New sculpture slowly on the way

Guess who...! Still in the lumpy/blocky stage of sculpting, but when I find time I try to add more detail.

dragon!

Warning! Poor quality photos!!!! will have better ones once I get around to putting him on a better base. But Toothless is done! Unfortunately his tail is already cracking :(





This last picture is pre-sculpey. Just the wire armature and mesh for his wings.

Dr. Sketchy at Titmouse

I think these are ok, but next time will be better!!

Spinning Owl OMG!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Tyto Alba

More barn owl drawings (photo reference) Hoo!

barn owl sketch

Just a quick sketch (with photo reference). Trying to learn more about birds, and I really like owls so I thought I would start here. Night! :)

Still can't sleep

After the last two posts I got in the drawing mood. I think the drawing reflects my sleepiness.. and I like drawing the burrowed brows.

Late night sketchbook post

Wide awake.. just another excuse to add another post. These were drawn I believe last weekend. April and I brought our sketchbooks to the barn and sat down by the baby rabbits. The turkeys were very intrigued by us, and I managed to get a few sketches of them as they stared at us over the fence. When I tried to sit down inside the grassy area with them, they puffed up and wouldn't leave me alone. The brown one kept pecking at my pencil :/

Animation Mentor beginneth

Today is the first day of class at Animation Mentor (excite!) I will be posting here works in progress and final animations. Please feel free to post comments, all critiques are welcome. I hope to breathe some life into the art blog of mine :)

Another animation

Since I am here posting... this is my latest walk cycle. I love drawing horses :3

Tennis exercise

This is the most current version of this animation. Never inbetweened it because I wasn't happy with it yet.

Paintings from last semester

These are my favs, included the Leyendecker baby.

Inactivity

Must... keep... posting......

Dragons!

Been a month since my last post, its about time I return to my blog! I will have lots of stuff to post once finals are over, so stay tuned. For now, here is a dragon I drew for the PMC drawing contest inspired by HTTYD. I like dragons. I gave this guy a jetpack :3

Let's play some tennis!

Next animation assignment... playing tennis! I know nothing about tennis other than that it involves hitting a ball back and forth over a net.. more or less. Still working out the key poses but I think this one will turn out nice =] In 3 weeks or so after it is due I will post a video for all to see.

Carnival

Here is my second character animation assignment. She really wants that teddy bear.

Horse now in color

Colored the horse animation.. looks bland w/o a background so I will probably add one at some point. Horses rock.

Murph

Kira!!

A character from the Dark Crystal. I love the folds in her cloak. The pose is boring and such.. but I think it still looks nice. Working on getting her smoothed out so I can get her in the oven tonight. Even though it is spring break, I still need to stay on schedule. And since I will have extra time this week, I will make sure to post more pics =]

Fabric Study

Learning about hues and mixing paints is a great experience. Tough and frustrating at times.. but great. I am really happy with how this study turned out. It was an in-class assignment so I ran out of time to do the shadow and the wall, but I will most likely add it it later.

Leyendecker Baby

(wip) Hw for my painting class. Need to finish it over spring break.. I think the professor wants to commandeer it for a couple weeks. While working on this, I decided that there should be more blacksmith babies out there.

some life drawing

Just a few drawings from this month. I definitely need to make more time for life drawing.

Coat and Boots

Just made a vimeo account this week. So far so good... I used it to upload my animation assignment. Great alternative to youtube.

As for the animation, it could definitely use more tweaking and a better character design. But it's a big improvement so I can't complain too much :3

Hammer Strike

Quick screen shot of my rough animation for class. She will be attempting to ring the bell in the hammer strike game to win a prize at the carnival.

Leon takes better pictures than me.

That is my left hand. Oh, Mrs. Brisby is there too.
