Ugly Americans

2011-09-21T22:55:00.000-07:00

here are some storyboards I did for season two-- this one was "Lilly and the Beast"

I liked doing this bedsheet bit

Jaclyn getting progressively angrier

her transformation was an Incredible Hulk homage

hmm

I've been bumming around drawing applications on the internet

the silmarillion

2011-04-13T22:22:00.001-07:00

I tried reading the silmarillion when I was in 7th grade but I didn't get very far...now I'm reading it again and I wanted to draw Melkor...I drew a bunch of different versions of him.

This would be before he steals the silmarils.

This would be how he appears to the Eldar

Holiday Greetings

2010-12-27T16:22:00.001-08:00

I made this painting of my family for christmas, done Mary Blair-style. It was a present for my grandma. I think all the likenesses turned out really good!

Ugly Americans

I've been lucky enough to work at Augenblick Studios since graduating! I've done a lot of different stuff on the show, but getting to do animation is my favorite part. Here's some stuff I got to do:

2010-10-07T20:58:00.000-07:00

My friend Bernie told me to submit to this H.P. Lovecraft contest. It's from his story 'The Festival.' First prize is a shopping spree from parker brothers

Always, Only, Ever

2010-09-09T22:04:00.000-07:00

I made a thesis film the past year. It's currently viewable at Cartoon Brew:

Always, Only, Ever

The bartender was my favorite character to draw.

Drawing Party!

2010-07-28T14:58:00.000-07:00

I haven't been to a sketch night in so long...it's the best thing ever! I almost filled up my whole sketchbook.

And some life drawing...

some jaggedy ones from the subway...

you can really feel the "I may die today" vibration from the G train in these drawings.

I just found a bunch of old drawings

2010-07-28T14:52:00.000-07:00

who knows what I was going to do with them

Le Voila

2010-05-23T21:57:00.000-07:00

Everything is finished! I'll do a nice post about my thesis soon. It's going to be a part of Cartoon Brew's Student Fest in a few weeks, see here!

It's Coming!

Figure drawing!!

2010-02-11T19:09:00.001-08:00

Hey hey, figure drawing!

there were a lot of girl models this time...

Everybody needs support.

2010-01-23T11:53:00.001-08:00

I was working on my thesis, and for a second I took a break and doodled some velociraptors on the pasteboard. I left them there for a while, and I was comforted by how...supportive they looked. Like they were my Thesis cheerleaders. So I'm leaving them in the pasteboard.

The Worm

2009-10-04T18:16:00.000-07:00

Just found these in my desk.

They are of this person

from character design! The emotions, top to bottom were envy, anger, sick, love, confidence and content (the class picked those)

If I remember correctly, Bern's one request was that her snaggletooth be featured prominently

Acrylic.

Castle in the stupid glass box

2009-04-02T13:44:00.001-07:00

Okay.

So if you search back a couple pages, you'll find a post with a design sketch for a sculpture of Ico & Yorda that looks similar to this thing. I completed this sculpture about a year ago, and it's been displayed at school for all of this year, and I still don't have a digital camera but I decided hang it all, I'd borrow someone else's.
Poor Yorda is too tall for the display case (or perhaps the base itself is unnecessarily large.. *cough*) So she's been holding the plastic case up with her head for 11 months, and it's starting to give her a crack in the neck. So much for competent art display.

I made Yorda's dress by dripping tacky glue over a piece of saran-wrap stuck to her waist. Necessary? Maybe.
I really liked the parts of the game where Ico is dragging Yorda through the environment, and when Ico makes a sharp turn Yorda is quite slow to notice the change in direction and gets jerked around like a ragdoll.

This assignment was to personify an element of our choosing out of a group (water, lightning, battery (?), light) for children 6-12. I chose light.

Olson

2008-11-25T11:37:00.001-08:00

More character design. I wish I could have spent more time on this one, because I ended up really enjoying it. And after painting the stages of his life for four or so hours and thinking about all the things that happened to him over the years, I was feeling the "Olson is my baby" thing for a while. There are also some tiny, insignificant details that I put in that no one will understand except me, but I guess I can sit you down and tell you Olson's life story if you're ever interested.

Character Hell

Just kidding, the real name of the class is Character Design and it's fun...but a lot of work! Here's the latest, Jerry the bagworm:
