Transparent snail for your blogs. Yes.

I was talking to Octokracken and we like coming up with different kinds of backgrounds characters for our comic Skargarden that we’re currently working on. So, snails would be a lot of fun, ‘cause we decided that they can make lube. Also they’re so squishy! And I can’t figure out a single way for them to wear anything that covers their downstairs, so I tried REALLY hard to be accurate when drawing hermaphrodite genitalia (it was so hard to find any references).

If I did it wrong and you know where I can find better references than what I tried to find, pleeeease let me know because I really don’t want to offend anyone! Thanks!

So I finally watched Madoka, and I thought about it for a while. I did these up a while back when I didn’t have my computer and the witches styles were completely out of my safety zone. It was good.

Here’s me, Octokracken, and Kittykisa all as Puella Magi Magical Girls with our witches in the background.

I was thinking of doing commissions for people like this too, if people show an interest~

Without further ado, the completed short.

Two boys cross their societal boundaries and fall in love. In time, they change each other, and eventually, their divided world.

Enjoy!

Reblogging on my art blog because it makes sense. This is the second film I worked on a few months ago.

Here ya’ go guys.  It still needs some work, but this is as finished as it’s gonna’ get for the time being.

A character-centric comedy about an unfortunately friendly demon and the apathetic highschooler he’s supposed to be haunting.

I think it’d also be good for my art blog to reblog this. It’s technically art that I worked on I suppose. So here’s one of two animated films I worked on a few months ago.

Alright. These pieces mean a bit more to me.

So these were my for my final project in my last painting class of college. We were allowed to do anything, as long as we did a write up for it. At the time, I was going through a big thing about trying to prove that cartoons are great pieces of art, and my initial idea was to redo scenes from cartoons and movies as final pieces… but there were obviously issues with that idea. So I took the idea, and refined it so I was making final pieces but also remaking famous fairy tales in my own way. Taking the six main Disney movies (in my opinion); Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. I did so much research on them, and found the most important scene from each of their original stories, and tried to show them how they might’ve been if they’d been closer to the books.

I don’t want to go too far into them, since I did these in 2011, but I just really wanted to share them. It was an ambitious project to do six paintings (and these were large too), where I painted the background on illustation board, then printed the digital characters on clear plastic, painted white behind them so they were opaque, then mounted the clear plastic onto the illustration board with black type to make them look widescreen. If that makes any sense… So it was a lot of work, and some I don’t care for… but I’m still in love with the Aladdin one for sure. It’s probably one of my most favourite pieces I’ve ever done.
