Mushy gushy update

Hey guys! Life is kinda crazy right now, but of course you gotta make time and do something for yourself.

I'm not making romantic illustrations for fantasy novels ...yet (I SO wouldn't mind though XD). It was my piece for the Sketchtheatre contest. The February theme was 'Tamed Beast'.

I always want the ugly (and sometimes misunderstood) guy to get the pretty girl. WOOT.

hitRECord stuff

Contributed stuff to hitRECord for their animated music video "They Can't Turn The Lights Off Now". It's about knowing your rights as a photographer.











Check it out right nyaowww and maybe, just maybe, you can learn a thing or two!



BAH. It's ElaineJOY not ElaineJOE. hahah oh well.

Happy 2012!

Happy Happy New Year!

It is now the year of the dragon! My turn bitches!

My resolution is to get a steady job in the animation industry.

But right now .... I'm gonna go sleep.

Last CGMA assignments and X-MAS

Time flies by so quickly!

Here are the last two assignments of CGMA.

I really liked this class and I'm a bit sad that it's over.

Looking at the BG concepts... my final has a more happier mood than the preliminaries. I really wanted to tackle a darker mood but WHATEVS. I've barely painted a bg before and now I feel like I can tackle the world! Muahahaha!

Oh yes.. and Merry X-mas! Or Happy Holidays :)

Urgghgh it's cupcake time!

So week 5's assignment for CGMA's Digital Painting class is to paint a robot.

aljfafjgkhkalaahhhgghh Robots are so damn hard to conceptualize.

I thought "Oooh a robot that bakes cupcakes would be an awesome idea"

I wanted to saw my hands off.

- but it was an interesting challenge for sure. Makes me wanna draw another robot... but later on when I recover. hahaha

And.....It's the holiday season you guys! I'm excited to be listening to Xmas carols and drinking lots of peppermint mocha. YAY!

Why so serious busy?

Hiya folks!

Other than freelancing, I've been taking Erik D. Martin's Digital Painting classes over at CGMA.
I totally recommend taking this class if you want to improve on your digital painting skills.

Pen Tool assignment

Film studies

Prop Design

Also... I'll be attending CTN this weekend! I'm super excited and I wanna show my work to some artists and industry people (but my stomach is doing somersaults as well just thinking about it).

It may be fall....

.....but it will always be summer in my mind.

Old artwork, but stuff is gonna come soon my friends! :)
