super special stuff

long time no post

2008-12-17T00:33:00.001-08:00

Hey all, sorry it has been so long since I updated, but things have been pretty busy for me lately. I started working at Planet Moon Studios in September as a full time concept artist, which has been awesome. There are days when I still can't believe I get paid to do what I do, it's ridiculous. Also, I am picking up more freelance work these days, which leads me to my next thing, I now have a new website, www.neenerbot.com. It is a work in progress but it is currently up and running and ready for some visitors. Please stop by and take a look around. It is fairly simple, and like I said, still a work in progress, but it is a far more effective way for me to get my work out there. I will still be updating the website, but it will be more for news and fun stuff.

In the meantime, here is some new recent work, one is a logo for my boyfriend's website, www.drewolanoff.com, and the other is something fun I did based on my robot design and the digg.com website.

I did this for my friend Aromrak, in exchange for the cutest little handbag ever. She has an awesome little etsy page, be sure and check it out. She makes jewelry and clothing and handbags and wallets and all sorts of cute stuff!

sunsets

2006-10-17T19:10:00.000-07:00

We have been having some crazy pretty sunsets lately, i guess it must be the toxic air from the nuke tests in N.Korea. I just wish they looked as pretty in pictures as they do in for reals.

old project i finally made good.
yay!

omg

2006-07-24T13:44:00.000-07:00

Ok, so here's some pics from comic-con, which was absolutely awesome. I am definitely planning on going back next year, although I will not be staying at the same crap hotel out in the middle of nowhere. I think that Lyndsey and I are going to make comics and t-shirts and be exhibitors next year though. I met some really awesome people, such as Chris Sanders, Louie Del Carmen, Doug TenNapel, and David Colman. I went to panel discussions on pitching an animated series, Kung Fu movies, and on Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. I saw lots of storm troopers, including Elvis. Spiderman was seen texting and making important calls. I think everyone needs to go to comic-con at least once in their life if they are interested in anything related to comics, film, animation, video games, toys, etc. It's grrrrrrrreat!

more new old stuff

2006-07-19T14:08:00.000-07:00

i like the squirrel a lot. i think squirrels are so cool anyway, but a boxing squirrel? c'mon... how cool would that be?

new old stuff

2006-07-19T00:45:00.000-07:00

just some stuff i am adding to my portfolio, i think... not sure about a couple yet.

Comic-con

2006-07-17T02:11:00.000-07:00

I am so excited right now. I am completely exhausted from working three double shifts in a row, but it's all for a good cause. I am going to Comic-con. It might change my life. I really think that in the future, post-Comic-con, I will have to refer to all my life experiences on a scale of 1-10, 1 being lame and 10 being COMIC-CON!! The best part about it is its a two fold experience, I am going to try and get some folks to see my portfolio and do some networking, AND I get to laugh at the people in costumes. Oh snap, there's a third part. I get to check out cool art and film stuff and maybe buy some more books. Oh man.... I am not sure if my heart will hold out for the entire time. The masquerade show with all the extreme hardcore fans? PLEASE. I am going to have to wear adult diapers. I need to go to bed now, but trust me, I will be dreaming of one of two things; a) Comic-con b) That I am on a capsizing boat looking for the emergency escape hatch and people are asking me for tabasco.

I have gotten bored

2006-06-13T21:22:00.000-07:00

For the past couple of weeks, I have been taking a vacation, mostly from me. My official vacation began on the 3rd, after I shipped my portfolio off to an interested studio. I felt I needed some time to not have any pressure to do anything since graduating and going through all the portfolio preperation and the stress involved with that. I thought two weeks would be good, and I have been having to remind myself not to feel guilty, stressed, or inadequate in this time period. Now it has not even been two weeks, and I am getting antsy. SO, it looks like I shall now return to the portfolio and creating and all that jazz. I am too bored without any pressure or stress and I need something to do. I think the time off was good though, and maybe I should do it more often, but in smaller quantities.

moustaches are cool

animals are cute

2006-05-21T02:47:00.000-07:00

i just finished an animal drawing class, we got rained out of nearly every zoo or other place with animals that you could possibly think of. it was fun though. i like these drawings, so i am putting them on here.

the cat and the fox

2006-05-20T19:14:00.000-07:00

thar ye go. the third and final sister in the story. they are a fun looking bunch, aren't they? once again, here are the others... so you can see them all together even... i had fun with these guys, as if you can't tell.

violet grows up

2006-05-04T19:33:00.000-07:00

i am pretty happy with the way she came out. seriously, i mean compare her to the kid version, and you'll see what i mean, she looks just like a 16 or 17 year old version of the little girl, right? hell yeah. now i am getting somewhere.

adult prince

2006-05-03T22:59:00.000-07:00

there he is... all grown up.
i think i like it, but i need to get the little girl done as well, and i have her penciled out, but i need to ink and color it and its getting late and i am tired and coffee is making me sick to my stomach lately. so it might not get done tonight.

the prince

2006-05-01T01:48:00.000-07:00

i finally got the prince to post, i am not really sure why, but for the longest time i kept trying to post him and he was coming out in these really bizzarro colors. like teal and purple and stuff. the positive thing about that is i could tell that my color values were all good becuase the crazy colors still worked. anyway, here he is. hopefully by the end of this week i will have some more stuff to put up on here, like the adult versions of both the prince and the little girl.

1 of 3 crazy sisters

the dog

2006-04-27T22:53:00.000-07:00

i done re-did the colors a little on the dog, he's supposed to be of a rather intimidating size but really really gaunt. he's a gaurd dog, but is so weak from hunger he can't gaurd a thing. except some bread, maybe.

here we go

2006-04-27T12:30:00.000-07:00

ah, i figured it out! file too big. so here she is, the old granny lady.

granny lady

2006-04-27T00:05:00.000-07:00

ok, well i was going to upload some more stuff, but apparently my computer says otherwise. not usre whats going on, but i will add more as soon as i whip this thing into shape.

2006-04-26T23:44:00.000-07:00

so, i am tinkering with the colors on my characters, but i wanted to put something up, so here's the little girl, version1 and 2. according to MY screen she looks fine in the yellow dress, but the second i go anywhere else she looks like she has jaundice. not cool. anyhoo, here she is.

version 1- i am sad about her wearing a taupe dress, but it looks more like she is poor, which is kind of the point here.

version 1- yeah, so she looks a little yellow... i still like the yellow dress though...

oh, and here's her dad, he is pretty much done-

hiya

2006-04-26T20:30:00.000-07:00

So, I have decided to give this a shot as a temporary personal portfolio type website. Setting up my own website would be far too time consuming and otherwise annoying at this point in my life, so this will have to do. I will be posting up stuff as i finish it, and then all ya'll can look at it and give me feedback or whatever you might feel like.
Thanks!
