Fan Art Fun
Feeling a little rusty with my drawing, so decided to play around by mashing together famous characters and their various aesthetics. Snow White has been drawn in an Adventure Time style, whereas Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time has been drawn in a Disney Princess style.

Drawing Inspiration
After a full year of Honours study, I thought the last thing I would want to work on would be another background- but as soon as I finished uni I had found a new mini project. I've been proof reading an aspiring fantasy author's latest writings and was quite taken with the atmosphere of a dense European forest populated by an un-named forest being of some kind.
The scene I have used is set before the actual story events take place. I really wanted an opportunity to mess around with creating art based upon word description only. Essentially a concept artist.

Just for Fun
Sometimes you just need a break from stressing about uni stuff. This is a quick little chibi interpretation of Marvel's Loki. Done in about an hour and in photoshop CS3 and on Wacom.

Mid Year Holidays
In between working on and stressing about my honours project I've taken to doing a little bit of arts and crafts. It's nice to work on something completely devoid of uni value. So here are the end results:

What's a Siggraph?
When I first applied to do a year of study at Honours level, my first thought was that I had no idea how to organise an internship. I have been applying for internship placements everywhere in Australia and overseas with little success. I think that since cheaper work markets (South Korea, China and India) have entered the industry, many of the grunt work entry level positions that we would have once had as the first rung on the ladder; no longer exist in many studios. So then I began to look at 'experiences' that would get me closer to the industry and give me an opportunity to learn along the way.
Before uni started this year I applied to be a SIGGRAPH student volunteer and then in May.......I was accepted. I'm very excited and also nervous, but more excited than anything. This year SIGGRAPH is in Los Angeles. I'm a member of ACM SIGGRAPH in Australia and was hoping to go to SIGGRAPH Asia this year, but I am well stoked that I will be a student volunteer in LA instead. Being a student volunteer means that I will be working 30hours over the course of the convention, but they have assured us that we will still have time to see and do things. Plus they are putting us up in accommodation and providing us with full access pass to the convention.
So what exactly is a SIGGRAPH? Its a conference and convention for computer graphics and emerging interactive technologies. But it is so much more. It's an opportunity to meet other animators, programmers and artists from around the globe. Plus it sounds like fun. And they organise special student volunteer sessions just for us. From the 5-9 August at the LA Convention Centre there are panels, courses, an exhibition hall, job market hall plus an animation festival. At the moment all these events are just words on a page so I have no real expectations about what I will see only that I'm sure that it will be worthwhile. To see full details about SIGGRAPH, please click here.
While I'm in LA I'm also going to attend a Disney Animation weekend which happened to be on at the end of SIGGRAPH. Once I'm finished in down town LA I pack my little bags and head to Anaheim. The D23 (Disney Fan Club) is putting on a retrospective of 75 years of Disney animation conference over two days at the Disneyland Hotel. They have so far only released certain information but I am loving the fact that it is all about Disney Animation and will include presentations and lectures by Disney animators such as Andreas Deja (my all time fave), Joe Hale, Burney Mattinson and Eric Goldberg. Plus voice talents and music, panels and screenings. So that's the weekend sorted.
I stay on in Anaheim till Wednesday that week I think, so one of those days will be spent training it up to Simi Valley where the Reagan Library has a rare collection of artefacts from the Disney Archives on display- from film scripts and storyboards to theme park rides and live action film props. This one is extremely exciting and will be worth the two hour amtrak ride.
The rest of the time, and it will be summer so everything is open late and it will be light till late as well, will be spent at Disneyland; just cos.
I haven't really been thinking about it all over the last few months as I've been focused on my study, but when I start to lay it all out like this, it's starting to sound pretty good.

Brave Fanart
Just spent the last hour or so ripping the guts out of my honours film storyboards to get it into something more manageable, so it was time for a night off- time for fan art.
This one is of a predictable subject, Pixar's Brave and the character Merida. I really just wanted to get stuck into that hair and see if I could make an attempt at it.
Plus, the colour combinations are just divine.
