Mirror Mask Avatar

Helena, the main character of MirrorMask...who is so much like my role-playing character Kiri, its frightening. (But Kiri came first, I swear!) (I keep meaning to draw her...but everytime I do, it turns out awful)

Come to find out, Kiri is a real, exsisting name. I just thought it up on the spot (like most of my character's names, ha ha) but it's actually a guy's name, and its hawaiian or something odd like that. I forget what it means...probably something like 'happy' or 'blessed'...something so unbeffiting, its ironically hysterically funny.

Lawrence - cell background

Last picture - I promise. Just the background, done on the computer in a watercolor/acrylic paint filter sort of thing.
Now why was I posting all of this?
I don't remember...

Lawrence - cell

This is just an animation cell. I don't know why I have it, but I like it. I'm just happy I did decide to put a nose on him - people kept asking if he was an alien or something.
Poor Lawrence.
Us Piano players are so misunderstood.

Lawrence - costume ideas

I haven't exactly made these sketches readable - I just scanned 'em in. So, I'm sorry for the poor quality.

-The first outfit on the left is Elizabethan England, with the ruff and all that. (Isn't he just adorable?)

-The second is stereotypical french, baguette in hand.

-The third is modern geek - rumpled white shirt and tie, with converse on. *sigh* if only he were real...

-The fourth is an army sort of outfit. I'm not entirely sure of where I was going with this one.

-And the last is Knight in shining armor.

I ended up sticking with his black tails, for his piano recital.

Lawrence - Facial Expressions

Another study of the lovely little man...

My dear Lawrence!

I finally got most of his things uploaded not too long ago, so I think I'll share now (if, er, I haven't already. I can't remember). Anyway, last year in my digital arts class (which this website owes its heart to) we did a huge project at the end of the year of hand-drawn, frame by frame, animation.

And this is my adorable little man.

His name is Lawrence. Above, he doesn't have much of a face - I didn't add the nose until we actually started work (and I forget why).

Queen Jadis of Narnia? Queen Jack!

I love this picture to no end...I had a photo of my dear sibling squinting at the sun, and only found the evil expression befitting of the evil empress.

ha ha ha ha....!

How Peregrin Took arrived in Kinsington Gardens, London

Another Gump thing I've done. I giggle to whole time I'm playing on the computer. Small wonder my family always thinks I'm up to no good...

Freakazoid!

How I love this little blue guy - he is probably the best superhero of all time, bar none! I hadn't seen him since I was 7 or 8 (his show only lasted 2 seasons anyway) but I've been finding snippets of episodes on youtube and such...and reliving a zanier part of my childhood.

This is a background I made...not that any one but me would actually use it...

PS - I upgraded Finch's nest, as you can see. Let me know how easy it is to use it!

"Where are the wires?"

Just another Prestige thing. I think I'm about done with toying with images... I need to draw more.

(oh and happy late Thanksgiving everyone!)

Me, as Mr. Angier!

It's not very good photoshop, but nonetheless...I'd make a good Mr. Angier, wouldn't I? (I just looove his clothes. I think a trip to Hobby Lobby's fabrics needs to happen soon...)

"Hey - what am I holding?"

Andy Serkis (aka Gollum) in the Prestige!

It's so pretty!

This is an old drawing that I just scanned in and fixed up

just now. Tell me what you think...

Summer...

Even though its going into winter....guess what I'm dreaming of?

How Mr. Tumnus Came to be in Arkansas...

This is a photograph I took while on Spring Break Vacation (last march, I believe) that I've since played with. The tree in the picture really is a Gump - it's doorway was wide enough to walk through.

So anyway....I wondered what would happen if Mr. Tumnus actually followed Lucy through the Wardrobe and into "Spar Oom". Chaos, of course! The Wardobe being a portal, and he being a different creature than she (having an opposite magical field, you understand), the portal goes haywire and our dear little Faun turns up in Present Day Southern United States of America.

This tickles me to no end.

a joust

I made the edges all weird because people's heads were in the way, and there was no clean way to photoshop them out. So, yeah.
A Joust!

anachronism

This isn't really artwork or anything - just a photograph I took at the ren fest that I find intensley humorus. Everything appears medievalish:the stone wall, carved benches, and stain-glass window of (presumably) some saint - but take a look at th left side of the photograph, high up on the wall.

It's a wireless internet router.

Is this not just funny?

Smirking Statue

I wish I had a broader photograph, but this is the rim of the wall surrounding the jousting arena. (I'll put up jousting things - as soon as I can find them!)

There are various Greek busts and small statues adorning the wall, and it appeared that this one watched all passer-bys with a questioning smirk. I just couldn't pass it up...

Statue

There are five different gardens around the fair, and two, I believe, are decorated with fanciful greek statues, mermaids, and copper fish fountains and the like. This is one of the statues that I changed the background and such on....just 'cuz I felt like it. (And there were tubby tourists in the background, which annoyed me.)

Ah, Renaissance Festival!

I do believe this year was the best one yet - of course, it would have been made all the more gorgeous if the Fellowship were here...but never fear! I have majestic plans for the future!

This is a photograph I took (that I've since fixed up to make it look painted) of one the towers at the entrance the fairgrounds. It stands about 20 feet high, and really is made of stone with stained glass windows and such. Ah, breathtaking! I love the fair immensley.

More is coming...!

Another day of boredom...

Jack tried biting the camera, so I simply snapped a photo....teehee...
