Smashing Deina and coloured Cady


I really like how this one turned out...thank goodness for life drawing! :D

This is a coloured version of the 'graphic Cady' I did in an earlier post.

Also, I'm going to plug it just in case I didn't (I've got the memory of an old lady), my new Deviant Art site. Having waaaayyy too much fun with it.

Hey all,

Just wanted to plug www.VerveEarth.com because it seemed like an interesting way to surf the web internationally. Very cool stuff; I recommend you should head out and join. :3

Pucca animation test

Rayne in '6Teen'


This was for an illustrator position for Blind Ferret Studios. I was supposed to design the main character, Rayne (the star of their comic Least I Could Do), in the graphic style of 6Teen.
Done in Adobe Flash 8.

_____________________________________________________________________
After working a few years in retail, I decided to chase my dream and learn animation. I love to draw, and I love seeing my drawings come to life. Animation is what I wish to pursue and what I wish to develop my career in. I understand that the industry demands tight schedules and prompt work, and I am up to the challenge. In my free time, I love nothing more than drawing or a good video game to keep me refreshed and creative.
