Real World Pt1

 I've been looking up studios in the LA area to try and find work. So far got a few, but I MUST beef up my portfolio, so I've been doing the work using the advice given to me by Sang-Jin Kim during the Disney Inspire days portfolio review. I even found a place near me to do some figure drawing. So much work to do, so, so much....

Also here's my pirate queen. I ended up taking off more of the details I had for her, to give her a more animate-able look.

Graduated, now to work!

 So I've graduated from college, HURRAH! Now to rework my portfolio to be amazing so I can go out to the real world and try and find work. I'm going to add more variation in my work so I've been practicing the same theme in different styles. I've been doing SPACE recently, like this boy and his robot, think I'll go for pirates or monsters next...

Wolfman

I wanted to try something different, so I did a non-human. I'm a fan of the classic horror films, so I felt I'd give a pass at a were-wolf. He ended up being pretty toony, which is what I unintentionally intended XD

Juan Colorado

Been working on my character designs to add to my portfolio. I didn't know what to come up with for a while, so I did characters based off songs I know. Here's Juan Colorado and Night Nurse. Wanted to do something more stylized this time.

Rockette and retrofuture junk

I've been getting into retrofuture lately. I've always been a fan but never made a piece about it. I wanted the girl to have REALLY big hair, guess it's because I was feeling like Barbarella. The trouble I had where with the colors. Wasn't sure what would go with what. I also tried using as many layers as possible, though around the end, I forgot that rule, so a lot of the little details got put in the same layer as the line-work.

Animations of old

Dead Ed and Tiff from Lesley Sierra on Vimeo.

Look what I found! This was my first real animation project ever, I always wanted to finish it, and I have to update it now since the character design has changed since I made it.

Story time

I had been pondering this idea to practice a simpler style. I'll be making a short little storybook about my dog. I have here the final design of my sweet and funny little Cheva, I think I'll add myself in it too. I'll be working, and hopefully finishing the book during my summer break.
