Sickness

I've been sick lately, so the story is yet again pushed back. I should stop mentioning it to not bring your hopes up... :) It'll be done I promise! I'll probably;y post bit by bit (Part 1, Part 2, etc...) because it's a bit long. I have added more drawing to it though.... Here's another sample... Not my favorite, The shell is a bit off. But I think the head it cute.

Getting there...

So the story is almost done... I kept being unsatisfied with the story and thought it was too cliche or that I've read it before, but now it's going somewhere, and I'll have it done by the end of the week.

The book should be done soon as well. I have the drawings laid out, so once the story is done and done, I'll order the book. I'm excited! I've never done anything like this before. kinda proud of myself, must say... :D

Hello world...

I didn't realize people were commenting on my blog! Thank you for the lovely comments! :D

I haven't had internet access at home for a couple of days, there's something wrong with my router, so I'm doing this all at work. Probably shouldn't, but, whatever....

Busy day!

Oh, what a busy, busy day at work!! I'm taking a little break to post this....

Specimen #21

Don't have much to say...Here's a picture...:

Two drawings

So, I ended up creating 2 portfolios because I had too much stuff. One is general drawings, and the other is specifically to the Mysterious Ones project. The book and story are coming along. By next paycheck, I'll have the books ready, and I'll put them up on etsy. I guess, if you don't have a video, then, no one cares about your kickstarter project. :(
I want to do this regardless, plus, it will look great for grad school! :)

Another specimen...

And another... because why not...

More creatures and portfolio

I revamped my online portfolio.

I asked one of my former college professors at Carnegie Mellon if she would write me a recommendation for graduate school. She was my 'Writing for Multimedia' professor, where I learned story boarding and flash as an alternate method of writing and story telling, which is basically what I want to go to grad school for. She said she would "love" to write me a recommendation and that she "loved the way [I] approached [my] work as well as [my] results" (yay!!). This of course made my month. :) But, she wants to look at more of my work, not just the Flash animations I made in her class. I decided, instead of clogging her inbox with .jpg after .jpg, I decided to update and improve my online portfolio to show her more of my artwork.

For now, here's another specimen:

Enjoy!

Another push for my Kickstarter Project and Etsy store.....

As the weeks go by, I'll be posting some stuff from my Grad School portfolio. For now, more fetal creatures found by Dr. Chesterfield.

I don't have the list of number specimens and titles. This post will be without them. but I will post more often.

Also, to be pushy ( :b ) I started a Kickstarter project and i put some original drawings in my Etsy store. Please take a look!

Thanks for reading!!

Been Busy

I've been busy lately. I'm applying to grad school. my greatest fear is not getting into any of the 10 schools I'm applying to, and losing all of that money that I will inevitable spend on application fees (they are on average $80 an application, so that's about $800 just to send them my name and address), not including portfolios and all that. But, hey, it's worth a try. Please wish me luck! I;m strating to big projects, the etsy store is mainly to pay for these application fees.

I've started a KickStarter project. I can't really make a video. I would like to just be able to show a bunch of drawings, but they don't let you, so I don't know if this will get funded. but it's worth a try.:

The Mysterious Ones

And I'm selling stuff on Etsy. More drawings/prints to come! If the book gets funded, I'll be selling that too!:

Now for something new....
Oh the details.......

Another Specimen

I don't have the list of Specimen numbers, as I am at work right now.... :) I'll post it later.

This one reminds me of a holy man, I suppose, with a halo.

Thanks for looking!

Specimen #48a (Aviary)

Here's another one that I didn't put in my portfolio, but it's part of the series.

Specimen #59

This is another one that's part of the series on my portfolio, but I didn't include in the portfolio, as it's not one of my favorites. This is 'Specimen #59.'

I realize I should have given the number to the one below as well: 'Specimen #55.' They aren't part of any group.

I'll eventually start posting the ideas of the story behind the specimens. But that's in the very first stages. I might make a separate website for just the specimens and story... We'll see.

Portfolio

Wow, so I haven't updated in a long time. I created a portfolio at Carbonmade. Feel free to look around!

The Mysterious Ones

I started creating a story instead of just sketching. We'll see where that goes. I'll start posting more again, now that I have access to a scanner again....

The above drawing isn't in the portfolio. It's probably my least favorite of the series, but it's part of the series nonetheless.

Thanks for looking!!

Mummy

So I haven't posted in a while due to the fact that I don't have a scanner and my job has been horribly horrible and I haven't been able to use the scanner. Because I haven't posted in such a long time, I'll post 2! I originally intended this to be Halloween thing, but I think the winter holidays are just as good a time as any.

I wanted to draw a mummy and this is what ca

me of it. A bandaged creature and then the same creature not band

aged. I drew the bandaged one first, was unsatisfied, and then drew the other one. As a team, I like them.

More color...

This drawing (color pencil on black paper) is much larger than this. It is unfinished, but I don't really feel like finishing it. Mainly because this didn't turn out the way I had originally planned (I wanted a dragon breathing blood not fire and this creature floating away from it). And because my original intention were all originally supposed to be in red and oragne, I drew the outlines of everything in red. And you can see them.

But various people seem to like it so I'm posting it.
