Bats Final

After many trials and tribulations and a printer that just would not cooperate (I totally blame Mercury being in retrograde), here is my second Illustration final!!! I finished the class picture assignment already, I just need to post the results. As I said before, the instructions were to make a pre-reader counting or letter book using some historical reference. I chose bats because they were my favorite thing ever as a child and Canterbury cathedral because... You know, I couldn't actually tell you how I came to that one--it just sort of happened. But I did watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame at least five times while working on this. I could probably recite the entire movie from memory at this point, I'm sure. Well, enough craziness from me, I'm off to finish my last two projects.

Enjoy!

Busy, busy, busy!

I decided to give myself a quick break from the panic and art of finals to bring you this: my kinetic type animation! Tada! Youtube chewed up the quality a bit but it's finished!

Enjoy!

Excuse Me, Barmaid!

Here's another delightful final project for this semester! Eventually it will be like a closed captioning text animation if that makes any sense. Right now, I'm just working on the fancy little things to stick in there before I sync the text. What is the audio, you ask? Why, it's from How To Train Your Dragon, of course!


Love that part, haha. And here are my images so far:
I'm sure you can guess where they go.

Enjoy!

Senshi Stock

Hark! I hast commeth across something of awesome! ...not sure why I felt the need to express that in pseudo-olde English but anyway--it is called Senshi Stock! This lovely lady and her friends take pictures of themselves in various poses for artists to use as reference photos. The extra awesome part? She has a whole gallery of Sailor Moon and other magical girl poses! I intend to use this resource a lot. As a matter of fact, I already have! Here's a sketch of one of the pictures that was inspired by Senshi Stock:

(ignore the silly outfit. It was late, I don't know what I was thinking)

Then this got me to thinking: what if I took one of these pictures every day and make my own piece from it? And a personal art challenge was born! I will not be starting this until after I am through with school though, of course. Anyway, hope this was helpful!

Love,
Megan

1,2,3,4--4 bats!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Here's the final project for my other illustration class. The assignment was to make two two-page spreads for a children's counting/letter book that had to have some sort of historical context. I chose to make a counting book with bats set in Canterbury Cathedral. Here are the sketches! Excitement abound!

Enjoy!
