some random updates.

Random updates and such. I may upload my film backgrounds sooner or later, I'm pretty happy with how most of them came out (most... I want to go back and make that ALL) but for now, here's some stuff. some school stuff and some stuff I did for fun.

XIII

One piece of artwork for myself to end the winter break. It's full-gear film time now.

Roxas from the Kingdom Hearts series. I played the mid-series game 358/2 Days this break. I very much enjoyed it, so here's my tribute to you Disney/Squenix. Thanks for the fun break.

Vivi

Did this a few days ago after Vincent, it's a speed painting much as he was. Drawing someone else's creation in a style uncommon to them or in a theme you feel fits them is a fun hobby and practice for me. I find it to be a fun practice and something that can both have a lot of thought and done just to relax and have fun. Also, as a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, I thought while working on stressful work (film, comic, etc.) I should do some speed paintings. Perhaps I'll do zidane next? the characters from the 9th game are severely underrated.

unless anyone has a request for who to draw, I tend to stick with my favorites of the games and don't really go outside of them.

Death Penalty

I've been a fan of the Final Fantasy series almost as long as I've been alive (raised by Nintendo, that would be me). So out of nowhere while working on my comic, this just happened. It's like I blinked and I had a painting in front of me. At any rate, speed painting of Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7 (My favorite character from the entirety of the series right after Vivi)

Harvest Noon

for layout class. Unfortunately I ended up missing the day this was due when I woke up with a migraine. argh, dan, i'm sorry! i'll bring it in next class. My favorite season is fall, my favorite holiday is Halloween... but I love Fall in general. Please don't ever take the beautiful palette of this season for granted. I love drawing Maddy, I'm actually excited to animate her.

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.
