With the random generator set to Gen 1, this week for ‘Pokemonday’ I made a trio of Dratini.

With the random generator set to Gen 5, this week for ‘Pokemonday’ we have Tynamo.

I didn’t think I would be able to find much to do with this Pokemon since it’s just a white drop with eyes. However, after a bunch of experimenting, it ended up having a lot more potential than I initially gave it credit.

A little more pixel art -this time for the protagonist of the comic I’ve been brainstorming.

I’m leaning towards the name ‘Cornelia Ethan.’
She is - much to her own annoyance - named after corn.

Pixel renditions of the current four heroes in Gigi D. G.’s Cucumber Quest, one of my favorite webcomics. I limited myself to a 20x20 grid for each character, though I eventually gave Carrot another couple of pixels in height.

After I do one last render of my thesis for my grade, I plan to take about two weeks away from it before I start touching it up again.

In the mean time, I was thinking about maybe doing a minute-long Game Grumps animation. I don’t have a lot of experience with caricature, but I rather like these Muppet-y designs for Jon and Arin.

And since I didn’t make any Pokemon last week, here’s a bonus - the adorably spooky Litwick!

Back to Pokemondays! This week, with the randomizer set to Gen 4, we have Mamoswine.

I thought his eye-rims looked kind of like goggles, so one iteration ended up a rather impractical ski-instructor. I also tried to tap into its mammoth roots.

Here’s the establishing shot for Act 2 of my senior thesis and the frame I’ll be submitting as my film’s preview image. This is the first time I’ve really shown a ‘full’ shot for the final product and I’m quite pleased with how things are looking!

With the randomizer set to give me something from Gen 3, this week for Pokemonday I made some quick ‘Pokemon Challenge’ designs for cute little Seedot.

Another ‘Pokemon Challenge.’ Since I got a Gen 1 monster last time, I set the random generator to focus in on Gen 2 and got Chinchou.

Challenged myself to be much more spontaneous and quick making these designs compared to last time.

A pair of redesigns!
I decided to revisit some rather neglected characters from last year.

The Fungus Elf & the helicopter-backpack Delivery Guy.

Concept doodle for Cornelia, a comic protagonist I’ve been thinking up.

After playing around with the proportions for a while I’ve grown to rather like the 2-heads-tall-with-stubby-legs look and would like to adapt some other characters to it.

Latest piece for my ‘Dance in the Media’ class at UArts.
The theme for the assignment was ‘patterns.’

I created a series of Piet Mondrian-type images that interweave and overlap to create a multitude of additional pieces throughout.

The music is “Padanaya Blokov” created by Kevin MacLeod.

Thought I’d share a few more rough shots from my film now that the animation is just about done.

Took a break from animating for an evening to make these cute little pixel portraits of my film’s cast. Might be fun to use these in the credits.

Decided to take the Pokedesign challenge I’ve seen other artists tackling. Using the random generator, I ended up with Dodrio. Figures I would get one of the beasts with three heads right off the bat!
