Tiny Monsters

So, there's this app game I play called Tiny Monsters. It's a breed 'em, hatch 'em, hybrid 'em type of game. TinyCo. hosted a contest for players to design a cover photo for their Facebook page. This is my entry, which won. = )

Game Grumps Animated - "Aggro Crag Wait For You Is He's"

My first go at a Game Grumps animatic. Had a lot of fun with this one.

The Fun Will Never End

Sara lives in the Bamboozle Forest in the Land of Wah. Accompanied with her giant ferret companion The Dook, they travel forth on fantastical adventures embarked on the ultimate quest to retrieve their memories.

Life Is Over

Superman is dead.

Vent art about student loans.

Mujina no Uta

Or translasted, "The Badger Song."

This is my submission for a yokai contest I entered (won second place). We were given a color palette at random and needed use only the shades and hues of those colors.
I went with a very flat, vector like image, a compliment to traditional Japanese art. Featured is a giant Mujina, or badger yokai, and the woman is a Noppera-bō, or faceless ghost which the Mujina are sometimes associated with.

YOTR: The Velveteen Rabbit

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

"I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive.

But the Skin Horse only smiled.

First Swim Of The Summer

This is the first installment of my senior thesis. There will be 4-6 total. I'm thinking of posting the rest after opening night of the Senior Illustration Show on April 30th.

"Sugar Booger" - Animatic

Coffee House Hipsters

The "hero shot" of the two main characters for my next animatic.

Gidget - Character Concept

This is Gidget. He's not the brightest of cats, nor the handsomest. He has bad posture and gobbles his food. Definite turn offs to any female feline. So the best he can do is woo the pretty cat picture on the toe of his master's slipper, of which he is absolutely infatuated with. That said, it's near impossible for the dog to fetch the master's slippers when Gidget is schmoozing with one of them on top of the bookshelf.

Character concept for a storyboard/animatic.

Madeline - Character Reference

Reference for one of the otter characters in my thesis.

How Fisher Went To Skyland

"How Fisher Went To Skyland" is a tale that comes from my Chippewa Indian heritage about how the Big Dipper was created. The story can be read here. I wanted to give the impression of the key elements in the story could be seen all at once, telling the story with one image.

The Koi Dance

A more developed piece involving the two mice from my texture images.

Sarcasm At The Ready

My senior portrait at Ringling College of Art and Design.
