FINAL Final Thesis Pieces... ALL of them this time!

So yay, I'm done! Mostly. I have to fix a couple little things and send them back to the director in three weeks, but for the most part, the review went a lot better than I thought. They said my stuff is "almost there," which was encouraging to hear. I will probably tighten up a few more things on these over the coming weeks for my portfolio, but for all intents and purposes, they're done. However, I'm always open to more critique, so if you have any suggestions, throw em' at me! I also went to the "I See What You Say" Exhibit opening at the Cartoon Art Museum in SF today, and met Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen! Hopefully I'll have some pictures from that event up soon.

Into the Fire Swamp

Wasn't intending to be 100% done with this, but accidentally merged the layers and then saved, so now it has to be done :/. Oh well, I guess it saves me from the inevitable endless fiddling over it. I'm heartbroken over my lost layers nonetheless, and praying my teacher doesnt ask for many changes. Ugh *facepalm* This will teach me to always save two separate files. The weird thing is I had a very prophetic dream last night about losing this project (and my laptop with it) and woke up in a panic....  I should have known to be careful with it! Is it a full moon or something?

Character Expressions

A few of Princess Buttercup's expressions for my thesis. Anyone know if there's a job catered specifically to character expressions? Cuz if there is, I want it. Love doin' this stuff.

Slowly but surely...

Attempting to get my black and white dummy book for my final project finalized before I send it off to get printed.... Also, wishing I had done my sketches digitally... the graphite is so smudgy and just doesn't scan in well :/ Here is about the first half. The adorable story was written by my uncle Kevin Blum for my little cousin Marley.
