"My Father" & "The Leader" Story Beats

These are two poems interpreted into beat boards for Storyboarding class. The boards are rough and only one story will be put into final storyboard.Here's my first one, "The Leader" which I used the story of Moses for.

Here's my second one, "My Father." For this I decided to reverse the characters and make the dad a human and the son a wolf, so he's still alienated in species but not in the way the poem intends.

I'm thinking of going to final with "My Father" so I don't have to deal with the crowd of Hebrews in "The Leader" :S For now it's still undecided. I'll post more work on this in the near future. :)

Solronté Returns & New Sketchbook Sketches

Here's Solronté (the sketch from my last post) in color! I decided on warm colors and grays you'd see in the city on walls and buildings, along with the gold to represent electricity and sun. Also below are two sketches from my new recycled paper sketchbook. I love the texture of it :3

"Out of the Sea, Into the Air" Doodled this coming out of intoxication and listening to this song.

"Bone Elephant" I did the head last night and the body today. I'm not completely happy with the body. I should have just left it as a head...

Solronté, Dragon of the Shining City

A sketch I started on the train back from Toronto last night. I used the city night and sun as my inspirational materials for this dragon. I named him Solronté, accordingly. Not sure how I'm going to approach his body design, it's still a work in progress.

 

Class starts on Tuesday! I can't wait to learnnnn. :]

Lions... Oh My!

After doodling this pic below in response to this tweet, I got overcome with the urge to doodle more lions. So I did.

TEACH YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

Rawr!

Here's where I got carried away.

The "painting" proves how much work I really need to do on this sort of style. It's very simple of course, I probably could have gone on and on with it but ehh :/ I can't wait til Digital Painting class this year so I can work on getting better at this type of thing. Excuse the awkward structure of it as well, I didn't draw it beforehand, just started laying color down. Probably a bad idea!! :i

Over and out! Rawr!

GATORS GONNA GATE

 Just something as a break between commissioned work.

This is Klump from Donkey Kong Country and I love him ;W ; he's my favorite forever, I mean FOREVER. I wanna lay on his belly |3 I used his color scheme from the TV show instead of the game here.

Just takin' a stroll through the swamp (which I'm surprised how decent the background came out because I'm shit at "painting" stuff like that.)

Also I stayed away from my normal pen and watercolor tools for this picture and opted for conte and oil brushes instead. I like the lines better, I don't have to be so fussy.

Some sketches to start

Well I figure I'll post some sketches I've done recently that I haven't really posted elsewhere. I would post them on my DA and whatnot but I don't have a scanner and it wouldn't look that great presentation-wise. :/ Unfortunately I'll have to deal until I can get one.

Here's Hypno, the pokemon. I drew this after not drawing anything for myself for quite awhile. Everything got bottled up and I just released it through this picture.

Some big cat I drew on the plane while we were landing. It looks diseased but those are just dumb markings.

More sketches the night after I drew the Hypno. I didn't really think about anything, I just let myself draw whatever. The bottom two were inspired by Heironymous Bosch, my favorite painter/artist, known for his fantastic imagery and "fantasy" paintings.

This is some armored lizard dude I drew on the plane. I don't really like it but that's because I just did a one-shot without any planning.

Here's a cobra naga with his heart exposed. Drew this waiting for and on the train.

New Blog!

Welp. It's that time. I've decided to make a blogspot for my adventures through second year at Sheridan animation. I should have done this last year but OH WELL better late than never. I'll also be posting sketches, doodles, WIPs and whatever else.

I also have a Tumblr blog, but I reblog all sorts of stuff on there. Funny pictures, videos, music and other stuff of interest (feel free to follow me there too) so this blog will be entirely focused on animation and my artwork.
