Of Owls and Snow

It snowed today, and I was so happy. It's like winter was saying one last goodbye before spring arrives. I wish it would snow and rain all year. 

Application and Tegaki

In between working on my animation application, I worked on this challenge for number 2. I've done the first, but I need to fix my scanner so I can color it. It's a platypus!

Sorry for the lack of updates

My scanner is DOWN and therefore I cannot post any art that I have been furiously sketching up in an attempt to be accepted into the animation department. Hopefully that will be running again soon and I can start to get back on track for this blog. 

And Super Smash Bros. Brawl is far too fun for me to get any real work done. 

"Sketchy Magic" Concepts

Concepts for the children's book I'm writing. I don't really have a title for it yet, though I've stuck with "Sketchy Magic" for a lot of the works I've been doing. 

These are pages from Lorna's sketchbooks and her documentations of the world of Alraya. The bird is Faolan after he's transformed. Originally a headstrong elf, he had to transform temporarily to save both of their necks from a couple of baddies. 

The other sketchbook excerpt is Lorna's take on entering the elf city of Arendii. The creature there is a mixture between a stag, bighorn sheep, and a lion and they're the steeds for the elves living in and around the city and its neighboring forest. There's also an elf sentry on that page and Lorna in a dress that she wore throughout the city. 

Both were drawn with a pencil then water colored. More to come later.
