Rancid Milk

Hey, yes, hi, hello. I'm a student in my junior year over at the Art Institute of Boston. I'm getting my bachelor's degree in Illustration and a minor in Animation. I live on my own with two roommates, my boyfriend and the world's two best cats. I got a thing for video games, literature, comics and about a million other interests and all the while I'm 20-years-old who still watches cartoons. I hope to get a career in doing concept art for video games, but only time will tell and I still have a lot of work to do down the line.

Consider this a sketchblog of sorts. I'll only be making art related posts, and I only ever reblog art I find inspirational, amazing or helpful. If you have any questions or comments feel free to message or ask me; I'm usually too internet-shy to strike conversations myself, but love chatting.

A couple months old. Work, sketches, ideas for a comic I plan on doing. Mostly experimenting between digitally inking, working with comics (it’s been a while), and coloring. I think I prefer my work with flat colors. It allows me to still be extremely sketchy while clear. I think my work is starting to take a better direction, but I don’t know. I wish I had more work to show you guys, but I’m not going to be posting a bunch of storyboards I did from my animation class haha.

I only ever posted the finished version of the rider, so I’m reposting him with his creature. Sorry about the lack posts; I’ve been pretty reserved lately, playing video games, reading, and drawing exclusively in my sketchbook. Been very moody about my work… I have 3D illustration work I could share, but I sort of don’t want to? I think it’s very mediocre. Eh.

For my junior studio class. By the way, I have an interview next week with one of the places I applied to so I’m pretty psyched.

For my Business of Illustration class we were told to make a promotion. I made this, gonna put it on cards and shit. Whooptie do. I’m pretty happy with this, but when I wake up in the morning I’m probably going to go over everything and tell myself how I ruined my life by the tiniest thing ever and now I’ll have to make a living selling worms to the local fishermen. 

I have so much work to do, finals are the worst. I want to sleep, but I shouldn’t. I sign a new lease in the morning, thank glob for that. I bed/work now (ie. crying myself to sleep over my tablet).

Here are some designs from last semester of a seed packet and some postcards. 

By the way, I’ve been applying to places for an internship during the summer. Wish me luck.

Friend asked to see what I was up to… So here’s a work in progress that I’m very unhappy with for various reasons. I want to finish this tonight, probably not sleeping because of it. I might delete this later…

Alright, so this is the finished rider to an alien creature (which I still want to go back to and touch up) I posted a while back. I’m pretty happy with this except for maybe the background. I had a really shitty day today, and week actually. Been thinking about all the stuff I have to do, not feeling well and sleeping too much. Just want to doodle dumb shit, but feel obligated to do otherwise. Anyway, tell me what you think, if you have any suggestions for improvements it’d be much appreciated. I still think I need lots of improvement on refinement.

So this is a poster of a doll that I’ve been working on in my 3D illustration class, so it’s also concept art, kinda. I’ve been working on my resume and cover letter to apply for internships in the Boston area. I’m naming the doll Cuidightheach, which is an old Celtic name meaning “Helpful” (If you’ve any idea on its correct pronunciation please send me a message because I’m pretty sure I’m pronouncing it wrong and can’t find anything on the web to correct myself). I need to download more fonts, fonts that have better readability and that I still enjoy. There are other things I want to touch up before posting, but I suck and have finals and end of the year critique wavering over my head like a big ol’ mean storm and I gotta take care of that.
On another note, I’ve watched the first to episodes of Korra and I’m all about that show. I might do some fanart of Korra and maybe even the Last Air bender since I love the fuck out of that show too. If I do there’s still a chance that I hide it away in my sketchbook like a jerk, only time will tell.
