To kick off 10 more weeks of Taffetas, here's an inked and colored 2-page spread I did from the sketchbook for you to enjoy!

Check it out on The Taffetas Blog or My Deviantart!

Thank You Pics : Jon and Whit

These are thank you pics for Jon and Whitney Ponikvar, my and Jess's good friends who really came to my and Jess's aid this quarter, offering their amazing talents to both Test Flight and Taffetas. You can check out Jon's webcomic, Peter and Company.

These will be sent out as thank you cards made by the amazing Jess Carrero, along with some Savannah Bee Honey (mmmmm). I hope they enjoy!

These are the first sketches I'll be keeping up with from now on for The Taffetas project in order to raise interest and show a bit more about the show without having to be super-refined.

Small Flash Videos

Hey guys!

Well, it's spring break for me right now but work hasn't ended. Taffetas, Test Flight, and my internship at Mind Catalyst still keep me plenty busy; though, since I don't have school to worry about, I am enjoying some time to myself to get some much-needed R&R as well.

Anyway, I thought I'd finally do something I've been meaning to do, which is upload to this blog some smaller Flash work I do between my three main projects. They're not amazing by any means, but they were all made in under a day, and I'm pretty excited and proud of the fact I can animate some decent, fully colored work in that small of a time frame if I have to.

This was drawn as a thank you to a really awesome and popular deviantartist that was kind enough to draw Jess and I some Veil and Gemini fanart! The random but welcome gift inspired me with all kinds of excited energy and so I decided to draw her some fanart right back. They're a beetle and a leech who are a couple, and really I just wanted an excuse to draw the leech's little tail.

Also, yes, it's finals! I just got through with The Taffetas pitch and wrapping everything up for that for a bit, and I have another class down too, with just one more critique to go tomorrow. I won't lie and tell you I'm not really, really nervous about it, as is typical for me, but I think I should do okay.

Anyway, I'll update this here blog with more information about Test Flight and Taffetas soon!

New Veil drawings

http://thetaffetas.blogspot.com/

For the upcoming pitch to Nancy Spears, I've gone back and drawn these two images to show Veil's likability some more. Some people had trouble seeing his appeal in our practice pitches because I didn't draw him very sympathetic this quarter, for some reason!

Jess has said that we ride a fine line with Veil when pitching since one of the points of his character is that he IS unlikeable at first, being aloof, snarky, uptight, scary-looking,etc. However, once you really get to know him, you see he's actually a pretty good guy.

I'm still unsure about this one.

but either case here's the rough sketch, in case anyone finds this kind of thing ineteresting!
