Getting Pencily...again

Well as most of you know, I've obtained a position as a Game Art intern so the vast majority of my efforts are going toward that! (I've started a blog about my experience which can be found here.) Thus, I don't really have the time to fully render out my drawings anymore... and so I'm back to posting pencil sketches. Some of these I might return to once I get the time though :)
-
I decided to revisit some of my characters from Covenant! Here are the two rivals, Analise Helkiah and Celia Cottonmeadow. I revamped their designs slightly too.
---------
The two next sketches are both of a new character that I just designed and am already getting really fond of. I can't tell you her name yet... However, as you can see, she has a fondness for playing the saxophone...and cuddling with the saxophone?

Pet Society Halloween Competition Entry

I don't enter contests a whole lot, but when I saw that the Flash game I play on facebook had an item-desiging contest, I decided to give it a shot - especially since it is my dream to work at a place that makes games like Pet Society someday. :3
-
The contest was to design a Halloween Plant - either a tree, a flower, or a vegetable. Not the most exciting thing, but here's what I came up with...
I don't expect to win, but I thought I would show you guys. :)

Birds of Prey

More MousePaw stuff here! Technically this is part of the "Pet Shop Animals" set, but I didn't title it that because really... why would birds like these be in a pet shop?? Anyhow...
This is the bald eagle, Morris.
And this is the hawk, Stringfellow.

Birds of prey are always so tricky to draw, because if you get the proportions wrong it's easy to mistake them for a normal bird or a chicken or something. :( But I have always loved birds of prey so I'd practice drawing them... I hope these guys turned out alright!

I'm going to be starting a Game Art internship soon, for all of you who don't know. I don't know if they will let me post my stuff on here or not! But if not, the game will be on facebook for all to see :)

Pet Shop Animals, Part I

Since part of Word4Word takes place at a pet shop, I've started working on the vector models of all the animals that live there. Again, I call them "models" because they are able to be animated. Anyhow, here's the first bunch: the reptiles.
-
Big Charlie the Boa Constrictor (and his teddy bear Benny)-
Prince the King Snake-

Cammie the Chameleon -

Leon the Chameleon -

More to come.

(100th post!) Takashi & Janet

Here is another picture based on the ongoing rp that my sister and I have, Generation 7 (G7). It is my first illustration created completely with vectors - no photoshop here, 100% flash! I think I'm pretty much sold on vectors now.
-
About the characters: Takashi is a shy, sweet guy from Japan who has had a big crush on the cold, reserved rocker girl Janet ever since they first met. Who would have thought they would get together? But will it last, or is heartbreak imminant?
-
Also, this is my 100th post on this blog. Seems like just yesterday I was at my 50th! >w<
This blog is my very first web domain, but since then I've expanded - I now am on DeviantArt and Carbonmade as well - username "OneWingArt" on both if anyone is curious. :3

Sakuya Flash Animation

Although I just recently brought you a Flash animation, this is something quite different from the SpyRats.
-
We've got a much more complex character and of course a muuuuuch shorter clip - which is why it's best if watched looped. :3 I love Sakuya (from Touhou Project) a lot and after I finished making the vector of her I just couldn't let it be done yet. And I'm really glad I made that decision. I have no doubt that this short clip will be the crown jewel of my next demo reel.
-
I could talk more about this animation and all the different techniques I used in it, but since nobody reads this stuff anyway, on to what you all care about, the link to the clip!

Annie & Soonyi

Now that the opening sequence for the game is finished, it's back to making more vector models! Firstly, here's our armadillo heroine that helps out the SpyRats, Annie.

Not only is she cute and smart, but she can roll completely into a ball. Handy!

-

Now on to more villains. I've already introduced Blueclaw the cat and his sly siamese minion, Ming. Now, here is another siamese minion. This is Soonyi (pronounced "Sue-nee"). Unlike his playful counterpart, Soonyi is more of a bully.

Here are both siamese minions together! Obviously two very different kitties.

They are siamese if you please. They are siamese if you don't please...

-

Just as a side note, I get to do the vocals for Ming! I'm excited about that. (After all, I love villains.) It will also be quite a contrast to the deep voice of Jake Haffie who voices Soonyi.
