Jem and the Holograms: Aja

2011-08-09T12:54:00.000-07:00

This is a rough take on Aja based on some pitch designs I did for a Jem remake. Aja was my favourite growing up. She always felt a bit androgynous to me. I was convinced she was a lesbian, but maybe that's just because I have such a girl crush on her.

I'll have more of my Jem redesigns posted soon!

TCRG Roller Derby Poster

2011-06-12T00:27:00.000-07:00

I should've posted this forever ago. I had the privilege to work with the TCRG's Cinder Hella and make promotional posters for my local derby team. Apparently this one was very well liked and I'm going to be making another one in the near future! Go roller girls!!

2011-03-07T22:35:00.000-08:00

These are some Barbie designs I did for Atomic Cartoons in December. I had a lot of fun with these. The second to the left and far right are my favourites.

Who's The Bad Guy?

2011-01-26T21:48:00.000-08:00

These are some cinematic boards I made for my storyboarding final last year. I've been hesitating to put these up for awhile. The story is based on a comic my sister and I have been developing for a long time and I'd never really shared a lot of the work I've been doing. I had all the dialogue memorized at the time so I've added basic captions to help it make more sense. I also spruced it up a little, but I realize some of the shots are a bit sloppy in several ways. It was a good learning experience at least.

Sparkles

2011-01-20T02:57:00.000-08:00

An overdue commission for Sepia.

Mooning on New Years

2011-01-03T00:08:00.000-08:00

Ahaha, my titles are so clever.
I drew this last night in my new moleskin diary. Reetta was kind enough to purchase this for me for housesitting her kitty and I intend to draw one picture in it every day of the year! I started the first day off with a bang. Usagi for New Years!
Hope you all had some good clean fun!

Pinups Everywhere

2010-12-02T00:32:00.000-08:00

Two designs I did for the Harvey James cat-girl contest thing--found here

A half-assed Day of the Dead pinup--color vomit :D

A tangroth gijinka pokemon--It's so fun to redesign pokemon into humans!

I've been busier at work, but still have made time for lots of sketching and pinup girls--probably more than I ever expected. It's strange when drawing all day every day for a living actually inspires me to draw more than ever. Not that I'm complaining! :)

2010-08-29T01:11:00.000-07:00

I'm so lazy about posting things. Here's my take on sailor moon, though in hindsight some of my original sketches were better.

These are also the more finished/polished versions I did; I spruced them up a little because the initial shading was rushed and my original idea was lost a bit. Also I am working at bardel as a storyboard revisionist and having loads of fun. Hopefully I'll post some sketches in the future!

Portfolio Pages

2010-05-09T00:20:00.001-07:00

I had a lot of fun at gradshow! Got to meet a lot of awesome talented people and reconnect with some of the ones I know. Here's my portfolio pages. I'm really looking forward to this summer!

Ugly Princess Rough Storyboards

2010-05-07T13:13:00.001-07:00

A preview of a storyboard in process for Ugly Princess. I had this idea in my head for a long time, but I'm not sure what she's running from yet or what she sees behind her. Any suggestions? :)

Portfolio and Website Up

2010-04-20T22:06:00.000-07:00

My portfolio and website are up: http://peachography.com
portfolio: http://peachmork.daportfolio.com
I also uploaded a demo reel to youtube but I'd like to polish my work a bit more for gradshow. I forgot my cell phone when I went to school today so I sketched on the bus instead. So here's a new weekly sketch of Morrigan. There's a number of anatomical issues and morrigan's right arm looks broken but I like the pens I used. Pink and teal, go figure. This sketch is in celebration of the new Marvel vs Capcom 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n44ZzayoBAM&feature=player_embedded

Revamped Lilo Animation

2010-04-13T19:36:00.000-07:00

So I realized I never posted this, but now that I'm fixing it up, I might as well post it here. It still needs a few tweaks I think, but it's more or less done.

Ugly Princess Characters

2010-03-22T22:47:00.001-07:00

More designs for my Ugly Princess Model Package. I'm thinking of a storyboard as well. (:

Ugly Princess Revisited

2010-03-18T07:30:00.000-07:00

I just decided last weekend to freshly update my Ugly Princess idea and added a new character. The girl on the left is the fat princess; she's kind of like Miss Piggy meets Charlotte from PATF, with a bit of ponyo inspiration for design. She knows kung fu and will kick your ass anyday, anytime.

The spooky faces in the bg are all the princesses they have yet to rescue. I've been having a lot of fun with this idea and hope that one day it'll be made into a show or at least a comic. Anyway, back to the grindstone!

Sailor Mars

2010-02-21T10:13:00.000-08:00

I told you there were better posts to come. Sailor Mars is one of the best soldiers ever. All firey and red and IN YOUR FACE. Yeah. I'm glad I found time for this! I also made a tutorial about how I do linework. Be sure to check it out.

Been A Busy Bee

2010-02-12T16:19:00.001-08:00

Some painterly-like thing from class. I gotta keep practicing but I like the idea of it. Less boring posts shall be made in the future.

Bumper and Layouts

2009-12-19T19:41:00.000-08:00

So since lots of people were wondering what my bumper would look like with sound, here it is. It is still in the rough stages(since 90% of it was done in the last two days haha), but I'd love to keep playing with it to see how it goes. And that crackling sound is supposed to be crickets!

Here's some backgrounds from the bumper that were made at the last minute.

The original idea I had for the bumper was scrapped, but I still have some of the finished/rough layouts.

Here's some of the layouts I did for Moh's class.

Weekly Sketch

2009-12-19T19:24:00.000-08:00

Since the finals were eating up all my time, this is more like a monthly sketch dump. I've been making a conscious effort to sketch more and try out different styles. None of these are really from anything in particular (except for my characters at the top left). I have a storyboard to share too.

Sketch Dump

2009-11-21T16:26:00.000-08:00

So I got a pack of two small moleskin sketchbooks. They were pricey, but so far I've found them to be just the right size for me. They're only 3.5" by 5.5" but I find it's easier to work in for several reasons: a, I don't feel obligated to make big art to fill the page and b, working at small, thumbnail-size proportions helps me keep my ideas intact. I sketched these at a coffee shop yesterday. I definitely intend to make this a weekly habit.

Sailor MMM Yeah

2009-11-19T16:52:00.000-08:00

These two as well as my venus sketch and mercury sketch were featured on Sailor MMM, which is an awesome collective blog that showcases fanart of Sailor Moon by some very talented artists. Go check it out!

I know I said I'd post every week, but the workload's been getting more and more demanding. I might just have to hold off on Mars until December. These'll just have to tide you over until then. Also expect issue number one of Lapis by next Year!!

Love and Beauty Shock

2009-10-25T15:09:00.000-07:00

I've totally been procrastinating by sketching sailor soldiers, I'm not gonna lie. I've been wanting to draw something like this for awhile, so I'm glad to get it out of my system. A few more will be posted soon. I think I'm going to do a Jem series too. I wish there was a more modern show of it today. Christy Marx, if you ever want to make a new Jem show, I would totally love to redesign them.

Anyway, back to the grindstone!

Quick Sketch/Life Drawing Dump

2009-10-24T18:29:00.000-07:00

Some sketches I did at a coffee shop.

Some figure drawing of Bonny last week. We were supposed to egaggerate. I like drawing hair on all my girls. It's one of my favourite things.

Kitsune Storyboard

2009-10-19T20:58:00.000-07:00

I got a surprisingly good grade on this storyboard. I was worried that because of the tones in this one, I was going to be recieving a bad grade, but I got a 19/20 and a blue star! Pretty sweet!

Here's the FX stuff I did in TVPaint, or at least one of them. Britt might like this. Mermaid.

Weekly Sketches/Life Drawing Dump

2009-10-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

So the model this week was terrible. So terrible in fact that I ended up doodling the whole time. I think it's apparent that I'm getting better at the mens.

These are some sketches related to my comic, Lapis. I've been changing/adding characters. That guy on the right has hair, not a hood. Anansi's butt isn't that creepy in reality.

25 Essential Expressions

2009-10-12T21:16:00.000-07:00

I did mine of my character, Anansi, who was totally fun to draw for this. I hope to have time to do more in the future.

Animations

2009-10-08T17:06:00.000-07:00

We had to re-envision a small scene from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. There's a few errors but I'd love to fix it up and possibly put it in my demo reel.

A little old lady we had to rough out who slips and falls on a banana peel. We had to show contrast in our keys to help create more interesting animation. The siren was an added bonus.

Another re-envision excercise we did in class. I really wanted to display his emotions here.

Figure Drawing

2009-10-06T18:02:00.000-07:00

The latest batch. The last one's of Reetta. I loved her bedhead.

The Procrastination Stops Here

2009-10-01T20:03:00.000-07:00

Or at least I'm trying to curb it a little bit. When I told a classmate the other day that I rarely sketched or doodled without being asked to, she was really shocked to hear me say that, which made me feel kind of ashamed. No one can get better without some discipline, so I'm going to try to post at least once a week with some sketches, animations, and maybe a character design or two once the design club gets off the ground.

The girl at the bottom was actually a character I was planning to use in my demo reel. It may or may not happen; it depends if my bumper is demo-reel worthy. We shall see.

More Final Work

2009-05-16T14:47:00.000-07:00

My final animation.

My film for Davore. A pgsm spoof. This was so much fun, omg.

I realize I should really update this thing more. I will try to do this more in the future.

Babies Etc

2009-04-18T00:05:00.000-07:00

Well, as promised, I'm going to update this blog like crazy now. With stuff.

One of my layouts I'm pretty pleased with.

A rough exterior layout I'd like to finish.

My final designs for my package that were supposed to match my first layout.

More to come.

Don In A Disney Film

2009-03-07T20:46:00.000-08:00

It was the weekly illustration to take the piss out of Don. I fear my grades will mysteriously plummet in the coming weeks. Have pity, Don. The class made me do it!

General Wut

2008-12-20T21:32:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas, you fancy-pants ninnies.

I promise to post more in the future. And next time it'll have more substance, I swear.

MAJOR UPDATE WOAH

2008-12-16T00:05:00.000-08:00

I've been busy with everything under the sun lately, but now that I'm relaxing for my Christmas break, I have some time to update.
Animation Final:

I'm pretty pleased with this. I'd love to continue cleaning it up and add some sound effects and whatnot to maybe add in my reel for this summer's internship at Studio B (or was it Bardel?). The character was Chel. I like that she's pretty much on model and I captured her face better than expected. It was a fun challenge.

These are my designs for the Ugly Princess story I came up with for my final script for communications class. I'm really liking how it's evolving. Maybe I'll use the idea for the pitch contest this summer. I really like her design.
This is a perspective excercise. Nothing to brag about here really. This is my biggest challenge but I look forward to improving.

Some figure drawing I put in my final ten. I definitely have room for improvement. I'd love to try some of that cross-shading I've seen in other people's figure drawings.
It was a great first semester. I learned so much and I've made so many good friends and connections! One of my resolutions for the new year is to be better organized and try not to procrastinate so much. Let's hope I follow through. I hear this semester is intense.

Old Flash Walks

2008-11-16T22:50:00.000-08:00

This is the last time I use blogger to upload videos. :x

Capcom Stickers

2008-11-09T23:04:00.000-08:00

I did these in just a few days. At first, I was unsure if I could make good super-deformed characters of the capcom girls, but one sleep deprived night I drew Morrigan and then the rest followed after within the next day. I'm happy with the consistency of style and the clean sketchwork. I notice Felicia's the favourite in this group but my favourite is definitely Morrigan. She's always been my favourite in the games too. She's a tough broad who gets what she wants no matter what. I like that. Her hair's awesome too.
I'm selling these right now for a limited time in sticker form, so if you are interested in any, just bug me and I'll probably have some on my person this week. The change goes to a good cause: to help me attend my dad's funeral on Friday.

I have some more animations I'll be uploading in the future. I'm just pleased with how these turned out.

Figure Drawing & Drama

2008-10-20T21:34:00.000-07:00

Figure drawings! These are old. I've been improving much more, I think.

And drama: I am sadly sculpey and wire-less for my maquette project. I had been told earlier the stuff was all on my desk, but when I'd gotten to school on Sunday, nothing was there at all. Only the base. This means I'll probably have to finish mine in one week. Thank God I settled on a simple design!

I'll post some more stuff soon. I'd like to keep this thing updated. My character walks will be up next!

Blegh--and Updates!

2008-10-17T14:19:00.001-07:00

I really need to update more.

I got sick yesterday. Well, it was actually food poisoning, but I had a cold on top of it. I left school on Wednesday knowing something was horribly wrong with me. Then I realized what the cause was but I'm not going to divulge here. I'll just call the health inspectors about it and see what they can do. Gotta find their number.

I'm sad that I missed school, but I was so ill it had to be done. I hope I can catch up this weekend, though I am busy ALL DAY Saturday. I hope Delaney postponed building our characters, otherwise I might cry.

I've uploaded some Capcom fanart to my deviantart, as well as this character sheet for my protagonist for my comic Lapis:

Ain't she cute? Just like a little female Napolean! She's only like 5 heads tall (like tinkerbell)! Short blondes are fun to draw, especially when they're angry and tuff. Rrr.

P.S. The hood she's wearing has built-in sand goggles to brave the TOUGHEST of sandstorms. Some days it pays to look creepy.

Stitch Assignment

2008-10-10T20:18:00.000-07:00

We were supposed to do keys of stitch jumping several times before falling and rolling. I did pretty well on this but there's still room for improvement.

Ball With Legs and Tail

2008-09-27T18:49:00.000-07:00

Ball with legs and tail excercise. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I'm hoping to get some advice from Don in the future about what went wrong and how I can improve.
I'll post some figure drawings up soon. I had a lot of fun with negative space.

Animation: Flour Sack Excercise

2008-09-10T20:56:00.001-07:00

Animation: Bouncing Ball

2008-09-10T20:54:00.000-07:00

Animation: Box Magic

2008-09-10T20:18:00.000-07:00

First Day!

2008-09-02T19:22:00.000-07:00

I haven't been into a classroom with such a good atmosphere in a long time. It was nice. I am pleased to have met some of my classmates. I still haven't met a great deal of them but we'll have all year to be better aquainted with each other. I know a good amount missed the introduction at noon. I'm glad I got a seat next to Reetta, though I'll probably feel inferior at times since I love her stuff. I know I also met and spoke with lots of artists, but unfortunately I have a hard time remembering some of them since I'm bad with names. Don't be upset if I forget your name, just remind me and I'll get it.

The figure drawing class was awesome, but kind of intimidating. I've always kind of lacked when it came to figure drawing. I understand the proportions well enough but I have to relearn everything since I developed my own weird way of drawing (or not drawing) structure. I have to work on that more than anything, and get a more confident line in my sketchwork. Those are my big things to work on for now.

Just a simple sketch I did in my new sketchbook-I'd scan some figure drawing stuff but it's so big and hard to scan. This'll have to do. Also some new stuff in my devart as well. Been working on doing more digital painting/work on my tablet and trying to keep the transition from paper to tablet less awkward (because I've totally been neglecting paper lately). God am I excited about those Cintiqs in class. If there's one thing to turn an artist on, it's a Cintiq for sure.

Expect to see more sketches soon.

And So It Begins ...

2008-07-14T14:25:00.000-07:00

Like the layout? I think it looks sort of funky but it's nice and clean and I like that. Had to put a little sketchy sketch to the side so you know what to expect here. Speaking of sketches, I had to contribute a little something for my first post.

Padonna, a character from my up and coming webcomic drawn at various angles. Surprisingly, her character design has been the most trying so far. I've been working on making her less boring. I'm pleased with her Greek hairstyle but I think there's still room for improvement with her outfit. Normally, I'd hide all my art until I've finished the whole story and refrain from embarassing myself but I'm going to try to be more open about my art. I am going to art college this Fall, after all. I need to be open to criticism.

I should stop now though because I have carpal tunnel in my left hand. Blegh. It's hard to function without being able to do anything. :(
