My cover for Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake: Issue #3!!! SO EXCITING! If you’re sitting there being like, “hey, that looks familiar,” you’re right! It’s a parody of the famous Conan the Barbarian cover done by the almighty Frank Frazetta. Thanx to AD Adam Staffaroni of Boom! Studios and, of course, Fionna/Cake creator Natasha Allegri. Go pick one up at your local comic shop around mid-January!

BLUH BLUH

So this is a thing that happened. For Fantasy Art we got an assignment to draw some SWEET HARRY POTTER FANART to submit to Gallery Nucleus' HP tribute show. For some reason, I decided to draw all of the quidditch teams of Harry's second year BECAUSE I AM INCREDIBLY SILLY. So here they are for your viewing pleasure. I'm probably gonna clean these up some and make prints for MoCCA, which I will be attending in April!

Feather Island

Another piece for Fantasy Art of some sexy bird ladies. It's based off of a 1700's French novel describing a resort island where there are only eternally young women and the noble ladies grow feathers instead of hair and hatch out of bird eggs and stuff. Pretty sassy.

EVERYONE IS CYLONS

Oh hey, welcome back, life! Here's a couple of posters I did for Dan's independent study on the theme of a vice and a virtue! I chose "sloth" and "diligence" because I like drawing lazy sexy ladies and comically burly men.





I'm pretty pumped about these!

Other characters!

More secondary characters from my thesis pitch!

Here are the Rock Band in-game avatar characters that the main characters created. They describe a little more about each character's personality...


And here are Ji's angry Korean parents:

and her annoying little brother who also happens to be a super genius:


AND MOST EXCITING OF ALL, THE RIVAL BAND!!! They are jerks sort of.

Left to right they are the ranked Korean Starcraft player, the Rebel girl (who Ji not-so-secretly wants to be), the pushover GameStop worker, and the douchebag guy who plays his guitar in the cafeteria and has a gig playing bad RHCP covers at the local coffee shop.

OH MY!

thesis work!!!

I started my thesis work a few weeks ago! After three weeks of sketching and fiddling and fine-tuning and writing tons of episode ideas, I am almost ready to finalize my character designs.

What's that? You want to know what my thesis is about? WELL I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. I'm doing a pitch book for a kid's animated series, like something you'd see on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. It will include character designs, episode synopses, environment studies, and a little bit of promo art, all bound neatly into a delightful little booklet that can be given to art directors to pitch my idea. Along with this, since I am an animation concentrator, I will be doing some animations, either for the cut-to-commercials or for the opening theme song. COOL, HUH?

The show follows Ji-Young Kim (Ji) and her best friend Aiden Wier, the two best Guitar Hero players in the state, as they discover the video game Rock Band and create their own ragtag team of gamers to compete in the arcade's Rock Band Tournament. They meet their drummer, Mac McMurphy, and their vocalist, Rosalyn "Raz" Stimpson, through some very strange circumstances, and have to grow together to become the ULTIMATE VIDEO GAME BAND!

I started with the character designs, because without characters, where would an animation be? I did a ton of sketching, and when I had a good idea of the characters I did a test group illustration to test colors with. Here are a few that made it to the finals:





After a lot of helpful advice from my crit group and my thesis teacher, Whitney Sherman, I finalized the characters to theseeeeee:



From left to right: Raz (makeover edition), Raz (normal), Mac, Aiden, Ji

I have gotten a ton of mixed reviews on Mac! What do you think, internet?
