Art Blarf!

2011-10-03T13:58:00.000-04:00

Been going through some old work, fixing a few things and cleaning things up. So it's time for a bit of an art dump!

Illustrator Fun

2011-08-17T10:18:00.004-04:00

I actually did this one a while ago. I thought I'd already posted it, but I guess not so here it is. This is the character, Nia, from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I was trying to stretch my wings a bit. Do something entirely in Illustrator. I like how it turned out.

Hair is hard

2010-12-29T12:54:00.002-05:00

It's been a while. I wanted to try doing some more hair and Rapunzel just seemed like an obvious choice.

Drawing Again

2010-07-07T10:19:00.003-04:00

Someone asked me to draw a picture of Deedee from Dexter's Lab bloated, with a cookie jar stuck on her head so, I drew this.

Kindergaten Kratos

2010-04-15T11:54:00.003-04:00

Having my computer back means I can do things like this now.

Lion

2010-03-11T16:34:00.002-05:00

I wanted to try designing something nice and simplistic. Something I could use for symbol based animation.

Woops!

2010-03-04T13:58:00.001-05:00

This is something that I drew for Kelly a long while back! Gotta love Kratos.

Something New!

2010-01-14T08:21:00.006-05:00

This was a request I received from someone on DA. I had fun doing this. I think it helped me learn a lot about painting, and I'm kind of excited to start on something new.

We're Painting!!

2009-11-26T14:27:00.005-05:00

I wanted to get a handle on painting realistically again, so this is just something I tried doing in Photoshop. It's based on a picture I found on the internet. I think I'm going to try some more of these.

I like how it turned out, but one thing I learned is that I need to start with stronger under-drawings in the future!

Many Faces

2009-11-11T13:08:00.002-05:00

Just trying out some expressions. I actually did these a while ago. I just never got around to posting them.

Another Graphic Girl

2009-10-07T17:04:00.003-04:00

Another one of these.

Graphic Girl

2009-09-30T12:54:00.006-04:00

Trying something a little outside of my normal style.

My Demo Reel

Sensible Sue: The Movie

2009-08-30T08:05:00.003-04:00

I can't believe that I never uploaded my film. So here she is in all her glory, Sensible Sue!

Another Collage

2009-08-28T08:39:00.007-04:00

Yet another character mash up, this time Maurecia, Helga and Panini.

Louis Sachar's Wayside, Craig Bartlett's Hey Arnold and C. H. Greenblatt's Chowder.

Character Collage

2009-08-23T19:52:00.008-04:00

I wanted to do something fun, so I made this mash-up of some of my favourite cartoon characters together.

This is the final coloured version.

Here's the cleaned-up line drawing.

Here's my initial sketch.

Craig McCracken's Powerpuff Girls, C. H. Greenblatt's Chowder, Thurop Van Orman's Flapjack, Edward Kay and Sean Scott's Jimmy Two-Shoes, Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh's Phineas and Ferb, Hasbro's Jem

Sensible Sue

2009-08-18T12:35:00.005-04:00

These were some early character sketches of my final film character Sue. In the end I had to really simplify her design, but I still really love how pliable she was here.

A Dash of Colour

2009-08-13T14:00:00.010-04:00

I felt like trying out Illustrator as a means of colouring the characters. I like how it turned out.

2009-08-13T13:44:00.004-04:00

I enjoyed doing some sketches of her and some more characters, as well as different points in her life.

New Stuff

2009-08-11T20:51:00.010-04:00

I haven't put anything here in a while, but I've done a few sketches in the last while, developing this character I've had in my head, along with a few other things.

She started out looking like this...

But ended up more like this.

Once I'd figured out her body typed I tried to figure out some poses.

And then some facial expressions.

Layouts!!!

2008-02-16T12:24:00.004-05:00

I realised that I'd posted paintings, but no layouts.

Finally Some Animation!!!

2008-02-09T23:36:00.001-05:00

About time I guess...

Some More Character Designs

2008-02-08T14:14:00.001-05:00

Just a few more...

Water Wonder

2008-01-30T21:32:00.001-05:00

A few character designs from a project last semester.

It's Something...

2008-01-14T01:50:00.002-05:00

It's been a while, so I thought that I should post something. These are old, but I still like them. More stuff later.

Another One

2007-06-24T17:59:00.001-04:00

My second Chipette fan art.

Somthing...

2007-06-18T22:19:00.001-04:00

I guess I should actually post something here. It's fanart, but it's my fanart.

Ratatoullie

2007-05-26T12:51:00.000-04:00

No new art to post quite yet, but I did come across this on Yahoo. It's a 9 minute clip from the new Pixar movie, Ratatoullie, with commentary by Brad Bird. I'm actually quite excited to see this film when it comes out.

First Post

2007-05-21T09:27:00.000-04:00

As with just about everything else I've done this summer I was convinced to start this blog by a friend. My Plan is to post some art here as often as possible. I'd say once a week, but it would probably end up being a lie, so I'll just stick with my previous statement.
