An #OCLookBack ! Looked back into my books yesterday and saw a few of the original sketches of one of the main characters of the Weirdling Series. Riley! Vs the most recent public image of her from this year.
-
In my defense of 2019, I didn’t have a stylus when that version was made.
-
The song is just one I think she’d listen to so it tis there. 🎵

Graduation Spacer!

🐝🎉👩🏽‍🎓

I’m Freeee! 🐝 👩🏽‍🎓

I recently graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from SCAD where I earned my major in Animation and minors in Sequential Art and Drawing. It’s been crazy long and painful, but I’ve learned so much in the last few years and met so many cool people. While SCAD really took big bites of my mental health (and defintiely the physical health of my wrists lol) but I’m amazed by the differences in the artwork I’ve created through the years.

Thank you to friends that inspired me and helped me get through, professors that challenged me and helped me improve, to my parents, Weirdling Sister and boyfriend who supported me through all the crazy hard times. While self doubt is hard to jump over, a lot of amazing people have helped me make it to the end.

☀️ Onto a new dream! ☀️

I’ll probably remake it one day soon with actual animation but it’s just funny to me.

ANIM 272. I 💚 this class!! The first slide is the new version and the second slide is the first version. I'm actually a little proud seeing how far Riley has come since around 2015. SHE'S GROWNNNNN 😭😭😭😭

Tried the trend, media is hard but I got distracted from what I was actually doing so we’ll see how this goes but I left it in doodle form.

If you ever wondered how Riley is as an agent after training and getting comfortable of course, though I don’t think “totally boss” is in her vocabulary but besides that 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ooooh Magic Audio, please work lol. I don’t know how to ‘social media’, but I assume that’s cause I don’t know how to social or media separately either.

Still thinking of Alexander Rybak’s voice when I think of this character sooo 😁💚🥰😍. They’ve developed a lot since 2017. (Er, his first design was actually 2018-2019 ish, but I haven’t looked in that sketchbook that has it for a while.) So I just used one of the first digital versions of him for the video.

Just a bunch of doodles. In my head I always hear Alexander Rybak’s voice 💚💚💚 when I think of Arthur so I kinda created the last picture for this song and put it together with a bunch of the ones I have. Really wanna do a whole thing for a song soon.
-
I have hashtags cause I need views and follow stuff. 🥲

Saw the audio and just got random images of Riley cause why not. Clearly I don’t really know reels.

One of the assignments from SEQA 224, one class away from my first minor now. Got a lot of stuff but I'll probably post it later this week. This one was coming up with new characters with a storyline to do concept work for and this was mine, it doesn't have the usual detail I put into because of how fast the classes are and it wasn't technically required but I think it still came out pretty good.

We ended up steering from the syllabus with ANIM 202 and we were gonna do the model sheets with an animation of the character as the final, but there was a crunch in time so we could only do the model sheets, but I really don't mind drawing Riley either way.

ANIM 202 Animations, (I have one more but I'm not uploading it until tomorrow), I haven't posted anything from this semester and I have 10 weeks of stuff, get ready for a mess.
-
I'm gonna be honest though, my favorite out of the ones here, is the 4th one. Just cause it was really fun to that balance on the ball.

Saw this thing and got curious so why not? Used the most recent ones that I’m somewhat proud of.

Working on staffs and I’m honestly favoring the first drawing more than the second. The pose just seems better proportioned than the second.

I did stuff today. I’m designing something and had to make sure it was right before I put it on the folder itself.
-
Small note: the 5 different characters at the bottom aren’t in the same “universe” which is why they’re kinda different from each other.
