(2018) Cartoon Self Portrait

Hello again!  Sorry for disappearing for a bit.  I was sorting out my tumblr blogs, and I feel like I've finally got things organized the way I want.  For now anyway.  Check out my tumblr art blog here: X

(2017) Steve Harrington Caricature for Digital Painting (Stranger Things)

Here it is.  The best thing I've ever painted.  This was our final for Digital Painting, and I must have sunk at least 15 hours into this thing.  I'm pretty sure I procrastinated and spent 9 straight hours on it the day before it was due.  Yikes.  But I'm very proud of it.  I painted the entire thing in black and white then used a color overlay in Photoshop and filled in all the reds and browns and whites at the end.  It was insane and so, so fun.

We are sooooo close to being caught up to the work that I've done this year!

(2017) Album Cover for Digital Painting

This assignment was also a lot of fun.  I was obsessed with the Scissor Sisters' song, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" at the time, so I tried playing around with disco colors.  It underwent a lot of changes, but this version is definitely the best. 

(2017) SB 11_Gal Gadot

I wanted to work on more realistic hair, so I did a study of the lovely Gal Gadot.

(2017) Portrait WIPs (Guardians of the Galaxy, Spiderman)

Some works in progress that I know I'll never go back and finish. :/

What a good boyfriend.

(2017) Inktober

These are from just under a year ago, when I participated in the Inktober challenge.  And that's about all I have energy to say because uploading this was really quite a hassle. 

(2017) Character Design for Digital Painting (Lockwood and Co)

THIS CLASS WAS THE BEST. Our professor had us practice character design using original characters or characters from a book.  I chose to design Lucy from Jonathan Stroud's YA series, Lockwood and Co, one of my all time favorites. I also had to design a villain and a companion: I chose Bickerstaff's ghost from the second book for the former, and the ghost in the jar for the latter. 

This was SUCH a fun project, I loved every bit of it.  I do wish I'd used a T-pose for the character turn around (second image) just because I feel like it's used more in the industry and looks a little more professional.  

I think they are in fact making a television series for Lockwood and Co.  It's the in the works, at least.  But it's going to be live action, which means they can't hire me to animate it.  What a pity.

I used the yellow paper to cover up an angry rant. I think I was yelling about a boy.  It happens. 

(2017) Spirk and Stars (Star Trek)

I still don't understand why their ship name isn't "Spork" but whatever.  They're hecking cute.

A little sketchy-do I did after watching The Young Victoria.
