Found Items Doodles

I did these for a class Im taking on CGMA with Nate Wragg.  They were such a fun exercise I want to continue doing them in the future.  Hope ya'all enjoy! :D

Here are some illustrations I did for the book "Thumbelina" with Ustyme.  We wanted to give a cultural twist to the commonly westernized story so we set it in Japan.  It was very fun thinking how to restylize this childhood classic.  To see more illustrations from this book please check out the Ustyme app!

originally we tried a polynesian theme.  I had a lot of fun designing these characters!

Lately I've been doing some freelance with the company Ustyme.  These are some illustrations from the first children's book I did with them called "The Three Wishes".  It was such a fun story to work on, I really enjoyed myself!  If you want to see more of the book, please check it out on the Ustyme app!

Spring is in the air

I just realized I never posted the other seasonal sprite paintings so here ya go!  March is here, so here's to warmer weather, sunshine and blooming flowers!

Jem

I did a sketch Dailies!  WOO!  Jem is one of those things I remember from my childhood but I think I was a little too young to really get it.  I just remember thinking she was cool and I needed pink hair.  Pronto.

Check out Sketch Dailies!  They are super cool!

Royal Jelly

I started taking a Character Design class over at Animation Collaborative with Chris Sasaki and Daniel Arriaga a couple weeks ago.  It is so much fun!  We are working on a story called Royal Jelly.  The story involves a worried mother a baby who isn't eating and a father who is CRAZY into bees.  He decides to give their baby royal jelly and it starts turning her and himself into bees.  Totally trippy, right?  Gotta love that Roald Dahl!

Anyways, this week we were assigned to try designing in a medium we have never used before.  In class we explored using magazine cutouts which was so interesting to me that I decided to continue to explore it in my homework.  So here is some of my work.  Hope you enjoy!

Snow Snow Snow…
