Finally she's done!

This took me a much longer time to finalize than Albert did but it was worth it. Here is the final version of his little daughter. She's so cute! I'm really in love with how she turned out. I'll be doing a turnaround next.

She doesn't have a name in the story because she isn't mentioned except for in one small part, but I think I want to give her a name. I love her so much I'm sorta entertaining the idea of incorporating her into something else unrelated to the app, like stationery or something. We'll see. I have a lot on my plate right now.


Oh and alsooo,

I GOT A JOB OFFER. I'M MOVING OUT MID/LATE AUGUST. SEE YA, MIAMI!

Sketchies

Just a few sketches I made of Albert Plimpton's daughter. I imagined him with a little daughter who's maybe around 5 or 6 years old, and an older (maybe teenage) son. I took this picture with my phone because I was too lazy to go scan it, so... it's not such great quality. Whatever. I'm partial to the one on the top left, but I gotta get rid of her little neck. A turnaround will be coming soon :)

I'M SO EXCITED

okay okay so I know I have like three projects that I'm working on all at the same time. That's just how I do things. But this one is definitely the BIGGEST and most ambitious, and I'm really excited to be working on it! It's only in the very beginning sort of conceptual stages and I'm probably going to need more people to help me on it. But here it is.

I'm going to be making a children's book iPad app! It's based on a short story I wrote called "The Star Man." It's about a man named Albert Plimpton, whose job is to light the stars in the night sky in his big hot air balloon. Here's an excerpt from the story:

Albert floated across the sky to light the constellations: Aquarius, Taurus, Ursa Major, Orion, Andromeda. Betelgeuse’s bulb was flickering dimly. He unscrewed it with his sparkly stick and threw it away. A couple sitting on a park bench saw a shooting star. He replaced the bulb and Betelgeuse’s warm light shined brightly in the sky.

I've done some turnarounds for Albert's design here (ew PLEASE click on the thumbnail for a higher-res version, this thumbnail looks like crap):


He's an adventurer! I still have a lot to do but I'm loving it so far.

I also made this (again, click it to see a higher-res version):

It's a pinup illustration. I just did it for fun but I'd like to expand it into a series since a couple of my girl friends wanted me to do portraits of them. I thought it'd be a good idea to make them in the same style so I could add them on to the series. This originally started off as a sort of fantasy self-portrait, inspired by Shane Glines and Bill Presing with a more contemporary feel. Mind you, I don't really look anything like this haha.

IMA BE UPDATING SO MUCH omg thuuper exthited!
