Bye Bye Blackbird

Two images with nothing in common. One is a development piece for my second year film, also a layout assignment... the other one is Amelia being Amelia. and Zel being sad... which is more or less Zel being Zel. It was a gift for Sam King.

Exit > Running

Her little hair-flick is actually in homage of Lina Inverse's hair from Slayers. I thought it was appropriate since we've managed to watch nearly the entire series in as little as a month. Here's a quick drawing of her while i'm up sick and failing to storyboard/plan layouts.

In my failure, at least, i've collected a happy amount of reference. 1920s, children's rooms - messy children's rooms - winter and old tin toys.

My second year film characters.

a sneak peak of my film character for this year!

Hey Diddle Diddle

The Cat and the Fiddle.

Thomas plays a mournful melody in remembrance of his beloved soulmate who was caught by a string maker only days before. Unable to bear the weight of grief at losing her, the last thing he could do was steal the strings woven from her gut. He now plays to remember her as they can be together in song.

For Dan's layout class using the prompt of a washing machine (the one pictured here is an early 1600s model), a violinist and a chair. It should be noted that Catgut String is a misnomer as the strings were actually made out of cattle, sheep or goat gut. But I prefer the play on words and, being a person who loves cats, found this story more tragic when using the term literally.

Layout class.

Xelloss

Three different styles of the same character. I watched all of Slayers recently with my friends and I've always found him quite fun to draw, so I played with it and had fun.

Old stuff, Creatures and Critters

Work from Leo Hobaica's Color and Design class. Funny enough, the Baba Yaga painting was stolen and then magically returned to me at the end of the year. I actually have no idea where the 5 foot painting of the snakes is.




Angela Lansbury and George Hearn as Mrs Lovett and Sweeney Todd.




Someday I will make this movie. Just you wait.

Done for Basic Perspective - Patience is a virtue.

I thought I would actually try updating my blog. This is a test-post. Some old things that I did during my first year. Not really a huge fan of it, but there you are.
