Thesizing the demons

this is right before the monster gets hit in the face with a laser. kind of like a dog chasing an oncoming car.

luckily, i can't really draw

here are some screenshots for my thesis. i'm putting these particular images up because these were some of the most unmistakably bad inbetweens in the current section of my thesis in production. regardless of how unreadable they are as for what's actually going on, they all made me very happy that they made it into my film. bad drawings really are so much more ambiguous and fun than good drawings ever could be.

(as a sidenote, the fourth drawing isn't even mine, it's by the wonderfully talented kat, who's doing her own brand of great bad drawings in my thesis. with her helping, it's going to be sooooo good. i'm way excited.)

mini failures and mini successes

So here's a couple pictures relating to the prior post about making a sign for a comics section that was supposed to wrap around a wall. In the end, I did get to make the sign, which I thought turned out pretty well, aside from the easter-egg colors that ended up coming out when I tried to paint with wet acrylics on foam core. I felt that it didn't work, so posted with it is what I would have done had I planned better. Next time!

On the upside, I got to ink it with a sumi brush. That stuff is so much fun to play with!

screenshot

Here's what I'm choosing as the screen shot for the Dusty's book, thought this might be a good time to finally start putting some thesis stuff up. I think this is final color, but I'll probably use some textures. This still feels too bare for me.

I've done about 6 months on my thesis so far, and have a frightening two months left. It's time for some prayers...

Hope you like!

Phoenix airport

If you can't tell, I'm really trying to post a lot more lately to keep myself working on different things. That's why I'm trying to work with color and textures in more recent pictures, which I'll try to post more of soon. I'm somewhat new to textures these days, so if this is too much, let me know! This one was when I was waiting for a plane in the Phoenix airport for 3 hours, because of inclement weather in Denver. Seems like every time I travel I get stuck somewhere, but I'm getting used to pulling out my sketchbook at these times, and kind of starting to enjoy this forced people-drawing time.

finally back to work

after three weeks of not being able to work on thesis (plus a really good excuse to be lazy and catch up on my smash brothers), i finally went back to work this week and now get to devote all of my time to thesis. don't get me wrong, i love working on this stuff, but this was me on monday: totally exhausted because i woke before 11am.

air travel

this made 6 hours stuck in the airport worth it.



and to stay with the air theme, this was on a plane to london. woohoo!

kill a man for a good book

here's a new post with a drawing i did last month. it was supposed to be a giant sign for my library, but got denied for possibly a few small reasons. i cleaned it up before presenting it, but i'm overall really happy with how it turned out as an illustration, so i don't really mind it doesn't get to be 4 feet tall. enjoy!

I updated my demo reel

So now there's two minutes of non-sequitur segments!

By the way, this is a lot of posts in a day. Hope you like.

this is me working on thesis

not really. but this girl is fun to draw right now.

and in case you're wondering, no, she'll never stop.

this girl

is kinda being a brat

waiting for someone to take this computer away from me.

Thesis makes me like this.
