Redgirl Coloring

Well, the fun detail seems to get lost here... but whatevs. I'm still busy.

This is not how I want my model colored for my animation, it was just the newest lineart I had around to use for my last coloring assignment. Any issues?

Btw, my stop motion piece will be done by friday, otherwise I have socializing to do and moving.

Also is everyone just busy? or is the blog dying? :/

Masquerade

I'm not dead, I'm just spending 80 percent of my time in a black windowless room where no one can see me. And, well, finals.

I made this title card for Meg Hamann's senior project short animated film. It's super awesome and you should totally see it and the other seniors' films (including Jacob's) at the film screening next Friday at MCAD. DO IT.

A Sacrament

As promised, one of those rather short short stories I write in an hour or two and inflict on you people.

Sunset scratchboard

Well,

As none of you likely care enough to remember, you have been largely spared my updates due to my being buried up to my elbows in a novel. Well, you're out of luck, the first draft is done and, while I have a couple of ideas for other long pieces (one novella and another novel) I will likely be focusing on shorter works again for a while, there are three or four ideas especially that I'm interested in exploring. So that's neat.

I would love to be able to post an excerpt or something to prove my point, but I really don't know what I could post out of context that would have any meaning.

So back again, it's been quite a while (oh noes!). These are a bunch of doodles I did the other day trying to establish a good lead/antagonist to a short animation I want to do. Specifically, the beginning of this song evokes images of a surly giant thundering into a town (think like a western, but mythical and w/ different architecture).

Any opinions on which doodle I should expand from?

Just a little bit of Florence underneath those Cheerios. Ah, so shiny.

Tooth fairy back from vacation

This started out as a scifi drawing, then became steampunk, and now is finally a modern tooth fairy. I have no idea how that happened.

z day

Getting down there. Almost time to install. These pots are both the same view of San Marco's, one stretched outward and one pulled in.

Mother?

Inspired by a true story... a poem, after the break.

So Cold it Burns

Playing around with GIMP, and brushes I could find online.

Where has Shannon been?

I've managed to drop the ball hardcore on this, between school, packing for my eventual moving back in with the parents and getting a new job. I have been working on some things, but it's more on the every-3-days schedule instead of daily >_>

Here's some doodles from a comic I've been working on for a while! These are all directly scanned from my sketch book, eventually I'll get around to cleaning them up with Photoshop...

Secretly tiny

It's a jellyfish onion...onion jellyfish...thing. Yep. :\

One of my most successful so far, this is the front steps of the Duomo in Florence.
