Art Trades

So I have seen a lot of people do Art Trades lately and I really would love to get into that also. I did get to do one art trade with one of my SVA friends. She did a nice picture of Christian and his Siberian fox, Aria. In exchange I made a picture of her character, Julitz and my character, Niko in a more cartoony style:

I picked up this style when I began animating Niko for class assignments (seen below). Though it isn't my usual style, it's still fun to do from time to time. The picture I did for her is actually a bunch of inside jokes rolled up into one. The quote it was inspired from was "We can't stop here...this is bat county" Which, for those who don't know, is from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Strange movie but very funny! Instead of putting them in bat country though, they're in "Rat" country. Why? Because during school, I had a few dorm visits from a little mouse I ended up naming Remy.

Happy Birthday Trey!

Well..extremely belated birthday! Actually Trey's birthday was July 10th but due to getting busy and being distracted it didn't get done on time at all. Ah well. It is done and I'm pretty pleased with it. This is a characature of myself presenting Trey with his shiny new collar I finally designed for him! I made July 10th his birthday because that was my dog's birthday (who would've been a whopping 16 if he was still around!)

Also, on a side note, I've really been getting the hang of cell shading ;) Still practicing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREY! <3

More Animations!

I really should've put these up a while ago. Woops! Some more animations I did my first year:

A dog walk cycle we FINALLY got to do! I was waiting for this assignment the entire year. I was happy with the outcome. The assignment was only to use 8 drawings (16 frames) but being the perfectionist I am...I added inbetweens as well. =P

This was my segment from our class Anijam. Each of us did a few seconds of animation and the next person had to pick up from there and continue it. I was the third one to go for this.

Happy 4th of July and Belated Canada Day!!

Happy 4th of July and Belated Canada Day everyone!!

This is a sketch I did for the holiday of my riding my pony, Rafferty and my friend from Canada riding her horse, Indy. I was hoping to have it all colored and finished up by then but I got too busy. I will still finishe it up and put it on here. =) Every day is a good day to celebrate America.

I hope you all enjoy the fireworks and celebration!
