Mock up of a character for a project that’s been running around in my head. Those in the bottom corner are some very old “before” sketches, but I decided a more realistic style suited this project more. She’s gotta stay in shape for her work :)
Mina Evans 2014 Animation reel
Just updating a bit. This is a film I worked on with some other students at SJSU. I got to animate the shot with the bear and the key.
Rare Candy: A Pokemon Gallery & Charity Auction
miname28:
Wow, hey Tumblr! I just wanted to tell you guys about an AWESOME Pokemon gallery/auction that I am a part of~ The auction is online and open for all of you guys to see! 151 artists each do a rendition of one of the first gen Pokemon (sorry we don’t have any newer gens, it was hard enough gathering 151 of us). Please come check it out and tell your buddies :)
OH! And all of the proceeds are going to charity! “Canines for Disabled Kids” helps disabled children get assistance animals <3
I kinda hijacked this post to show off some of the art, I hope that’s cool, Mina. ; u;
Also I was browsing and was like, “Whoa what a cute Squirtle… Oh, Mina did that.” Of course~ <3
Thought I would re-blog this again for maybe more auctionees, but also because: WOW! We were featured on KOTAKU :D
One last time~ The auction is ending in 18 hours! If there is anything that anyone likes, now is the time to get a hold of it!~ YAY! BID BID BID

Wow hey look! I'm doing my first for fun sketch in like, ten years! Well, maybe three or something. Maybe I'm a huge dork, but she is one of my Dragon Quest IX crew > > I liked that they had a fuller figure when you could choose body type, so I think I like her the best <3 And her eyes are eternally closed like that.
Illustrative art discriminated against….again. Sign the petition.
Students of the Animation/Illustration program at San José State University are demanding their own department, after being denied services and space equivalent to what other art students at their school get.
According to a faculty member, the A/I students get only 6,000 square feet of space, while the Fine Art students get 63,000 and won’t share, despite A/I topping out its enrollment while Art’s enrollment falls. That’s not all. A/I students are suffering because their student-to-teacher ratio is higher than Art or Design as well; and in an effort to keep more from enrolling, they are subjected to a higher level of GPA - 3.75 - than almost every other department in the university in order to gain admission to the prestigious and successful program. It looks like the university is embarrassed to have skilled workers training under its roof, and is trying to close down the program.
In the absence of any public statement or explanation as to why the A/I students are not treated as other art students are, it appears that the students of the Animation/Illustration program at San José State University are suffering because the administration and the Art faculty who control the department have an innate and unexamined prejudice against illustration and cartoon (A/I instructors are not given a seat in the decision-making boardroom, according to students in the video).
Such prejudice against commercial arts developed in the late 19th century and peaked in the 1950s, when it was used to bolster the modernist New York School elite. In recent decades, scholarly theories from institutional critique to Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital to theories of popular culture have all demonstrated that the demonization of illustration was a product of mid-20th-century time and place, when thinkers such as the Frankfurt School marxists decried commercialism in art and culture following the devastation wreaked by Nazi propagandists, the rise of Fordist capitalism and its dark side, the Great Depression. What adherents to the “culture critique” overlook is that the so-called non-commercial arts are just as commercialized as illustration, and in far more insidious ways, being an unregulated market speculated upon by the world’s wealthiest seeking tax shelters.
Illustration Studies is now a hot field of academic inquiry. The Association of Historians of American Art is hosting a public panel on illustration, at the 2013 College Art Association conference, chaired by myself. Other conferences for the study of illustration are happening in Portugal, Krakow, New York, Plymouth, Dartmouth. Jettisoning or neglecting its Animation/Illustration section indicates San Jose State is out of touch with current academic trends.
While critical analysis of corporate media and popular art is a necessary component of making a better world through art, disowning a highly competent program is not the way to do it. San José State university would be well advised to see the opportunity under their noses to pioneer Practice-Based Research in the United States.
Sign the petition to get the Animation/Illustration program its own department, where they can nurture up creators who will apply good critical thinking skills along with their studio skills, to make the university proud.
Gotta support my peeps
Speaking of final products of my animation….. GREEN NINJA IS COMPLETE!! And on youtube! Hooray!
For those who don’t know, Green Ninja: For Goodness Rake is the 2D short that I got to be a part of last semester, one of my pencil tests is posted here as well (it’s the weird pink one).
Summer animation
Hey anyone that follows me! I have also done some (and by some, I mean a lot) animating over summer break!! Unfortunately, the animating that I did were parts of some great short films, so I am out of my rights to post my work here. You will eventually see it! One film is of an aspiring little ballet dancer, and one is the life story of a Korean immigrant. Both are fantastic stories! I can't wait for you guys to be able to see them in their final form :)
Progress for my shot in 3D animation class. Animation Just out of blocking, still lots and lots of polish to go.
Not sure if I should be posting this, but this is the pencil test for my scene in my animation class. Also, not sure why everything turned pink when I uploaded it to youtube.
This is a short reel of the better scenes in my animation, Tidal. This is my first time animating something that was not a ball bounce or a brick drop. I would like to revisit this project sometime when I have more experience under my belt.
Carrie from my short animation Tidal <3
An example of some of my more recent figure drawing. I love these models :)
Welcome~
Hey everyone! I'm Mina, and welcome to my very own sketch blog~ I thought I should have a place to post my work without hesitation. So, here on my sketch blog, I'm going to post things that I'm working on for school, outside projects, and just doodles and stuff. Hope you like my stuff and things~ :D
