Happy Halloween!

well almost! just a few more days :p but heres a voodoo zombie girl! this was a life drawing assignment where we had to transform a pose into a hero or villain. the pose reminded me of another drawing i did too

also, i totally think she looks like Angelina Jolie lol my sister pointed that out haha

Miss Fortune - Fun Pack

Exploration for layouts and characters in my action analysis project. The painting is really rough because I was just trying to get an idea of how i might paint it :)

Stop Motion Tests

Test from week 6





just a few tests i've done over the past 6 weeks of school (technically i've only animated for 5 days!)
I love stop motion class, this medium of animation is amazingly fun and so magical! i've been waiting for so long to try it out and i've been so stoked for it but now its confused me :( I dont know exactly what direction to head into.. but we'll see i guess! lets just hope i make the right decision!

anywhooo puppets on the way :) should be done by the end of reading week i hope!

**EDIT! I forgot to mention that the last animation test was done with my friend Chris Hong :p

The Hunger Games - Katniss, Peeta and the Pearl

I just finished reading the Hunger Games series last night, and my goodness was it amazing! I literally could not put them down :| I read all 3 in 5 days...(its easy reading and huge font) but still!!! I didnt get much work done, and then when i finally did finish i couldnt get my mind off of it! So I had to do this little drawing as a way to kind of get emotional closure (lol i know but the series really touched me!) anyways, its Peeta and Katniss from a scene in Catching Fire (dont worry I wont spoil anything!) where he gives her a pearl :) some of the relationships are just SO sweet! i kind of made Peeta look a little more the way i imagined Finnick for some reason (my favorite character by far!) anywhoo i'm going to get back to work now b/c i finally think i'm done with this week long obsession that I couldnt stop thinking about even in my sleep!

Also Linkin Park is like the soundtrack to this series in my mind :0 Shadow Of The Day is what i listened to pretty much on repeat when i painted this :)

Action Analysis - Miss Fortune Story Reel

So here is my idea for my action analysis! i spent a decent amount of time on the boards (i also learned that i work a little better under pressure :)) but i spent hardly any time trying to time it (found out i work terribly under a shit tonne of pressure) sooo i'm going to fix it when i can.. I also had to cut out a lot of panels and the big thing that happens at the end b/c we needed to have it 30 seconds maximum :( oh well i'll add them some other time i guess! I also need to add some music! i found the perfect track for this :D i cant wait to put it together!! Any ways, here it is! Miss Fortune :)

also for anyone who is unfamiliar with this sheridan assignment, there will be a fully animated and composited scene cut into this by the end of the semester :)

**EDIT! theres music now :) the timing will be fixed for the final product tho, i dont know how long the animation will be yet :p

Fortune Teller and Monster

The little old lady is a character for my action analysis project. shes not going to be in the animated section but maybe i'll try to do a pencil test of her one and only scene! :)

The monster is a rough idea that I have for a stop motion puppet and I cant wait to get started on him!

Hey there world :)

I'm back! its the usual excuse of life getting too crazy. Bobby Chiu came into sheridan and gave a little talk and he mentioned the importance of keeping up your online presence and i remembered my long neglected blog and my stomach did a little flip. So i've been itching to post something since last night!

this is my almost for sure character for my action analysis :) theres going to be a fortune teller also, but i'm stuck on her design! also, i'll be posting a leica reel very soon!!
