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.

 Part of my Year Of The Rabbit project that went unfinished.

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.

The Romp

 

These are the final designs for the main characters of my senior thesis. From left to right: Christoper, Tomas, Madeline, and William.

The Koi Dance

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

The Gator Witch

"Many have come in hope to find

Remedy for troubled body and mind

And tormented souls do wander through

To seek a cure from a witch's brew

She turns none away when her profession's in need

But always delivers a warning to heed

To tamper with fate is a toss of the dice

For each bargain made comes at a price."

Silhouette/Doodle Variations - Final Concepts

The final three concept images.
