First Pass Phoenix Kite

So here's an initial texutre pass for the phoenix kite for our senior project. I like the way the colors are going so far, so I think my next focus will be on specularity and displacement. There will be portions of the kite that have a thinner weave, creating a translucent effect so opacity maps and the like will be forthcomming.

Lion and the Mouse mattes

So this is what has caused me to drop off the face of the earth lately. Lion and the Mouse is a film here at school that has been in production longer than I've been here. It's almost done, adn lately I've been working on mattes for it. We're taking the exsisting mattes and adding some more elements to strengthen composition...so in the pics below I've painted all the trees, rocks, and far away background elements. Very fun! I'll post some close-up's of the individual elements later.

Teacups

Quick sketch done in Photoshop in about 45 minutes. Can you tell I'm trying to avoid dong my homework?

This is part of how I spend my days...lighting for Pajama Gladiator. In this sequence Eli is in a dark room where the doors crack open and spill in light. Obviously, this is the dark part :) Yey for RenderMan!

Sketchy behavior

Some stuff from my sketchbook...sigh, wish I was still at Disneyland. But school will be good this semester. Busy--but good!

Anaheim Station

More sketchy happiness

Sketches from yesterday...New Orleans Square and a sketch colored up for 7 Days of Sketching

Disneyland sketchy goodness

So here's some sketch work I did last night while waiting for Ben to get off work. If I get anything good done tonight while I wait, I'll post it too. I've been focusing on backgrounds some more, and I'm really enjoying it. I may also color these up. Cheers!

Watercolor work

Here's some of the work that I've been doing for Cafe Tu Tu Tango...it's been nice to force myself to paint...I haven't worked traditional in so long, that it's really reminding me of how much I love painting.

Another bad girl post

So after the Queen of Hearts...we now have a blood-sucking Vampiress...good fun, just cleaning up some old sketches.

More fun

The Red Queen from Alice in a vectorish style. Cheers and croquet.

Fun stuff

Been busy getting in to the grove of my internship at Renegade...and the Flash style has been giving me ideas. Here's some of the silly stuff I've come up with.

Dragon concept

So here is some concept art for the feature film I'm working on right now. There will be more to come as it has been decided that the beastie will be brownish green rather than Smaug-esq red. Cheers.

La la la

This is some of the stuff I've been working on lately. My husband got his wisdom teeth out today, so I've had some hours to just play a bit. Nice to draw some stuff just because.

This first piece was my last final of the year-Corel Painter

These next two are compilations from my sketchbook. I've been working on backgrounds more, since that's what I ultimately want to do.

This one was one of the above sketches painted over in Painter, just for practice and kicks.

This one was just a guy from church that I drew in my sketchbook and decided to break out for some color practice.

3D texturing extravagnanza

So this is really the type of stuff that I spend my days doing. Cheers!

Ticked Chick

Painter assignment happiness...and some other animals

For kicks and giggles...and stress relief

I did this one just to be painting something that was completely non school or work related. Chessa is a character for a comic that I've sorta got on the back burner...one of those "Someday I'd like to" things.
