Yellow Wallpaper

Sketch for a digital painting I'm doing as a mock-cover for The Yellow Wallpaper. I wanted to do something rather different than what's already in my portfolio.

This will be fun! My benchmarks for style are Manet, and just the Victorian era-art :D Maybe a little Rococo.

Final Preview for the night, started the painting :D

My Thesis Animation

My Thesis Animation which I have been working extremely hard on :) Currently unfinished but it's coming along nicely for a 2 minute + Animation.
I've done everything for this animation including the written Story, Animatic/Storyboard, Background and Character Design, Illustration, Animation, even the Music. The entire time I've been advised and helped by some amazing people. Some include Brad Yarhouse, Bill Fischer, Susan Bonner, Mike Dollar, Alisa Bradish, Desiree Bradish, nearly every one of my classmates at school (sorry there are too many to name you all!). I've also had the pleasure of showing this piece to, and having it critiqued Don Hahn (the Producer of The Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast among other things he's worked on), James Surer (Storyboard artist for shows like Kung Fu Panda, and the movie Despicable Me), and Ray Pointer (who worked on shows such as Catdog, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and Tom & Jerry the Movie). I feel honored to have had so much help and input on it by so many people. I know without all my teachers, classmates, friends, and the critiques of the visiting artists, I would not have been able to make this what it is right now :)

Princess for a Day

This little birthday girl believes she is Princess for the day!

Tori and the Dragon

So I'm working on sketches and fully drawn samples to submit for greeting cards/as samples for illustration jobs. Here's one I just finished, this is a character I designed called Tori and her pet Dragon.
