Sketchbook Spread Numero Dieci

Inspired by TANGLED. hehe I love the concept art of Victoria Ying and Claire Keane's paintings for the movie.  Awesome. C:

Sketchbook Spread Numero Nove

Well, it's not yet finished, but here are my friends and I drawn in a 20's cartoon style....XD  I tried....

In the bottom right-hand corner are The Green Hornet and Kato.  They DO NOT belong to me. :P

Sketchbook Spread Numero Otto

Scott Pilgrim isn't mine and neither is Seychelles.  The line Lovina is saying in the top right is inspired by my friend quoting The Godfather.

Walk Cycle Version 2.0

I redid the whole thing!  But, it still looks kinda weird...O_o

Maria

A picture of an original character I drew on Photoshop C5.  This took I'd say two to three hours... :P

She's for a story a friend and I are writing.

Ghost Hunters!

This was my major art project for the weekend...

The Ghost Hunters were at the Ala Moana Barnes n Noble on Sunday and since I couldn't go, a friend of mine got a copy of this picture signed for me.XD  Yay!

In this picture are Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, Amy Bruni, Britt Griffith and Adam Berry.

Cat Tail Version 3.0!

The tail actually swishes back!O_o

Here's my first try at a walk.  Lol she looks weird.  This is Seychelles from Hetalia by the way, so she's not my character.  She belongs to Hidekaz Himaruya...:D

Sketchbook Spread Numero Sette

Sketches of Lovina and a bunch of characters who aren't mine... :P

Some notes too...lol

Green Hornet and Kato (C) George W. Trendle and Fran H. Striker

Sketchbook Spread Numero Sei

Lovina's Laugh

Lovina Vespucci

Here's my character that I am going to be using for the expressions and gestures animation exercise. I had to simplify her a bit for it so she would be easier to animate though...XD Her original design is in my fifth sketchbook spread.

Sketchbook Spread Numero Cinque

These are some sketches for a story I'm writing...XD Copyright: Me! But, I sketched the Wizrds of Waverly Place living room for interior design inspiration...haha

Sketchbook Spread Numero Quattro

Nyokki and Penne by Sanrio Japan

Two adorable Italian kittens I love.  The stop-motion is awesome.

Sketchbook Spread Numero Tre

The infamous ball bounce!XD

Sketchbook Spread Numero Due

I was sketching random people at a surprise birthday party I went to...XD

Food for Thought

Snack Cravings + Boredom = This baby.

Sketchbook Spread Numero Uno

This is what you draw when you're bored before and during Italian class.  My professor is the perfect person to sketch if you want to get hand motions down.  (And I know put the color order for the flag wrong.  It's Green, White and Red.)

Male PMSing...

This is what happens when you watch Phantom of the Opera with a dude.

Neko no Shuukai~ by Makoto Shinkai

This is basically the kind of animation I love.  Obviously, I my taste lies in the very complex and detailed ways of Japanese animation, but that's just the kind of person I am: very detail-oriented.  The realism in the lighting, the colors and the animation itself is just too awesome to me!  The contrast of the cat's simple design to all the other characters and the background is cute.  I also like the comedic aspect to this.  I love the unusual plots and unique characters that the Japanese always seem to come up with.  I've also been a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki since I was a toddler. (The very first VHS I owned and first movie I ever watched was My Neighbor Totoro.)  I also enjoy American animation, thus my dream to work at Disney.

Here's another short that obviously is just a rough animation.  It's by J.G. Quintel, who is the creator of Regular Show.  He has extremely avant-garde plots but his characters match them perfectly.  The expressions are believable and they seriously act like people who you can meet anywhere nowadays!  I seriously did not want to watch that at all because of how stupid I thought it was, but a couple of friends told me to give it a chance and now I think it is hilarious.  This short is kinda vulgar because of swearing and other topics, but we're all here to see animation styles, right?  (That was a warning.)

"Sketchbook" quote

"Sketching is to the artist what shadow boxing is to a boxer, keyboard practice is to a concert pianist, practice is to a tennis player, or a participant in any sport (or endeavor)."  

"Never sit in front of the TV without a sketch pad on your lap."

(A bunch of sketches from the Kappa episode of Destination Truth on Syfy.)

Adventure 101

The main cast in full-color!80  I had a lot of fun designing them.  Especially because of who they're all inspired by... hehe Ignore that ink blot. (You see it... :P)  I inked and colored this with Copics while in an airplane flying over the Pacific, so something must have gone wrong with my black inking pen... Oh well.  This was also an artwork I included in my ACM portfolio.

The Dreaded Gum Wall

For those of you who watch 'Ghost Adventures' on Travel Channel, this was what popped into my head when Zak pushed Aaron towards the gum wall.  I sketched it right away in front of the TV.  (I thought the wall was nasty and pretty cool looking at the same time.)  I designed these characters a while ago, but yes, they are inspired by the GA crew.  One's a girl because I thought there was a need to have one.  These characters are a part of a series I made up called 'Adventure 101', which will be "premiering" in class...

Campus Center Sketches

Here's a sketchbook page that I included in my portfolio submission for ACM 215/216...  If you see anyone you know... Yeah...

Food Fight!

Ciao!  This is my very first post, and it's a sketch of some characters of my friend and mine in a food fight-ish pose. This is based on one of the many stories that we write together.  My friend and I are in it too.  (See if you can spot me. lol) The title pretty much says it all.  Please excuse my French.
