ARTIE AND THE WOLF MOON

"After sneaking out against her mother's wishes, Artie Irvin spots a massive wolf―then watches it don a bathrobe and transform into her mom. Thrilled to discover she comes from a line of werewolves, Artie asks her mom to share everything―including the story of Artie's late father. Her mom reluctantly agrees. And to help Artie figure out her own wolflike abilities, her mom recruits some old family friends. Artie thrives in her new community and even develops a crush on her new friend Maya. But as she learns the history of werewolves and her own parents' past, she'll find that wolves aren't the scariest thing in the woods―vampires are."

Experimenting with using Blender for illustrations. Like with any kind of 3d, I always think about wether this will take me longer to model or to just draw it. I drew the character, but used a lit model for the leaves!

10 years since Wreck it Ralph?? I can't believe it! Here is a small sampling of my VisDev work from that film. I had such a great time working with this crew and we really got to stretch our legs with lots of different styles.

It's been a while Tumblr, but I'm going to start posting more here! Here's a set of characters I sketched for Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower" We've been in a book club reading all of Butler's books in publication order and it's been such a wonderful eye opening experience. Parable is a frightening and prophetic post apocalyptic story that got my imagination running. I would love to do a graphic novel with a rough line like these!

Just a sketch while I was rewatching the last season of Downton Abbey. I saw the movie on Friday with my mom and loved it! It’s not revolutionary, but it felt like 2 more episodes of Downton and it’s all I wanted. It was like catching up with old friends in much better clothes. #downtonabbey #art #sketch #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uNWD3H1Sh/?igshid=10syido6d2tvy
