more things

Portfolios/films may actually be killing me. I draw cute girls to stay sane.
 This picture actually has a title! It's called "lost". Sums up my feelings lately.
 Just a standing girl... inspired a bit by Earl Oliver Hurst, one of my favorite artists. One of the critiques I got on my portfolio was to avoid drawing people just standing around and being cute and give them a story instead. I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but it's some really great advice. I'll be keeping it in mind from now on. (Most of these drawings are from before that critique, unfortunately)

 Little forest spirit girl! From this old picture.

After talking to Shane Prigmore I was inspired to look at ancient art to study how people have solved design problems throughout the ages. Here are some designs based on ancient African sculptures.

Here is a background painting from my film! It's the title card/opening shot, which is why it looks weirdly empty in the sky. Hah.

Wowee thanks for looking everybody! Hope you're all doing well.

ladies of late

I can't get this space girl who cries stars out of my head so I had to draw her...!! I think she might be the star of my second year film but we'll see if I change my mind...!

This one's a fanart of an artist I like's character, Parakeet Jones! She was a joy to draw.

Aaand, Monster girls! There's this monster people generator that's been going around on tumblr.... It's really fun when you're in the mood to do a quick character design, I recommend trying it! Here's what I got...
This one was "Thoughtful unicorn girl who wears high fashion and thinks about Leek"

And she's a "bewildered sheep girl who wears tshirt and needs protection"!! fun stuff. guess I'd better get back to work hahah

drawings from the break

More birds!! This time I went with more neutral palettes...



Barbarella fanart??!?? Based on this.

A bunch of dudes were redrawing 70s manga illustrations and I had to do one! This is from Kaze to ki no Uta.

I really like drawing from reference lately, it really gives you a chance to think about how you stylize... it's fun practice!

lots of things!

Here are some things!

First off, check out the 48-hour film me and my buds made! The theme was Cactus. It was quite an adventure to learn all of these programs right away but we made it work. 



Next, some satyrs for character design. I tried to take common tropes with satyrs and put a twist on them...
Since most satyrs are devilish fellas, I designed a sensitive, nice one.
 
Satyrs chase babes, but what if the satyr was the babe being chased? This picture, that's what.

And just for fun, I've been doing some DC fanart.
 "I think I've got a woody..."

 Michelle Pfieffer, my favorite catwoman!

I'm also working on some redesigns of the Gotham gals...stay tuned.
