I've been doing so much in the last week!

I'm working on a portfolio to apply for some visual development internship/apprenticeship type things. One of the deadlines is really soon, another is a ways off. This is pretty much what I've got so far. There's also a page of rough color keys and frames from a title sequence I've been working on, figure drawings, and animal drawings from the zoo (or based on animals from the zoo). I think I'm also going to be including some images I've already posted on my blog, so I didn't repost them here - but it'll probably be the Sifakas, Phil the penguin jumping into the water, the lighthouse on the island, the snowbeast and the guy jumping off the waterfall. I have no idea how many people actually look at this blog - but if you see any big weak points/obvious gaps, please let me know.









And I'm not too sure about including these lamps

Lonely Lighthouse Island

Sit n' Stay Diner

I'm doing visual development stuff on a diner for dogs. Interior coming soon!

Snowbeast

Whooo!

I really liked this as a super rough, and as I cleaned it up, it started losing something... and I didn't even clean it up that much, I guess. This is hardly a polished work. I feel like I'm not really too sure how to finish pieces.

Knight

I think I wish I'd gone with no outlines on this one, but it kind of evolved without me thinking about it. I was just drawing with no goal in mind. I need to start working on portfolio stuff when I'm not working on this other project.

Ear Upgrade

I dunno where all these line drawings are coming from all of a sudden. I think it's because the project I'm working on is so much the opposite of line drawings.

Sad Tiger

Star Wars

The animajors topic this week is Star Wars. I wasn't so happy with my first contribution, so I started doodling mini versions of the characters. Then the ships. I tried to see how many things I could remember from the original trilogy without looking up pictures of anything. It was tough - there's no Ewok because I kept drawing Ewoks that looked like the sheriff of nottingham mixed with a hamster. And there's no full body Stormtrooper because I was having trouble remembering how their armor segments. I couldn't remember how to draw Boba Fett for pete's sake!
Kudos to anyone who can name everything on this page. I mean, it's all pretty basic stuff - but kudos to you if you can figure out my inaccurate drawings!

Where is SESAME ST!?!

Oh my god! Didn't you bring a map?!

This bird hates winter

Poor bird, it's starting to snow. Clearly wishful thinking on my part however - September in LA is not a snowy season. Well, any month in LA is not snowy.

Geometrees!

A bear among the geometrees
Saw the movie "Beautiful Losers" today - if you get the chance to see it, I recommend it. It totally inspired me to want to make more stuff.

Pirate

Here's a pirate jumping from ship to ship. I'm working on another project which always makes me get sidetracked and do other drawings. I wish I'd gotten her legs more right, but I like the rest. Even though you'd think as someone who loves doing backgrounds I would have spent some time on the background here, haha. Oh well - it's just a sketch.

Phil in France

Laura is off to France for a semester! Wow! So naturally Phil is going there as well. That penguin sure likes wine... but really, who doesn't.

Zombie Gangster

I didn't do the last two animajors topics, so I combined them into one. This morning I was pondering why he doesn't really look like a zombie and I realized he's way too active to be a zombie. So keep in mind - this is an extra undead zombie.
