Spacey

I have 3 projects I can't share yet! One of them I'll be able to share in December, but for my lonely November post all i can offer are these little fingerprint-sized doodles of the Astroblast characters! I can't wait for you guys to see the premiere of the show. It's SO CUTE

So until next time (where maybe i'll have a picture of my desk and stuff?) Here's some space animals:

Big News for October!

Hi again! It's (without a doubt) the best month of the year! So I'm even more excited to announce some big news that just happened recently!

Right now I am currently working with Soup2Nuts on a show premiering next year called "AstroBlast!" under the design team! This means that ideally i'll be busy for the next year doing stuff with an incredible group of artists! SOUPER FUN STUFF AMIRIGHT?

I also recently got to do some spooktacular halloween designs for Hero4Hire! I can't believe what a fun project this one was!

Lastly, here's a sneak peek of what was supposed to be for last month's update (woops) and will hopefully be finished soon:

I wonder what this sparkly mess is all about?!


That's all for September thru October! See you next time!

Pastel Birthday Illustration!

This month it looks like I'll be a bit busy with projects that are in the rough progress stages, so hopefully by the next couple of months I'll be able to share news on that!

For now, here's a little something I made for a VERY belated birthday gift. I like to try to incorporate all of a friends' interests in one chaotic image:

Have a wonderful August! More to come in September

Even though it's July doesn't mean its not cold somewhere!

This month I made a piece about gundams with a slight Aztec spin to it. I like that in Aztec glyphs there's a technicality and cleanness to the construction of it. Adding to the appeal of the story of the Popol Vuh (a Maya story but bear with me here) with the 13 gods of the underworld, whose designs also have a pieced together look, I thought the marriage of relic and robot would be a fun illustration to try myself.

This month I also thought it might be fun to post some scans of my sketchbook... since my current one is almost full, too! The ones below are done from staring at pinterest photos, so pardon my addiction to pinning!!

That's all I can show you for this month, see y'all in August!

Tufts Medical

This month I had another great opportunity that was finally put up online, this time I illustrated for Tufts for an article on language!

Both the Tufts Now page and the Tufts.edu homepage has the artwork featured! Take a look at all the great spotlights below.

Another great month to read up on all things art and language; read up on the article below! See you all next month!

Brandeis Magazine!

Recently I got the opportunity to do a really fun full page for Brandeis Magazine! Check it:

Had to put a snarling beast in there somewhere! This time around I had a lot of process work, too. Here's how it goes:

 The two things that didn't change from the beginning from here on was the dragon and the figure. Streamers were removed, although a great party element. Maybe TOO much party.

 Things are moving along neater now. Pose changes, more elements have been brought in. Now its really starting to look like the final!

Then some quick color studies are done, and the dragon's neck and the circular window is changed. All the elements are starting to make much more sense now, and I then redraw the piece for the final.

Finally, ta da! The illustration is finished and the piece's colors were reproduced wonderfully.


See y'all next time!

The Grand Adventures at Hero4Hire Creative!

So this post is a tad overdue, since I've been done with my internship for a few weeks now, but here is an overview of the things I got to work on/help with!

First and dearest to my heart was getting to work on a "5 second friday" which was something I got to design for while my friend and fellow intern Mari did the animation for it!

Go see it here ---> The Fat Cat Trampoline

For reviews,  I did up a few sheets to summarize the work done for it

 

After that, I got to work on a map of how to get to their studio from the building! There were a few mistakes along the road.. but I got there! And I found out some of the quirky aspects of their building, hm!

Another little thing I got to do was do sketches for designs for a tv show concept with the other artists at the studio! So so cool! I hope the pitch works out and I see the show on tv some day (whether I was useful or not! some of these are kind of derp)

To be completely honest, my favorite part of this experience was the people I met! It's changed my perspective a lot, and i appreciate every single one of them for it!
