Sydney's Art

Hi! My name's Sydney. I'm an artist/cartoonist/animator living in Los Angeles. Please enjoy my art and let me know if you have any questions or shoot me an email at [email protected] if you're interested in working together! I'm wide open to all kinds of freelance :)

Between the Vice News episode on Charlottesville and today's baffling press conference, I had a really hard time today. I needed to take time and meditate on something powerful, so I drew an interpretation of this photo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…/Brave-woman-photographed-stand…

I hope you like it

This was supposed to be a sequential thing but once again I got bogged down in details and then didn't have the energy to finish it because 👏that's 👏 what I 👏 do but here's a funny moment from my bachelorette watch group this week - I call it THE FANTASY SUITE

hey so theres been this post going around about how off model art in animation is terrible and awful and youre a bad artist if you do this and like... i really like it when characters look a bit different in some eps, i like off model, when you see an ep and go "ah! its this guy's ep!", its so much fun to me, and i unno, this negativity been stressing me for a while now. youre a cool animator, what is your stance on this?

I tried writing up a longer response, but I think this quote from AOSTH’s director Kent Butterworth sums it up best:

Are we really gonna use Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog as some kind of bastion of modern animation standards?

The quote doesn’t even hold up when you stop and think about it for 5 seconds. A really short Darth Vader is still recognizable as Darth Vader, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s way off model by virtue of being really short when Darth Vader is supposed to be tall and imposing.

Essentially, it comes down to this:

Yeah, it doesn’t look that bad, and it’s not really that noticeable if you’re not really paying attention, but it’s also not that hard to make sure characters are the right height in relation to another character.

It’s dumb, but it’s not the end of the world.

oh go trace a model sheet you boring nerds

[colorpulp]

lmao. my favorite character designs are the ones that are iconic enough to be recognizable even when they’re in wildly off-model poses and expressions! drawing off-model can be a tool used for effect, emphasis, style, humor, etc etc etc

[lulupuff]

“oh go trace a model sheet you boring nerds” ahahahaha hell yeah

one of the reasons i couldn’t get on board with the vicious sailor moon crystal hate circlejerk was because everyone just wanted to sound snobby and shit on the off-model animation and ‘bad anatomy.’ yeah, anatomy is gonna look bad when you’re taking a screenshot from a dramatic sequence. good thing med students aren’t referencing cartoons to learn anatomy.

I saw Suicide Squad and it was a real stinker but I liked Enchantress a lot!
