Spring!

Spring has sprung!

Here's some teaser work to celebrate! A preview of my film to come. Some backgrounds and a few stills.

It's exactly one more month until this must be completed....
Spring break! Be kind to me!

Mighty Millie

FINALLY!!!

This is my final project for my graphic novel development class...the one I took LAST semester. As it came time to work on my project my pronator syndrome decided to rear it's ugly head, making me unable to draw.... My teacher graciously gave me a grade of incomplete and said to just finish it when I could--so I've been working on it while in the middle of recovering from pronator/surgery, not to mention in the middle of scrambling to work on my animation!

Anyway...here it is! I think the less I say about it the better, because to be honest I'm quite unhappy with the story..... (it was a little trying to develop a story for my comic simultaneously working on the story for my animation), also unhappy with the character designs, not as polished as I'd like.........let's not even talk about BGs.....

Ok, I will just stop before I completely destroy this with my own critique.

Enjoy! (if possible)

Joy of the Mundane - breakfast

Join me on my journey of finding pleasure in mundane things. Today I appreciate:

Breakfast is so great!

I eat exactly the same thing monday through friday at precisely 7:45 in the calarts cafeteria:

a piece of toast with cream cheese + tomatoes, a cup of water, a cup of coffee. It's delicious!

Diabetes

Diabetes has given me thick skin!
I had a nerve test done over winter break on my arm to figure out if I had CTS (and it turned out I had Pronator Syndrome instead!) and the doctor stuck a big ol' needle in my arm over and over (and over...and over...). He said, "Have you been diabetic for a long time? I can tell...your skin is like puncturing a grapefruit. Most people are like tangerines."
Huh!

THE PAIN....

BAD NEWS: for the last couple of weeks, this is what my life has looked like (drawn with my opposite hand...I've been practicing!)


Making may animatic while battling stymptoms of what may be CTS. SO. FRUSTRATING.

GOOD NEWS: Tomorrow I am going home for winter break!! YAY!

BAD NEWS: because of my stupid hand I wasn't able to complete my final project (10 page comic) for my graphic novel class. Now I'll have to work on it over break, provided my hand gets fixed up.... AUUUGH

GOOD NEWS: I'm really excited about my upcoming film project!

BAD NEWS: I HOPE I CAN DO IT!!!!



Since I haven't updated anything in a while....heres a few ugly drawings (AKA my storyboards)

Happy late Halloween!

OOPS...here it is, now officially four days after Halloween, and I'm posting a Halloween drawing. Blasphemy!

Vampire's castle

Trying to figure out what the vampire's place might look like...

I dunno what to name him! (though he really doesn't need one I guess?)
