Jean Draws: March 2012

SKOTD I'm a little teapot

...short and stout!

Zoo trip Tigers and tiger poses

Last weekend was our zoo trip! I brought some watercolour with me and played around a bit! Brian has the rest but here are some tigers from the zoo!

Usually I find them so hard to draw, but I already animated a muzzle lip sync assignment with a tiger, so it was much easier to draw this time! Below are my keys poses for the animation (I really need to work on keeping things on model lol!)

The tiger in my animation is talking to a tucan bird, after I animate the bird, I'll post up the entire animation

When In Rome part 2

These were really fun! I clearly demonstrated that I liked to paint more than sketching though

Death's Door, feat. Evan Hill

Hey! so last summer while I was in L.A. at Anime Expo, I met Evan Hill, who took an interest in this print I was selling.

I gave him permission to use the design for a 3D model project he was thinking of and was recently pleasantly surprised to see it finished! He did a very good job at keeping the feelings of my original illustration. Please take a look at his website for other cool stuff!

(there's a really cool animation and rigging details on this page of his site as well)

This year I will again be selling more prints at Anime Expo in Los Angeles! If you're from the area come check it ouuut!

JUST DO IT

There are times when my sister and I both feel like "there's no point in living" once a huge project is finished lol. And right now even though I'm literally drowning in the amount of projects I keep picking up, I know that once I've finished everything and have a break I'll be asking myself that again. haha!

WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING? Without goals and accomplishments?

If you have the means to do great things, then just do it!

-hahahahah, I'm a little passionate about this stuff, hehehe please excuse my yelling!

Fabric print designs, hubbabubba!

Made some weird little critters, and decided to repeat them like fabric print. Feel free to use! C: available in 4 different colours and are 'tile-able'!

black & white

minty seafoam

creme

rosey pink

Here are more daily doodles, from this week! The first one was if Hubba-Bubba bubblegum tape was a super heroine! (She can extend her fingers and legs into long pink delicious strips of bubblegum). The second is the newly introduced Fire Princess from Adventure Time! She's really scary.

her original name was "watermelondrea"

Jungle Fever -pan background

Full view for the details! (like grass blades/texture etc)

now I just need to animate something in this!

Hot Pans, get ur hot pans!

I finally finished the first painting assignment and the layout pan (or a portion of it)!!! Here are some shot tests/colour keys? for a sequence I'm working on! (click to zoom in!)

I'm just going to be animating the green spirit girl swimming in and out of the water and behind some rocks for my pan assignment (hopefully I'll have time to colour it too!)

This is a shot test of the little Roman boy at night in the enchanted umm pond/lake in a different lighting

It's was at this stage (above) when I became heartless about the composition and decided to just scrap almost everything lol. Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to destroy something you rendered for a couple hours! (and usually that destruction leads to some interesting compositions in like 5 minutes!)
