Art dump soon...

I'm sorry blog, I have not forgotten about you...
Will eventually post something about the film since that is the current major focus XD but for now...

We all got our lousy days...

Because WIP is important...

Happy New years all! Can't believe its 2011...

Good lord, can't believe it is the last 4 months of school...ever...or at least until I decide to go back to school... anyways!

A quick work in progress update!

This is the latest leica screened back in December...

4th Year Film - Leica - December Screening.

Since soon after it was the holidays, no one really works on the holidays despite the best of intentions...So the progress since the screening is minimial. Currently developing a quick colour script, which had been an interesting juggle...


It is strange...I've always envisioned hippo being a grey purple, a classic cartoon hippo colour. The girl, she's gone from pink dress to orange back to pink. Trying to combine that with varying backgrounds has been trying, and often creating disgusting combinations! If you have any suggestions, please do post! Or let me know if it is working! Would rather know before the paint process starts :D

Searching searching...

Posters are poppin up all over the school searching for help for films, preparing for the looming second semester...

I for one am searching for a Pianist (ideally classically trained) to perform/record Clementi's Sonatina in C Op 36 N. 3

Help me out, if you guys know of someone poke me! Thanks!

Edit: Excited! Got recordings coming up! Thanks for the email guys!

As Promised, the 3rd year film...

I am still very mixed emotions about this film, but for sure and super proud of everyone who helped put this together!

Sorry, I really haven't updated in a while. But soon! Here is the film from that year, that took hours to upload due to slow internet, heh.

Next post will hopefully be with the new leica for the 4th year film (so many new ones, with new boards!) and some development art. Oh how I wish I had a scanner at home!

Ridiculously sick. Its not a happy moment. People who say it is awesome to get sick so they can stay home and be lazy obviously don't get sick enough to feel its pain. How frustrating! Although I WAS getting better, I took a nice 180 degree turn on Friday. My fault, but it was soooo worth it! My Cintiq arrived! Had it sent to a friend's place which is a 20 min walk (ish) away. It was warm and cold (yeah..somewhere jumped a lot) and super windy, but I made the trek for it. So I am sick, but got a new toy to play with.

Gave me the chance to finish this piece I started almost a year ago!


One of the last WoW fanarts I'll do in a while (as I have no interest, or the money to play the game). Also a good send off piece...from what I hear, if I rejoin WoW, soul harvesting will be removed from the game...

So here is my piece in dedication to the weird evil soul draining things warlocks did.

More digging...

I was going through some more stuff, and found some sketches I did in the summer using MS Paint. Wow that program in Windows 7 has come such a long way. Considering my computer is still running Windows XP and Co, I spent a considerable amount of my break time playing in Paint with a Cintiq. Rough Sketches (apologies I seem to have located only fanart...)






While I'm at it, here's some fanart work from over the summer. Wanted to focus on learning Digital line art.

Cleaning out the server...

Spent the day story boarding and finishing up my leika v.1 for this year's film. So far I'm not really pleased with the results. Will tweek it a bit more then post for help. Sheridan got so many cintiqs in this year, it's great! I'm ordering mine soon, but will try to make do a little while longer.

Also had some fun times going through the server, backing up and cleaning out the stuff from last year. Reminded me that I didn't post the link to our film. Here is some stuff I fished out of the server that hibernated over the summer months...
