Happy Heart Holiday!

One of Danielle's favorite holidays is Valentine's Day, so she was the perfect choice for this year's Valentine drawing!

Personally, I like the sound of "Happy Heart Day," but saying "Happy Heart Holiday" gives me some alliteration points. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Pitch Posters

For the Advanced Illustration this semester, we had to pitch a story concept and create a poster to show along with our pitch presentation. If approved, I'd have the chance to lead a group into developing the story and creating a finished product.

Unfortunately, both story concepts that I pitched to the class didn't fly with the class.

Oh well, more creative control for me on these ideas!

Here's the two pitch posters created for the presentation!

The premise for Captain Neo is essentially an anti-superhero story. The protagonist dresses up as a cartoon superhero that fights evil aliens and defends Earth. Soon, a group of aliens "invade" Earth and capture "Captain Neo."

The concept for this one is about an over-the-top arrogant villain that isn't taken seriously by everyone. Soon, he becomes tasked by a powerful mafia boss to pull off the biggest, most expensive theft ever known: the theft of the priceless Blue Diamond.

New Video! "Life-Saving Facts!"

Hey everyone! I'm glad to finally announce that my most recent animated video "Life-Saving Facts" is now up and live online on my YouTube channel!
It's been forever since I've last uploaded a video and animated something! I hope my rustiness doesn't show through.

The video is based off of a comic strip I wrote (as usual), taking the concept of teachers always declaring that their focus of education will be useful one day another step forward to a life-or-death situation.

Be sure to check out the video!

Sneak Peak - "Life-Saving Facts"

Hey hey hey! I'm glad to announce that my latest animated video is finally completed! I started production on the video in early August 2017. I had to completely halt its production when I started my fall semester last year and started again in January 2018.

My upcoming animated video, named "Life-Saving Facts," will be released either this upcoming weekend or early next week!

On my social media pages, I'm posting a screenshot a day, but just for the blog, I'll post all five screenshots on here at the same time:

First image is from the credits; it seems like a weird level of conceitedness to put your own name in the credits. It's sort of like going "HEY I MAKE THIS! I CREATED THIS! ME!"

Second image is a pretty simple piece of background art; I'll be doing background art in Photoshop from now on! It's way easier that way!

Third image is another piece of background art that's my personal favorite from the video. This is a prime example as to why doing background art in Photoshop is a better method!

Fourth image is an image I'm sure I've posted already on the blog, but I wanted to bring it up again because I really like this piece since it's a huge improvement from the first version

And here's the fifth image! Who the hell is this guy?

That's all for now! Look forward to it!
