Hello Clariiiice

My senior show is "jail break" themed, so we are making caricatures of ourselves as inmates and criminals for posters.
I'm pretty satisfied with how if came out. I hope I made Tom Harris proud lol

The Final Stretch, the Final.... Countdown?

The end of the semester, which is also the end of school FOREVER, is fast approaching!
I _think_ I am kind of on track. Sort of...
I put together more backgrounds tonight!
Since one is a SPOILER, I'm only posting one : P

It's the inside of the bank I posted a few weeks ago.
I'm actually kind of enjoying this simple geometric background stuff. I don't want to overdo it in future projects, but maybe with some refinement I can have a real "style" going.
Or something like that.

DONE-ZO.

Finally, after spending all day stitching a suit I am DONE with my two main puppets. I just have one more to do, but that one is considerably easier than these two, so it shouldn't take more than a day : )

My motorcycle girl (or Moto-Girl as I have been affectionately calling her)

ZOUNDS! It's a creepy Conan O'Brien-esque used motorcycle salesman. I would watch what you say though, I've heard he has a _monsterous_ temper. Mmm har har. Oh, that's a joke that would probably make sense if the whole thing was done.  Hmmm....

GO TEAM V-- Hey, wait a minute...

WIP Stop Motion

I have so much stuff to do by the end of the semester!! My Flash project is coming along _slowly_, mostly because I am taking a little break to work on my stop motion stuff.
I still have a ton of work to do before I can start shooting, but I thought I would let everyone see how the puppets are going so far : 3
Hopefully you can see the sketch of how this guy will actually look once he's done. Inspired by Conan O'Brien... only slightly more lanky and much more creepy!

DRAMATIC CLOSE UP.

Jack Black looks on in approval... I think.
Believe it or not, this is actually a girl! She's getting hair right after this post :)

Maybe she'll get some fake eyelashes too. Depending on how motivated I am, that is.










That's it for now. They should be completely done by this evening, and I will try to post pics

My job would be so much easier if we lived on a blank piece of paper.

Just finished my second background!!
I was actually thinking this time around, and only have a few backgrounds in total! I am on my way to being done with these beasts.
Take a look :3

Game Production

It's official, YO.  If you have an ipod touch/iphone you should download it (it's free)!! Also, it's super easy to beat. Seriously, I made it pretty short and relatively easy to get through. You will feel super good about yourself as a gamer. Think of your self esteem!!!

Since I put this thing together pretty quickly, I kind of want to try again. Maybe not this same concept of run/jump over things, but something else iphone worthy? We'll see what the future holds... lol.

A Certain Shade of Green

As most everyone knows, today is St. Patrick's Day. It is an auspicious occasion, when you can get completely drunk out of your mind at 11 am... and it's considered socially acceptable! Well, maybe not... but who's going to stop you? ;)

It also happens to be my dad's birthday. As a kid, we usually got him the same lame 5 or 6 St.Patrick's/Birthday cards that they made throughout the 90's, but certain years we would be able to spice things up with cards featuring our favourite penguin, Opus (from the comic series "Bloom County" by Berkeley Breathed. There is actually an Opus Christmas movie called: "A Wish for Wings that Work". It is one of the very few holiday movies I still enjoy... so I think it is pretty damn good :3).

Since Bloom County is pretty much obsolete now, I can't really get him an Opus card like I used to... So I think a quick sketch of the little guy enjoying the holiday will have to do!

Happy Birthday, Dad!! : )

THE FINAL FRONTIER?

Recently I have been falling asleep watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. So when I went to do a few warm ups tonight before working on business card designs... that was really all I could think of.
Yep. I am a huge freaking nerd.

 

 I'm just going to leave this here...

Current Project Progress : 3

While my animation is still rather rough and scattered at this point, I thought I would post the opening background for my piece. : )
There are still a few more backgrounds to do, and about 2 more involved scenes of animation. I'm a little behind, but I think this project is coming together... gradually!

Background Re-Vamp

A re-do of a background from a project that will probably never see the light of day (at least for another year) : /
It's the inside of a spaceship! Ooooo, CONSOLES.

I should probably get back to work on my _current_ project...
