Burn it!

Kate Lloyd study.

I'm a huge fan of John Carpenter's The Thing. I have also become a huge fan of the 2011 prequel. I felt it was a great addition to the story/universe. Cool monsters, Norwegians, and end credits that just give me chills. What's not to love!

Watching it again today I just had to do a drawing of M.E. Winstead's character, Kate Lloyd. I just love her in practically anything.

Art'd Us : Week 4 and 5!

I've been a bit busy here, so here are the past two weeks combined.

The styles were Bill Watterson and Jamie Hewlett.

With Watterson's style we all took a more sentimental approach. Bringing in things that meant something to us as a child. As for Hewlett's ... well, we just wanted to look cool.

Art'ed Us : Week 3

Our artist of choice this week ... Glen Keane. What more can I say about Glen, he's been one of the biggest artistic inspirations to a whole generation. Especially for an animator, I can watch his pencil test over and over and still learn and find something new everytime.

Art'ed Us : Week 2

This week we pay tribute to Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's art style. I've always been a huge fan, so it made this week a lot of fun.

Art'ed Us : Week 1

Hey all, so a couple of my friends and I have started an art exercise where we all draw ourselves in other artist's styles. This week we picked Herge. Thanks Bridget, Julia, and Iggy for the awesome entries!

Happy Horror Chrismas!

Season's greetings everyone! I hope everyone's having a fantastic, fun filled, coal-free time this holiday.

Here's my homage towards 60's style/Hammer Horror-esque movie posters of the past. What better way to celebrate the holidays than with some horror right? Besides, I'll jump at any chance to draw pretty girls and monsters.

This piece was pretty fun to do. Since I'm currently on holiday, this was done all on my trusty iPad. Gotta love technology!

It's a success!

Well, my first movie with an animation credit is so far a success! The main stream seems to be loving Rise of the Planet of the Apes. To further prove it, it's been staying consistently above 80% on rottentomatoes. I can not even express how happy I am that my first movie credit is for such a successful and entertaining movie.

It was a real honor to work on the film along side some of the best talent in the industry. Even though I only had a couple shots, I felt that I learned so much. It was a huge step into a world that I've always wanted to be a part of. A life dream.

So be sure to check out the film when you get a chance. I personally had a great time watching it. It was just simply a lot of fun.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved!

Hey! That's me!

I've had to put a hold on my two personal projects right now. I'm currently super busy on another film that will be soon released, The Adventures of Tintin. In the mean time, here's some art I've done for one of my projects.
