Lions Life Drawing

Went to the zoo today and drew some animals-especially the lions, they were most fun to draw today. So here's some lions. Rawr.

Photoshop Sketch-I Wish....

Wishing I could talk over a few things with certain people but they are either too busy, don't understand, or we've grown too far apart now for me to even feel comfortable bringing it up. It's not really anything or maybe it is.
I just wish I could have answers to my thoughts, especially those I keep most guarded.

Just a scribble, self-portrait thing-not quite vent art, but something like that. I know some things are off but that's okay-it's only a 30 min sketch.

And I know that's not my current haircut....it's what I want to cut it as, but I have to wait until after my friend's wedding-just in case it looks like crap in reality.

Moose Puppet Building

Built this puppet for a stop motion film a friend and I are making for our art and technology class. Instead of showing the end product, I took pictures throughout showing how this puppet was made. First time ever building a puppet like this, very happy with how he turned out.

Here is the puppet we decided upon at Unique. Surprised to find such a nice stuffed animal there(and for super cheap too!)

Better pic of his head.

Arg I'm terrible-I killed the stuffed animal! Here he is all destuffed.

My cat Woody really wanted my attention. So to get it, he decided to sit on top of everything while I was working. I pet him for a bit before kicking him off my work table and moving him to the couch.

Wire armature built for the puppet.

Wire armature inside of stuffed animal-success it stands!

Our puppet needs to walk in our movie, so he needed something to weigh his feet down. Sand was the trick, just had to dry it out first(cause I don't want the puppet to be molding). And I didn't take a picture of this, but basically I made sandbags for the feet. Just stuck the sand in plastic baggies and duct taped them shut.

Restuffing the puppet

Then stitch him back up and wallah! Here he is, soon to be a movie star!

*Also must thank my mom for sewing him back together-I was gone all night and wanted him to be done by tomorrow, so my mom offered to do that part for me while I was gone, which was super nice of her! And she's also a way better at sewing than I am, so that's a major plus too. ;)

Last Semester Photoshop Sketch Dump

Was excited to find this on my computer-I lost pretty much all my art files on my computer this summer-some how that folder got in the trash and I emptied it without realizing....it's okay though, except for these I either had uploaded them online or there was a real life version of it, so no worries. Thought these were included but somehow they were on iPhoto (no clue how they got there but I'm sure happy about it). Anyways, drew these like April/May 2010. All of them expect for the bottom one were just quick fun sketches. The bottom one-obviously spent a little bit more time on...it's not completely finished but close and I won't have to time to work on it for awhile and it just has to be uploaded with this set. Anyways, enjoy!

Fly Me to Utter Nonsense

This was my second project for my art and technology class. Initially started off with the concept of drawing on top of an old movie but it progress from not only putting my hand literally on top of the movie, but changing the story, changing the shot length and messing with the music. I actually really like how it turned out, I wasn't expecting much of anything but I think it's going to be an interesting topic to explore. Anyways, here it is:

Dogs With Cones on Their Heads

I really should be working on homework. But instead I spent 10 min doing this. And you know what-I don't regret it at all.

"Blind"-Running Away Sequence

Very last part of my animatic for one of the films I'm working on, the working title is "Blind" but that may or may not change...anyways, enjoy!

"Nuts About You" Storyboard Panels

Another film I'm working on(I have 3 going on right now). This one is titled "Nuts About You". Inspired by a walk with my dog a few weeks ago. This one has been really fun to work on-lots of humor, the setting is my backyard/house and the star of the film is my dog. Some serious fun is happening...seriously.
These are in no particular order.

"Blind" Concept Layout Space

Was trying to figure out the layout/space for one part of this film I'm working on (titled "Blind" right now, but that may or may not change soon). Working on the animatic of this tonight-expect to be seeing more from this project for the next few months.

Photoshop Sketch-Lioness Portrait

I need to start updating this more regularly, so I'm going to start uploading things I don't normally upload, like photo shop sketches I do when I need a break from what I'm working on.

Photo Reference Used Most Definitely

Class Designs

It's a new school year which means I'm back to working on these design things(not really sure what to call them). I work on them in my non-art lecture classes-helps me remember the material more and keeps me focused to the lectures. Such an art student sometimes...
