Rebuilding

Just a quick painting inspired by some awesome photos in my reference folder. :) Not a speed paint by any means, haha.

Portfolio time! Will probably update this once my zombie model is done and my website is working. Currently the lenasteapot.appspot link is blank, sorry!

Midsummer Paths

In 113B we make two painting based off of A Midsummer Nights' Dream. The first takes place during the day...

...and the second takes place at night. The second one must also incorporate a magical element, whether literally or in spirit. Mine is pretty literal.

114 Sack Pantomime

In 114 we do a pantomime animation using a flour sack as the main character. The goal is to have the flour sack character interact with an object and show a change of emotion. No real restriction other than that...

Day Time

Pencil rendering for the daytime scene of my forest. Working on color comps now - can't wait to get paining!

Midterm Reel, whynot?

So far in 114....
Put the sack drop in twice cuz I'm pretty happy with it.

Sketch dump from Summer Sketchbook

Some buildings from my summer sketchbook.

What's this?

What? I never uploaded the Questing Beast?
This was my final project for my Myth in Literature class. The Questing Beast is from Arthurian legend. Most of the illustrations I saw were pretty similar, so I tries to give it a different look. My planning (below) shows the different animals that it's said to be made of.

Oh, yeah, I do that too.

What are these moving images?! My work from 51, the intro class to 3D animation. It was fun, especially at the end, but I think I'm an illustrator, not an animator.

Quiet Scene

Metropolis Project for 113a. Also re-vamped the blog.
Looking forward to summer! Gotta fill my BFA sketchbook.

StrangeCrow

A design for the Steampunk outfits Heather and I are making; it's supposed to be like a clan insignia. We're doing an Irish/Scottish theme that I like to call "Steam Tinker". :)

Baby Doll

My dog, Baby Doll.

(I didn't name her.)

Winter's Progress

Just some painting practice I did over winter. Acrylic on Watercolor paper. We're working in gouache in class right now, so maybe I'll upload some of that in a week or two.

By The Sea

My final project for a class last semester. It was inspired by Max Klinger's "The Glove" series, but generally became a Iphegenia-figure.

Homework?

I snuck into the Digital Arts class at my old high school, and liked the homework assignment so much I decided to go ahead and do it. Basically we just had to do something with an eye. :)

Reverse

My midterm project for a class last semester. Above is the photograph (by Lewis Hine) I was working from. My work, below, was done in charcoal.

Llama

Or something like one. I have no idea why this is looks like a link, but my hand hurts too much to fix it.

Hide, Gypsies!

Still working on that longer project. Almost done.

Here is a sketch from a longer painting I want to do, but its not the one I'm working on. :D

Heather

See, I can draw people realistically. Sort of.

Dress Up

I was just fussing around with Silva's clothes. I promise to actually do something with her one day. I've been thinking of doing a short short story (drawn, of course, not written).
