A Robot With A Dream

Chee Z. Petey's Pizza (An affiliate of McEatie Petey's Family Restaruants) is holding open auditions for animatronic performers. This robot, based very heavily on Science Girl's Ediebots, looks to have a good shot at the job.

Photoshop textures

 I've been learning to make textures for applying to 3d models via Photoshop. Here's what I've done thus far:

Look! I used it to make a sewer! Totally NOT in 3D!

Cowabunga!

Recollection Magazine sketch cards

Sketch cards will be included in an upcoming issue of  Recollection Magazine by the lovely and talented Rusty Ink! Depending on your point of view and how Fate feels about you at the time, you might get one of these three sketch cards depicting golden age comic characters DRAWN BY ME! WOAH! You also might get one of dozens of other characters drawn by one of dozens of other artists. I don't know, my crystal ball is on the fritz.
I give you Supermouse, Golden Girl, and Cat-Man with Kitten!

Storyboard - Ruthie's Dream page 02 - 04

 This was a school project. Using character designs I'd made working from Tom Bancroft's book "Creating Characters with Personality" http://www.amazon.com/Creating-Characters-Personality-Animation-Graphic/dp/0823023494/ref=la_B001IXMGIM_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396363550&sr=1-1 I storyboarded a scene in which the dog Ruthie, who is head-over-paws in love with our hero, Dillon, has a dream that she is human. Human Ruthie goes to the town social where she plans to come between Dillon and Ruthie's owner, Polly. I was allowed to fill in the details of the scene as I chose.

Irish Fairie Art Show

We're having an Irish Fairies and Folklore Art Show at school starting early March. Here are my two entries for the exhibit, The Grogoch and The Puca.
Both were done in Illustrator, as the powers that be decree'd that we would use a flat-ish vectory style. Google Grogoch and Puca for more info on these fairies.

Some character design work.

Character design work. A viking named Gold, and a rough sketch of a Puca. Or, if you prefer, Pooka or Phooka. All spellings seem to be acceptable. Google it.

Background and scenery!

While we can all agree that every aspect of my art needs improvement, I have a sudden and specific interest in improving my backgrounds and overall scenery drawing skills. Here's some practice I did to usher in the new year:
The front room of Cosmo's house:

CatBeard's lair:
