Some rough boards

Storyboards for a personal project.

All the crit and advice I got at SIGGRAPH regarding my boards was that I have to be more loose and stop worrying about details in the background. A year ago, I had three reviewers told me to stop drawing boards and stick with something else, so it felt AMAZING to have people tell me that I'm doing okay. 

I will be attending CTN Expo in November, so I'm trying to re work all the boards I already have in my book, and add some new ones. Also, let me know if you'll be there so we can hang out and draw!

Cool? Cool.

Self Portrait

This is for a small book some of my friends and I are working on. I feel my hair should look less spongy, my skin should be a bit darker, and of course the bags under my eyes should be bigger.

Job Interview

I made this for my Experimental Animation class during the first semester of third year. This was part of a set of (failed) experiments, but the story itself was at least cute, I think.

Grad Film Ideas

So... none of them is fleshed out or well thought of yet. Brainstorming. Yep.

Idea #1: A girl
In a world with no females or sexual reproduction  (babies are born from plants), a solitary man finds a baby that's just not like the rest. By learning about differences through his relationship with his new daughter, he learns how to deal with those that are more like him.

Idea #2: A ghost

After being kicked out of the haunted mansion that had been his home for a very long time, a lonely ghost decides to pack his bags and move to the city. Follow his adventures as he travels through Craigslist to find the perfect place to chill and as he develops relationships with the living! 

Idea #3: A convention

Nicolle, the local cosplay star and leader of the A-list girl clique at Central City Comic Con, hates fake nerds. After Anna, a casual sci-fi fan, wins the coolest and most precious action figure in a raffle, Nicolle and her friends will do anything to show her who's boss and kick her butt out of the convention for good.

My Happy Place

Submission for 27pm’s April Jam “My Happy Place”. Construction paper cut outs and tons of photoshopping. Also, make sure you check out everyone else’s submissions. There’s really good work going on there.

I managed to finish, and it didn’t take as long as I thought it would. Makes me feel bad for getting rid of some characters that might’ve added a lot to the composition. Oh well.
Also, I’m not entirely happy with the text. I never am. FONTS Y U SO TRICKY!?
Like I said before, 27 pm is a Salvadoran illustration collective. They have tons of really cool things going on, so try to keep up with them! They’re pretty awesome, and very talented.
