Masquerade

This took me a lot longer than I expected and I keep changing my mind on how I feel about it but overall, I'm please enough with it to show it here.

This one isn't signed because I'm selling 25 prints, each individually signed and numbered, on Etsy. Once I find the right frame, I'll sell the currently signed original too. As stated in the previous post, this is a costume design based on Georgian fashion (think Moliere to Marie Antoinette, also referred to as Rococo. It's what Europe was doing when the U.S. was in it's Colonial period). I took some artistic license and simplified the style some. This is 5" x 7" on watercolor paper.

Masque WIP

I'm running late for class so I'll actually describe this piece when it's done. I was having a "wow, my hands and my artsy brain are totally in sync" moment while working on this.

This is going to be absolutely adorable when it's done and I'm going to sell prints of it online.
To my fellow costume buffs out there, yes that is a French gown. It needed to happen.

Victorian Reader ACEO

Here's another ACEO. I haven't done anything costume history-y in awhile so I figured I'd draw a Jubilee-era woman reading in a garden.

As with the previous ACEO, the original sketch is on the back. I have both the original for sale on Etsy, as well as a limited number (25) of prints for a lower cost.

Steampunk Portrait ACEO

I've finally posted on my Etsy again. I finished another ACEO today and I'll try to post some consistently everyday for awhile. I can't dwell too long on this post since I have to go to class soon but here they are:

 

The finished version is the front and the back is the original sketch, which is the reverse of the final. I drew the sketch first in reverse so I could ink the final over my lightbox. The gold ink is metallic.

rock vs. feather

This is Monday's assignment. Yay me for being done with it early! Wednesday's assignment will take some doing though since my new computer can handle AfterEffects, unfortunately.

This assignment was to have a rock and a feather falling to show the difference in weights and how it creates believability in animation. Please crit mercilessly, since I have time to work on it before I have to turn it in.

flash, finally

The Computer Animation Studio course for my certificate started tonight. Our assignment was the classic "animate a ball bouncing" and this is the first worthwhile animation I've made in Flash (I seriously hope it plays since all my computers always, always hate .mov files). Yeah, its really boring and really generic but its a big step in the right direction for me so shush up. Posting this is really just a ploy to show past animations in the brand new "Links you might like:" app I've added to the end of every post. Enjoy that.

Scan-n-Stitch

So apparently my scanner is made of magic. It can look at a picture and stitch it all together. Kinda epic.
I tested it on Timeline, since its a large piece that I'm proud of. It also received my highest number of favorites on deviantART so I've been wanting to get a higher quality picture digitized.
Clearly not perfect but I just started using it and it still works a lot better than what I've been doing so far. The corners got cut off a bit but the line quality is completely intact and the color quality is dead-on. Thank you Epson :D

I'm working on a storyboard for my final class tomorrow night so hopefully I can do something about posting that soon. Also, I'm attempting to go back and scan my costume designs by year and semester so I can post them without breaking the bank.
