Lois Lane

Buddy at work asked me which version of Lois Lane is my favourite--I said the one in robot armour with the shoulder cannons

Cold and Glider



I love siblings. As a baby sister myself, I've got a soft spot for brothers. I've also got a soft spot for Captain Cold especially when it involves Golden Glider.

Totally fresh!

My biggest guilty pleasure. 1990s Superboy. I. fucking. love. him. I love Modern Superboy too but there is just something about the massive levels of lame that coat 90s Superboy that make me love every fiber of his rockin' leather jacket and thigh belt. The 90s comics would be awesome if they did make me giggle every two seconds. There was a 'Double Dragon' movie ad in one of the issues I bought at Heroes Con. I almost lost it.

SP: Pencil Test PrePro


Planning on a pencil test animation involving a girl getting ready for a night out. Going to use it for a nice piece of acting animation. This is going to be the background she'll be interacting with

A Break

A little bit of a break between Senior Project posts.

Being that I am a full grown adult that watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and have been obsessed with MLP since I was a child, I HAD to draw some of my toys in the Faust style. For any that actually watch the show, I have an original Generation 1, Year 2 Twilight Sparkle from 1983. Recently found out that her tail has fallen out while she has been up in the attic. Rather depressed by that...She wasn't in the greatest condition anyway \:

There is Lemon Drop (1982, was apart of a Show Stable set) and Moonstone (G1, Year 2 1983) at the top--my Lemon Drop toy is actually missing her tail and was always the guy when I played with her.. Moonstone on the other hand is my bathroom buddy and is probably the most well kept of my ponies. She's my absolute favourite.

Next too are Up, Up & Away (G1, Year 5 1986) and Cotton Candy (G1, Year 7 1988)


Two more MLP doodles. Sunspot (G1, Year 7 1988) and my infamous Bridal Beauty (G1 Year 10, 1991) Bridal Beauty was one of the first ponies I actually remember being bought--most of the ponies from the 80s were second hand from cousins or my brothers friends. I was very little when I received Bridal Beauty and called her 'Fridal Fruity' since I couldn't say her name. I immediantly lost the ring that came with her. Her bouquet and veil, however, are still with her :)


Drawn while watching 'Game of Thrones'



Was goobering around on a Cintiq and a friend requested a buff unicorn versus a dragon.

SP1: Dragon Run 2



As much as I'd love to do a full 30 sec animation with this guy..I don't think I have enough time so I'm just gunna perfect one of his runs.

SP 1: Beatnik animation test



The animation I'm working on for my Senior Project 1. Any feedback would be awesome!

SP1: Piece 3



Started some pre-production on my first lip sync I'll be doing for my senior project classes. I have a little audio of a man saying 'I don't get paid enough for this' so I wanted to do an animator trapped behind stacks of paper and working away.

Pretty happy with his design just need to decide if I like his head big or proportional.

SP1: Wizard clean-up

Cleaned up my Wizard and Witch in Flash

Pretty happy with how they look. Hopefully they move smoother than my dragon

For Granny

My Granny has been in the hospital lately with liver disease and I drew her up a little cartoon of little me and her with some of her cats. This is the sketch. I did a nice inked version but didn't get a chance to scan it. I was hoping to colour it but we were running late to go visit her as it was.

The last week has been really rough but we're feeling optimistic.



I was four off on the amount of cats but I just wanted to get in the ones that I remember the most (who are now passed) The two my Granny is petting are Missy and Puss Puss, the one rubbing against her leg is Purr Purr. The fat one I'm petting that is sitting up is Mikey Mikey Motercycie and the cat peeking out from behind the sofa is Booger. The rest are just generic because I couldn't remember anyone else.

Doodles: 4-15-2011

From doodles from today and earlier this week.


COME EMBOAR AND LET US BURN THIS WORLD!

Pokemon is far too much fun for how old I am but I do not care.


Supergirl and a Gentleman Raptor


I always forget how much I adore the Riddler until I see him in something and I get super excited. I even had a Riddler canes a child, how do I forget these things? And Two-Face is just there.



Barbara Gordon is the best Batgirl ever. It's a fact.


Eddie just doesn't appreciate my cunning intellect.
-Edit- Deez Nutz not Dez Nutz. Jeez. No wonder I couldn't solve it.

SP: Piece 2 Pre-Pro

Pre-Production designs for my Senior Project 1 class yet again but this time for my second piece.

This will be another cut-animation but this time about a little wizard who turns a frog into a cute witch.

SP1: Storyboards

Storyboards for the first piece I'm going to be doing for my Senior Project 1 class.

I'm aiming for a 30 second animation and so far I have 18 storyboards..I may edit the story to be a tad short but I will be doing this as a cut-out animation so it might not be as much work as it seems



1- Pan down showing the sky and a dragon flying by and stop at the little fat dragon sitting and watching.

2- Fat Dragon looks at his tiny wings with a sigh.



3- Fat Dragon Gets determined

4- And runs off camera

5- Dragon is running across a field as fast as he can

6- Dragon squats down and jumps up




7- Slow motion of the Dragon 'flying' and being very happy

8 - Pull back to reveal he isn't moving and is only barely above the ground.

9 - Dragon looks down, realizing he isn't flying before falling on his face

10 - Close up as the Dragon starts sniffling



11- Dragon starts to cry and as he is crying, little sparks of fire start to come from his snout.

12 - As the dragon is crying, he starts to breath a lot of fire that pushes him back up to his feet.

13- Dragon realizes

14 - Dragon plots



15 - Dragon takes a deep breath, building up a breath of fire

16 - Dragon breathes as much fire as he can

17 - The fire jets the dragon off the ground and out of the frame

18 - The dragon is seen 'flying' in the background with a huge plume of fire pushing him through the air

SP 1: Dragon Run

Take two at a Dragon run, this time it is more of a gallop than a prance.

SP 1: Dragon prance

Moving around my dragon puppet to see how clean of movement I can get out of him. May end up re-building him.

SP 1: Dragon inked

Inked up my dragon in a sitting and standing pose. He is broken up into pieces so I can puppet him. I'm gunna goober around with him and make sure he can move smoothly as a cut-out character.

Senior Project: Piece 1

For my senior projects 1 and 2 classes, I've got to make 9 animated pieces in total to put in my portfolio.

Some sketches for my first piece. The concept is a little fat dragon that really want to fly but can't. This is going to be done as a cut-out flash animation! I'm gunna try and get a puppet version of him made soon and post it here

Silk concepts

Playing around with a concept for an all-ages comic book about a little girl named Molly who saves a spider from being crushed. That spider turns out to be a sorcerer that is a apart of a rebellion against a black widow that has taken over all the upper families of Aracnid (all the big ol spiders) and is planning to destroy all of bug kind so only spiders reign supreme. The sorcerer spider, a writing spider called Writer, turns her spider-size to show the other insects of the rebellion that there are people in the world that don't want to see insects get hurt.

This is my sketch of Molly

Project 3: Sketches

Sketches for my third project in my Background design class. We had to design our own alien world in a group and than illustrate a climate from said world. Our world was one where life evolved from the ocean ecosystem that was left over on a dead planet. I chose to do a tropical climate based on a coral reef area.

Hoth Princess Leia

Doodled a Leia in her Hoth get-up. I love this outfit it on her, it's so adorable.

Flash wizard

Doodled a little wizard in Flash the other day in class.



Oddly enough, this is also how Discworld's Rincewind looks in my head. Just not as magically adept, obviously.

Dino doodles

A lame post but I was scribbling these in Flash the other day

Bkgd: Project 2 Sketches

Background Design and Layout project 2

Yet another project where we have to pick a book that hasn't been turned into movie and once again, I'm going with a Terry Pratchett book. Doing the 'Mort' book from the Discworld series but considering there is a 'Colour of Magic' and a 'Hogfather' movie, I'm going to avoid the obvious backgrounds like great A'Tuin and Ankh-Morpork.
