Wizard of Oz Character Lineup - Pencil/Photoshop

Wow, the semester is almost over.  I can't believe how much I've experienced and created this semester.  It's such a fantastic time here at school.  There have been so many lectures and inspiring artists come to visit.  I am very excited to get going with my film.  I'm going to go finish the animatic right now, so enjoy this for the time being.  Character design for Phil's class.  Wizard of Oz, as if you didn't know.  I tried to give it an old illustrated book feel in this final lineup.  Off to work I go.  More to come over winter break.

Looking forward

Here's a little procrastination sketch, just to clear my head a little.
I realize that I haven't posted here much lately.  I'll rectify that over the Thanksgiving break.
This semester has been pretty amazing.  New computers in the labs, new and wonderful classes, great teachers.  It's pretty wonderful.  Doing a (very short) film this year.  Still working on the story boards, but hope to have an animatic in the next two weeks.  I don't know if I'll be posting that here, but I promise there will be some  film related art showing up.

Fishing in Paris - Photoshop

Beautiful Decay

In doing some research for a story assignment, I discovered the work of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre.  This is just so inspiring, I had to share.  Their photography, from what I can gather, is mostly of vacant, abandoned, and forgotten buildings and landmarks.  Their photographs of "The Ruins of Detroit" is simply stunning.  It's impossible not to be electrified by these images.  There's an article about the Detroit photos on TIME, with a little more insight about the locations,  just click here.

The colors on these gouache scans is just terrible. I swear they aren't as snot colored in person.

Muppetization

My buddy Ronnie is awesome. The only way he could be more awesome, is if he was a Muppet:
Just a doodle that occurred one night at CSSSA. Miss you CSSSA buddies!

I don't have a scanner right now, so this will have to do for the time being. Thanks Photo Booth!

Something I hardly see

Sometimes staying up all night has its rewards. I got to see this todayWhat a good way to start the day. Off to work on my film, with new-found inspiration.
