Moon...."



Me and my buddy Rebecca are getting a table at Anime Boston this year.

I thought during Spring break I should try and churn out as many popular anime based drawings as possible. Boy, does this ever take me back...

Anyway, if there are any suggestions you have for what Anime series I should do fanart for, PLEASE let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

Also, if there are any pieces in my DA gallery that you would like to be available as prints at Anime Boston PLEASE let know that as well

Thanks!

WTF Kitty???

To see the original sketch, go one post down.


Okay, not gonna lie... this was a bit of a bitch to do... If there are a ton of grammatical errors sorry... it's almost 3 am...

I've never used the pen tool to do ANYTHING before, so... yeah....

But on the bright side I learned how use paths and the pen tool in Photoshop

I think it came out okay.... ....... I do!

The Pen tool…. ??? Seriously? No.

I can barely make a crappy pear shape with the pen tool in Photoshop, now I gotta do this??


No freakin' way...

First Page: Spring 2009

I finally got a new sketchbook I fill one up every semester.

I realized that sometimes there is a bit of stress to have the first page of your sketch book look good so I've decided to mark it as such.

Juice is there for no apparent reason, and because in reality he's a juice cell, you shouldn't even be able to see him. That's why Tigger asks her question...

I love Mr. Bon-Bon back there... all cute and pudgy, eating his carrot

"The Brand New You" DONE -for now-

---Am I kool now? -FinaL---



For my Digital Illustration collage assignment.

The assignment is based on the article we read, called "The Brand New You", which talks about our society's obsession with brands and labels.

I don't think this came out too well... I had tons of headaches... such as layer management... I mean I used close to 40 layers... I think

"The Brand New You" WIP

----Am I kool now?-----


Work in Progress for an assignment for Digital Illustration called "The Brand New You". A collage assignment.

My style seems rather Jamie Hewlett-esqe in this picture... Oh well...

I like the Munny on her head... I really want one.

Apple Still Life-- digital

My first speed painting wasn't very speedy... ack

Another piece for Digital Illustration. We had to get really up close and personal to a piece of fruit (or vegetable) we picked and digitally paint it.

A lot of prep work went into this: 15 thumbnails, color and value studies... naa, I looks cool though.

I'm rather proud of this piece though I know I'm gonna get pwn'd by everyone else on Tuesday...

Bird Calls w/o BG sound

I actually just finished it this week! :P



Finally finshed! Well the animation portion is....

I'm going to be working with a Berklee student to add background sounds and possibly music to this animation. I'll put up that version when it's finished.

My second to last animation for my Animation III class is probably the most production heavy assignment I've done yet... :P

The assignment was to go to and create an animation based on an artist with sound found on the website. I picked "Birdcalls" (God knows why...) by photographer Lousie Laweler.

This assignment is about 1 minute and 30 seconds of hand drawn animation, full of composting, over layering movements, and 3 extremely annoying women making bird calls for no apparent reason.

The original animatic:

New year, new art... blah

My main major is Animation but I thought I'd take an Illustration course as well.



For my Digital Illustration assignment I started yesterday. We had to create a monster.

We were pretty much told to not think too much about creating it and just go with it... Unfortunately, I started thinking too much and couldn't come up with anything.

So thank you to my buddies Jasmine and Jelisa for making me get over myself, and telling me to scribble randomly with a Sharpie and some pens until came up with this... Knaarllli. My mom came up will the name

I actually like this a lot.

Blair Character Sheet: Final

Well... It's done...



I really shouldn't have spent so much time on this, as I am really killed for time... :P

Anyway, I hope my teacher likes it somewhat... that way I won't cry...

I'll be putting up the animation "So some Guy walks in a bar" (where Blair is from) hopefully soon, so you can see her in action.

He asked for a simple character sheet........

Why do I do this to myself!?!?!?

My Character Animation teacher asked for a simple character sheet and I go for the complicated color in Flash route...

...when I KNOW I am not the most computer savvy person when it comes to digital coloring... I mean that's why I'm taking digital illustration courses next semester...

Anyway here's my Work In Progress... Looks rather crappy......

Animation In Progress- Bird Calls part 2- Characters

"Bird Chicks" the main characters for my upcoming animation, "Bird Calls"



The woman in the middle is based off the only picture I found of photographer, Louise Lawler. At least I think that's her...

The designs for the other two just popped into my head while drawing the Animatic (check the post below) so I decided to run with it...
