Hero

Something I drew in the labs tonight. I really liked it while it was a sketch. Then I did the linework and my volumes just went BLOOP and died :(

This is Cirino playing hero (and looking slightly effeminate) in front of Nikita (who obviously thinks she can handle whatever's going on.

I'm still trying to come up with a design for Cirino that I like...did you know that mixing horse and human anatomy is a betch? :) 

Ray Harryhausen and Nikita

First off, for my thesis class the teacher wanted to start us off by getting us to enter a contest. You can read all about it here: http://www.dontpaniconline.com/designbrief/ray-harryhausen-animation-competition  ((You can also vote for my boards if ya like))

Anyway, it's something really simple and it was done really fast...and for the life of me, i couldn't think of anything. All it had to do was include monsters...any kind of monsters.......and i went with a damn octopus and flower :(

I obviously need to get back into the flow of things heh

In other news, I did some lineart of Nikita recently:

I may use this for a color variation exercise but I'm not sure yet...I might just redraw her instead haha especially since I'm not too fond of the ears or her chest area in this one o.O Dunno.

Aviris is being worked on this semester and I've been working a lot on the actual plot lately, that's why there hasn't been much art yet. There will be more to come though :)

Enjoy!

I LIVE

Here's a sketch! of a landscape! :D

Just getting back in the swing of things....More should be coming by next week D:> I'm assuming that Thursdays will be the day I upload the most this semester haha.

Also, my internship with HotBed Media Inc starts in 2 days! WOO!!

Now off to do laundry.......

Character Design Final - Colette

Here's my final for class - a huge character design project. However, because of time management (with all the other finals and holidays in between) I'm not quite happy with her. I ended up defaulting into "my style" (if you can call it that) instead of keeping the original style I wanted to try on her. I really want to push myself with style on this particular story....ALL WELL. I'm already sketching new versions of her and she's already changed a bit. I'll continue playing with her and the other French Dystopian characters. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF THIS!

sketches and new demo reel

Here's a peek at what I've been working on for my Char Dsn final:

IT'S COLETTE!

Also, I made a new demo reel (because 2 of my classes required it). It shows off my video/motion grpahics work. Its short and simple and has nothing to do with character design haha. Check it out here:

Phineas & Ferb guest characters

Latest assignment was to make 3 characters that could fit into the world of Disney's Phineas & Ferb. We have to create a kid, an animal, and a guest villain. As not being an avid watcher of the show, this was something a little different for me haha. Anyway, here are my characters and some sketches from the show:

 

I just realized that Ms Bumblebore's arm (screen right) doesn't really attach to her shoulder....gonna have to fix that. *huff puff*

Penelope Cruz the Mongoose

Latest assignment was to make a celebrity caricature as an animal. This is something entirely new for me since when I think of Caricature I think of this:

I didn't draw those btw (obviously). But that's what I think of when I think "caricature"....totally NOT my style :/ But I was supposed to do something like this:

But Penelope Cruz doesn't have any props for me to work with and all I had to do was make a turnaround so personality sketches weren't really going to be a part of the finished product :/ Her body type, while beautiful, isn't too extraordinary. However, she does have big eyes, a wide mouth, and big hair. There's also a noteable in her facial proprotions. Anyway....

This isn't my greatest project. I had to pick priorities with it being finals week though. Lots of projects including another for this class....soooooooooooooooooo...yeah whatever here's everything haha:

 

Here are my first sketches. They're HORRIBLE. I was caught up between putting animal on a human and human on an animal heh XD

Here is a more anthro version...but this wasn't really where the project needed to go. So I had to re-do

Something a little more animal. But not animal enough :/ Prof wanted something completely animal but while paying attention to her facial proportions. I like this one the most though. 

This is what I ended up with. I don't like it, but I suck at turnarounds haha This is all animal, but with a sort of "mane" that is Penelope's hair and some of her facial proportions (short distance between nose/mouth, large almond eyes, ect).
