I've decided to take down a bunch of the art I did for the 30 day drawing challenge. I'd like to keep my blog as more of a portfolio almost only showing my better work and those were mostly rushed! I'll eventually update my website and have them hosted on there if anyone cares to see them again.

For now, have a zombie chick! or more accurately undead rogue, Rezori, from the Darkspear realm, lawl. :B

day 18 | just a doodle

day 12 | most recent accomplishment

Winning the 2009 ELAN award for Best Character Animation for my supervising work on Toot & Puddle (I know, not my most recent but I can't think of anything else - this one was pretty wicked!).

day 11 | turning point in my life

Choosing Animation over a Bachelor in Fine Art after high school.

This really got me thinking that, well, I've never really had any big defining moments in my life. This is just a career related thing and I can switch jobs if I want, nothing very special or momentous.

But this decision was SO much more than that - I realized that I never would have re-met my husband Geoff if I'd gone for fine arts. The only reason we met each other after being in high school together was because of a mutual friend (thanks again Chris!) who was in my animation class. I wouldn't be in this awesome home that we bought together, never have gotten our hilarious and sweet dog Tonks. I never would have joined such an amazing family that I feel are blood and kin to me, that I feel like I've been a part of my whole life when I've only known them for 6 years.

Not to mention all the lifetime friends I made along the way that make my career SO fun. Even when things get rough (hey making cartoons is surprisingly stressful!) I know that I am surrounded by great and talented people that can make me laugh when I need it most.

So, after thinking about it I am VERY grateful that I chose Animation as a career. So lucky for everyone and everything that it has brought into and enriched my life with. So thanks, Me, for choosing right! ♥

I DREW SOME STUFF

why hello thar

ok so here's a bunch of randoms, some old some new. most of the art i do is commissioned work unfortunately. i've quit those for a bit so i hope to work on my own junk and get something worthwhile done and try to learn new things about lighting and shading and stuff. heeere you go.

LOOK OUT.

kids + bird

Commission for a portrait of someone's kidlets! And, here's a bird for someone else -

the cowboy and the miraculously tiny girl

life drawings from september/october

Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?

Saul Williams Portrait

Drew the line over the photo, and coloured this with the photo beside the drawing. Working on faces and lighting at the same time. No talent with this one - but productive at least! I have some more life drawing to share, maybe I'll get around to scanning it tomorrow... Or the day after.

Oh, and I did this too, self portrait-ish. Some sort of super-hero me I guess?

life drawing

HOKAY! So here I am, a damn long time after posting about 'resurrecting' my blog, posting my first post since. Awesome!

Though I am going to start being more pro-active in posting here, for on Wed nights I am taking the $4 life drawing sessions at Sandy Hill. Finally! I've been wanting to get back into doing life drawing again for a while, and now thanks to my lovely friends I am actually doing it. And posting it here.
