Bird pattern

So here are some birds...
I'm not completely sold on the composition, but I don't know what to change. Also in the work for surface design I have jellyfish, sharks, and woodland critters for now. I want to get at least 8 so I can have a part of my website for surface designs.

Raccoons, Raccoons, and Raccoons!!!

Hey so Monday's I have a 'concept art for film and television' class. We're reading a creepy boring book called the "Prophecy Machine" really odd creatures in the book. Our first assignment because of the creatures in the book we had to combine ourselves with an animal. I of course chose to merge with a raccoon. I attempted a more realistic painterly thing for the creature. It was super creepy then I did a vector character which is still sort of odd but it more fashion based and honestly a lot less creepy.

The slightly uncreepy vector raccoon girl fashion and pattern influenced.

This is the really creepy painterly-ish version, fortunately I leaned what I want the final piece to look like from doing this.


Finally for professional practices and well because it's a good idea made a postcard it's showing the current techniques that I'm using as well as subject matter that I really enjoy and is honestly cute.

Snow and Deja Vu- IF

Snow time is here again. I love how pretty it makes things look, but the last semester of my senior year of my undergrad is tomorrow so I don't want classes to be canceled. I need to scan frames and watch those play backs then tighten and composite by the next day which is Thursday.

My fiance and I got to have fun snow time and got to create beautiful art. Hopefully when people go to their cars in the morning they will be thrilled or at least their children will be thrilled.



On a not so related topic we have this weeks Illustration Friday topic "Deja Vu". I live in Lancaster and because of all the Amish and PA Dutch hex patterns and well patterning in general the buildings in the city actually have these loud patterns on them. The city of Lancaster PA is also known for their monster attacks (it is not just Tokyo and NYC). So I think we've all learned a little bit more about Lancaster PA and what the towns folk here have to deal with.

I guess this is my fist finished shot.

So last week I uploaded the pencil test of Multifunctional Laser Tiger fist using his laser powers. Today I think it's pretty close to finished I'm saving all of my color correction to the end of this project just to consolidate time.

I had another shot that is pretty close to finished and will be finished by next Thursday. It was the shot I was working on during break and it was the first shot of the tiger running through the jungle. I didn't really do much tweening of the head at all so he looks kinda special waggling his head about. I think I can have that done by tomorrow night. That said I haven't really touched that crappy Maya model for my Tuesday class and I'd like to not have a bad grade. I also have the acting yet on the bakers dozen part of my Tuesday animation which I need to make look less chunky.

Finally I got told my a professor Christina Hess that taking concept art would be a good thing for me over the game design class. Where as many of my other professors were trying to pressure me into taking game design. Christiana is a fellow patterning lover and she's been helping me out with the textures and colors I've been using for my background concepts. I really appreciate some encouraging words especially late in the semester when I feel greatly discouraged about several nouns.

So I'm going to leave you off with the finished for now shot of MLT firing his lasers. (The song has a sorta 8bit electric feel so that buzzing you hear is part of the song in this part.)
