A quick animation for the day. Prompt - first kiss. Mine was while stargazing.

Hey everyone, another festival has selected Living with Dog for a screening! This is the vidlings film festival in Hamtramck, Michigan, near Detroit. I’m going to try to be at the opening party on Friday night. Come check it out! My film plays at 12:30 on Saturday the 8th.

I miss my brother. I miss my dog. I draw to avoid drawing. I'm having a tough time.

(and no, I didn’t forget a leg. She really only has 3 legs)

Simple backgrounds are a godsend.

More work from my film.

[thenorthernartist]

Koala babies. I can’t figure out if they’re cute or not.

Almost every shot in my film is a sad one. That makes for tough times.

[thenorthernartist]

My film is coming along, and it’s sad.

I forgot to post this here! A ten minute chicken sketch, where the prompt was triangles.

[thenorthernartist]

Ever heard of a gharial? Weirdest creatures ever, so I did a cool-down sketch of one. 

[thenorthernartist]

Garden witch! Better photo of it coming soon.

[thenorthernartist]

A watercolor witch from inktober that I decided to color. Urban witch theme!

He’s got a fig, apparently. 

[thenorthernartist]

Froggos! Or lizards? Definitely amphibians, because the guy belongs to the department of amphibian resources.

An assignment from one of my classes, where we had to take inspiration from a natural form. Mine was driftwood.

Here’s a rough animation from a ways into the movie. This is one of the sad scenes. 

[thenorthernartist]

My movie is coming along, slowly.

[thenorthernartist]

A colored version of the fox sketch I did a while back!

[thenorthernartist]

Some cool cat shapes that I tried. Sorry about the water mark. I don’t want anyone using these like a coloring book, because that tends to happen to cat drawings for some reason. My favourite one is the bottom right one. 

[sleepingbearproject]

Got a design for the Mama Bear!  I’m really liking it. 

[thenorthernartist]

Moving along with my Senior Thesis.

Some highlights of my recent sketches that I thought belonged together.
