Isla

This is Isla, one of my favourite original characters I've come up with, and she's the other half of Harper.

I said that my project for summer last year was to draw all of my original characters and work on their designs, I think I only managed to draw Harper. These two have a rough back story/plot line thing I'm working on, but I don't think it'll ever get further than my compute for now.

Kiss kiss

Messing around with watercolours today, this was going well until I couldn't find my inking pen, so I went round the outlines in pencil and it looks bad.

Pro-tip: don't be lazy, it never pays off.

I might redo this in Photoshop at some point

Film Challenge

So once a year at my Uni we have Film Challenge, we get split into teams, given an genre, a prop, a character, some lines of dialogue and a week to animate, which sounds simple enough, but now I'm in my final year we are being assessed on it and it is the most stressful thing ever but hopefully it'll be rewarding.

I made this paper cut badge of our character cheering our team on (because we need all the support we can get)

This is just a quick sketch I did yesterday afternoon, it was supposed to be a flouncy Georgian lady, but it sort of turned into Marie Antoinette. She looks like she's got really short legs, but she's actually sitting on a seat, also her dress is not nearly big and poofy enough, I'll have to fix that later. Sorry about the scan quality/terrible Photoshop editing, my scanner is a bit rubbish.

This is a coloured version of a doodle I did at work last night on the back of a receipt.

I'm not dead, I just have a lot on at the moment, deadlines and such. One of my animations is playing on TV here in NZ which I'm pretty stoked about. It's a 10 second ad that's running for 10 weeks, I'll upload it as soon as legally possible. I should really upload more of my animations...
