just a small one

a good scanner is hard to come by in my area of residence. :P

at any rate... been working on a lot of new and old projects; and the new desk job is going well but i never thought i'd end up in a cubicle in a room full of techies and programmers, haha. as for personal and freelance stuff:

>if you're familiar with my deviantart site, you may remember a character sheet for a trio known as puppet, cat and blanche. blanche i've been drawing for years, but cat and puppet are more recent additions. i've been writing out their story which i plan to draw in some sort of quasi-sequential/storybook style. the text is basically just description of the visuals with dialogue- script as narrative. it can be read in parts on my LJ:

i want to start doing sketches for that soon. but it'll happen when i have free time. (not soon.) :P

>working on two more chatacter designs for the lilith morningstar story that skully ( http://bonehead47.deviantart.com ) has been writing. got a handful of good sketches for one of them, need to finish the turnaround and then i'll post her.

>am commissioned to do a character design/poster illustration of a friend's DND character (I LOVE DRAWING DND CHARACTERS XD ) i've only got a description and really rough pose sketches so far, but it's started.

>THE BEST THING: my first freelance animation job! WOOHOO!!!! would you be surprised that it's for the same band i've been working with for the past two years? haha. ( www.myspace.com/walkthemoonband ) walk the moon, the band i've been designing merch for. i got to talking with their producer Erwin Musper at one of their gigs, and he came up with the idea for an animated intro/outtro they could use for a live rock video they'll be recording in a few weeks!!!

so, that is the newest thing; almost finished with the storyboards, and once i get my new laptop and software i'll be able to put an animatic together to pitch. it's still a bit up in the air, and who knows when (if) i'll get paid, but heck if it's a good peice for my reel then good deal. :)

so that's what's going on... and i should probably get back to work. ttfn.

ZOOOOOOOO

went to the zoo last saturday with sandy (and saw wall-e afterwards). didn't draw a WHOLE lot, but i do like some of what i did get. gotta love those manatees. :D

model fiesta

model fiesta: a gathering of models, costumes and props optional, for a large group of students to draw.

:) that first one won me the 20$ prize for best portrait. i left it unfinished intentionally. that last one in blue is from sketch club right after the model fiesta. ^_^

EPT

i started a new job last friday. one of the first things they had me doing was logo design... so here's some of those. i'm kind of liking that second one woth the lightning bolt. :)

The Secret Garden- FINAL

HAH! it loaded.

Walkin' the Moon

youtube is still chugging away. darn you, 347 mb quicktime file.

anyway. working on merch for the band walk the moon, if you haven't heard of them go here:

because they are awesome. i'm not being biased, i swear.

first here is a tshirt design:


I like it a lot better than the design i did a few months ago. the rest of these are for 2x3" stickers:




sounds like they're leaning towards that last one. good, i like it. :)

Scully's

internet is back, huzzah! so I can get some things up here (FINALLY!!!!!). my final secret garden video is uploading to youtube right now, so i'll be able to post that also in a bit.

since school got out, i've been working on character designs for a friend's story- you probably remember the first character sheet i did for him:



well, later in the story that character's appearance changes so that it looks as if she's aged, and she also goes through a lot that changes her attitude of things. here she is older:



also, another character in that story is this young man here:



he got his eye shot out, poor dear. but he sure is cute anyway. hehee.

i'll check back soon with more stuff and the secret garden final video.
