XIX- Animated Logo


          With the stop motion project we also had to create an animated logo and this is what I came up with. I designed the logo myself using photoshop and the "sword" sound was one I found on the computer (if anyone knows where it came from please let me know) and the music is mine that I put together in GarageBand.

XVIII- Purse Party StopMotion


          I took a class called LOAF (Language of Animation & Film) where we spent the entire quarter working on a stop motion animation. The concept I went with was for the objects in my purse would come out and dance to the "Spice Girls" when I wasn't looking. The film itself took about three days (give or take a few hours), and involved a camera, tripod, a small table and large chairs, a white sheet, a couple of lights, and of course my purse with all it's contents. I put the shots together (which were like 2000 maybe more) on AfterEffects CS5 and cleaned it up using iMovie.

XVII- Perspective Projects




          One of my first classes at the Art Institute of Colorado was a class called "Perspective and Proportion." I ended up creating 10 pieces in the class but I only had three favorites. The first one shown is the "Icy Clock Tower" project done in 3 point perspective. The second piece is my most favorite of the perspective pieces called the "Dark Congo" project where we were supposed to do it in multiple perspective and we had to put a TARDIS in it. The third was supposed to be in 2 point perspective and had to either be hobbit hole/fairy tale looking or old western... I decided to do both. And the last one was our final for the class and it was a free for all (any perspective any subject), and I did a Persian themed city. Done with .7, .5, and .3 size graphite mechanical pencils on 17x14 Bristol Boards.

XVI- Lock and Loaded


          A fun piece I did that started as a sketch and then I photoshopped it. This is a fan art piece of (if you haven't already guessed) Harley Quinn from the Batman series wielding an RPG-7. A fun pose and was really fun to put together. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

XV- Disney Princess Series













          These are a part of a series I did purely out of boredom at I was going to compose them into a calendar but I never got the chance. They were meant to be a little odd but some of them ended coming out pretty cute. This was also an experiment for ethnicity studies cause I wanted every princess to actually look like their ethnicity (skin color, eyes, hair). Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

XIV- Dark Wings Characters



          These are a couple of characters from Dark Wings. The top one is one of the supporting villains Selaina who is a Blood Mage. The second one is a supporting character Arukmis Wingates who is a Fire Mage. Mostly did it for posing characters. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.

XIII- Dark Wings: Zodiac Series













          This was a time consuming but very fun series I did of the zodiac possessed characters in my webcomic Dark Wings. This was an experiment on straight digital painting (meaning without line work) and a great way for me to play with the zodiac's color combinations. I used all 12 for a 2010 calendar. There is a whole lot of information on each of these which can be viewed on my DeviantArt zodiac gallery. Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Tablet.
