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. = )

YOTR: Yumigami

"Ah...Amaterasu. Origin of all that is good and mother to us all... After your departure, I hid myself within the moon's reflection. Consumed by a fish, I patiently awaited this day in its belly. Now that a glimmer of hope has returned, I have returned. I, Yumigami, god of the moon, cover the earth in pale moonlight. Use this light in conjunction with your own on your perilous journey!" ~ Okami

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.

The Discovery Of Tadgh

The final installment for my thesis.

With the string of mysteries so close to coming all together, the otter children sneak out in the night to try to capture the elusive "dock smasher" that has been ruining the hard work of the lakeside community. Only, they did not expect to find what they did.

Helping Mr. Underoot

The third installment for my thesis.

As a punishment for disobeying, the otter kids are sent to help Mr. Underoot with chores and errands for a few days. Aside from being a grouch and recluse, the kids begin to realize that Mr. Underoot is more lonely than mean, and is hiding well the reasons why.

Here, Mr. Undertoot notices William's attention on an old, directional lantern. At first, the badger warns him that it's very old and fragile and not to touch it, but then goes on to explain what it is and how it works.

Mr. Underoot turned out WAY better than I thought he would. On a side note, and revealing more my love for names and meaning, his full name is Bhruic Underoot which basically translates to "badger who lives under the roots."

A Midnight Meeting

Another installment for my thesis.
Blanket fort counsels are serious business.

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.

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.
