The Mellow One

A collection of my sketches and other art things.

A Firefly propaganda style poster that I made. Maybe not the final version.

Two of the ending scenes.

I'm really digging the cave in this scene. I didn't put in a ton of trees, but I think that's okay.

Working on making the rest of the backgrounds.

Squirrel (companion)

Fox (companion)

Sammy/Rabbit (main)

Tumblr's messing with the last image some (not sure why), but you get an idea of how it's supposed to look.

Background for the companion scene, not the Firefly type.

It's still a work in progress, but this is the city for my intro that I've been working on. The houses might be done and the road's getting pretty close.

Fancied up some sketches. Deadline's are approaching so there might be more posts these next couple months.

[themellowone]

Creating smaller images with the pen tool isn't my strong suit, but it looks alright.

Some expressions for the fox and rabbit. Rough digital versions, especially the rabbits spiky fur... Larger, more polished versions will not look so weird there!

Haven't been able to meet with my advisor for a while, so here are some pages from my sketchbook for my capstone. Mostly character sketches, but I did get bored and tried for the fancy flower!

Sammy

I've started working on my capstone, which stars Sammy (the stuffed rabbit photo that I posted a while back). I'm just starting, but I'll share the character sketches once they're ready!

Hi tumblr buddies! The time has come for me to share a link... A link to my work in progress lit'l comic that I'm doing for one of my classes this semester. Feel free to check it out if you're super bored or in the mood to give some feedback.

Thanks tumbuddies! tumblr + buddies = tumbuddies?

Sketchbook page! I'll edit/paint(?) it later hopefully.

I posted a sketch-digital edit/painting of my last post as well.

It has been said that without prohibition of enjoyment, that boys will turn to violence and girls will turn to sex.  This idea is shown, purposely or not, through many of the commercials shown in American society.  Men are often portrayed as strong, powerful, and dominant.  Women are often portrayed sexual, objectified, and submissive. Commercials are intended to relate to its intended audience, which means that the model or actress/actor is anyone. Their identity is dissolved until they become just a person, without an identity or face.

A woman can gain power by expressing her identity and face. Objectification takes the power away, but what she reveals can bring back some of her power. The pearls are not only various ways in which an object can be transformed, but they are also a way to portray power struggles, both between men and women and between prohibition and enjoyment.  Being in the commercial limelight brings about the enjoyment of being seen on television or in magazines and the prohibition of power and individuality.
