An update! I decided that one of my New Years resolutions will be to update my blog at least once a week, probably on sundays! I'm super long overdue for an update as it is, but here's some more recent stuff from my sketchbook. 

I really need a new profile/icon picture so I've been working on some different design ideas. 

Here's the sketch of the batgirl print I made for Halcon

I've been wanting to animate a cat walk cycle for THE LONGEST TIME so I've been working on some different designs! I'm actually probably going to be adopting a cat over the holidays which I am SUPER excited for!! 

More doodles and sketches, for different characters and story ideas 

Been working on studying anatomy, I really want to improve my drawing ability at it's core. Here's a bunch of studies! 

Hal-Con!

Here's two more last minute Hal-Con prints I painted last week. I had an AWESOME time at Hal-Con over the weekend, met so many awesome people! Looking forward to next year already (hopefully I'l have a larger selection by then hahaha)

Been super busy with work, and prepping for Hal con (but mostly playing Pokemon HAHAAAAaaaa...)

Here's a print of Toon Link I'm hoping to sell, I'm brokenhearted that I don't have a wiiu to play wind waker HD with!

And the final comission for the pinup set I was doing, Elizabeth from Bioshock.

Cheers! :D

HEY!

I'm alive, yes! Finally getting around to updating this thing, I've been drawing A LOT lately and feel it's time to update with at least my more recent stuff.

Here's another finished pinup commission, one more to go for that set! 

And a bunch of recent sketches from my sketchbook! 

I have a table at Halcon this year, exciting! I'm going to try selling prints for the first time, hopefully I'll have time to make at least a few.

So I finished another pinup commission, this time we have mafia Miss fortune. She was a lot of fun, really enjoyed playing around with her hair.

And here's some non art related blabbing: I cannot believe it's only been two weeks since I moved to Halifax, feels like it's been WAY longer! But oh man, I am LOVING it out here. Halifax is such a beautiful city, definitely a huge step up from the tiny little town I lived in before, I'm not use to having everything I need at my fingertips. Living downtown has been sweet, and the ocean view is just beautiful. I also can't believe how much I've learned at work in such a short amount of time, I had no idea my brain was capable of taking in so much information! Work has been just awesome so far and I'm super happy to be there; I've got a long way to go but I'm just so excited to be starting my animation career!

So to sum it up, everything is just kind of awesome these days :D

I'm going to try and update this blog more often once things settle down and I fall into a steadier groove. Cheers friends! 

ADVENTUUURE!

I'm back! Well, for an update anyway. 

So I'm moving to Halifax tomorrow morning! I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that's happened these past few months; it's a LOT to take in. Strange to think I'll be living by myself in the city come tomorrow night. But it's exciting. I was offered a great opportunity, so I decided to put my college career on hold and get head-start on my animation career, I'm psyched to get my butt kicked and learn and improve as much as I can! Of course I'm very nervous, but in the best way possible :) 

I've been sketching a whole lot but my scanner has been mostly MIA this past while, so I wont be posting any of those but I do have a few paintings done.

 Dany pinup commission! 

(I really should start working on more backgrounds... heh)

Just writing this post has got me all nostalgic, I def want to keep up with this blog as much as I can even though I'll be working. Now I sorta regret leaving it alone for so long haha, although I've been having an awesome time hanging out with friends and family with what little time I've been back home; this summer really shaped up to be an amazing one! 

Anyways, I wont have any internet at my new place for a little while probably; I'll update with some fresh new "I'm living in Nova-Scotia" art asap. Woohoo! 

Big changes! Hiatus

Obviously I haven't updated in a little while, reason being that I'm moving to Halifax! I won't get into details right now, I'll update properly later. But for now, time to pack up my stuff and head out on an adventure. Woohoo!

This blog will be on hiatus for a good couple of weeks if not months!

This is something I doodled to put on the front of my business card! Hopefully I can get those printed before animaritime ahahahaaaaa (Last minute as always!)

Working on another pinup commission

Random elf chick doodle 

I don't miss netflix nearly as much as I thought I would, I have cable tv in my new place and it's nice not having to chose something to watch sometimes! 

Aaaand here is my first ever flash animation! Haha it's such a silly little thing, there's a million things wrong obviously (you can plainly see the joints, bad secondaries, etc) but I learned so much from this! Learned how to make symbols and some flash instances too, tweening, how to layer and build a character, all that good stuff. I wasn't too worried about the overall quality, more what I learned from it. My next attempt at flash should be a big improvement, I hope!

Decided to start reworking my little character Brie's design, getting tired of her current look! Trying different styles of eyes, hair, etc. I really want to animate her! 

I'm mostly sticking with the same body and head shape, just messing around with different hairdos. I want her to be a tomboy, but still somewhat feminine. 

More work done for the pinup commissions, will probably scrap the blue one though. Not satisfied with it!

Unfortunately I can't find my camera charger anywhere so I can't show any of my life drawings, cept for these! Scanned this for our last assignment of the year, full body drapery studies. I really need to work on my proportions haha

I think I forgot to post this! This is my first ever attempt at a lip-sync animation, a simple MEOW. The obnoxious voice is actually mine hahaha. This was just a really short quick assignment, we were supposed to animate a ghost going BOO but I wanted to do a meow, so I compromised with a ghost cat!
