Animation Reel!

I'm not too fond of making these, since I really prefer design and story to animation, but here it is!

BREAKIN' DAWN!!

So. We got assigned to do a book cover in illustration class.

WARNING: This is a very dangerous assignment to give to a litnerd. After days agonizing over the perfect classic book I could make a compelling, symbolic, and deeply meaningful cover for, I tripped over my own geekout and fell flat on my face. Then my roommate jokingly convinced me to do Twilight so I made this dumb thing!

Also, this dumb thing.
Frankenstein is one of my favorite stories, as if it were not already obvious from how many different ways I adapt that dumb story!

"skeleton dog meets regular fox"

"hobo magical girl"

New illustration assignments based on textures.

Incorporating textures into images is actually really hard for me! XD

More boooooards

Almost forgot!

I uploaded part three of that silly long Jekyll and Hyde and Frankenstein story:

The Cliffs of Insanity, part III

Just finished a first attempt at a color script for the film!


An illustration assignment using a long thin panel, conveniently appropriated for film work!


Another quick assignment, working from the ending of The Golden Compass.


I also ended up doing a couple sketches of Megalow, an aging magical girl. Unfortunately it would appear that magical sparkle powers don't translate quite so well to real world skills--she's ended up homeless in New York City, carting around her collections of anime memorabilia in her very own shopping cart.




"What else have I been drawing, besides schoolwork?"
"Oh. A bunch of sloppy sketches of Haruki and friends."

Okay! So I'm behind! I haven't posted everything I've done in the past couple weeks!

Here's just some quick beat boards I did today because I had them on hand!

In this incarnation, Haruki Nakamura is a reformed supervillain who is trying to get on with his life*, sans-magic, but weird shit just keeps getting in the way.

*as a powerful junior executive of a major entertainment company. He was never going to be a complete goody-two-shoes.

A lot of what I've been doing is working on this story . . . drawn out in storyboards . . . about Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Frankenstein hiking together through the Alps. But I really don't know how to post that here, so you get links!

The Cliffs of Insanity (part 1)
and here we have (part 2)



I think I liked this one better as a thumbnail. :B

And aside from that it's mostly commissions?
I'm never ever sure where I should put these?







Finally I am trying to learn needlefelt! I have no idea how to photograph things, is all I have to say.
