A BEAUTIFUL TALE

CONCERNING A GIRAFFE AND A UNICORN.
open to interpretation.

YOU DECIDE!

It's a...metaphor?

Hi, my name is Amanda. I enjoy drawing in my spare time, taking long walks on the beach, and misunderstanding simple assignments.

Had to make a looping animation that showed depth.

Olddddd work!

This is a collection of older projects done last year that I never got around to posting. Now that I'm drowning in homework, I decided to put them up today. Ha ha.

This one is called "The Noisy Oyster". Task was to fold one piece of paper and then use the same shape at least 50 times. I went for chaos.

This was based off of a screenshot from Spirited Away. The task was to recreate it with pointilism as well as boost up the color intensity. In my humble opinion, it looks like a bag of skittles threw up, but is still one of my favorite paintings. Acrylics.

( It looks much better when it's small. )

Fruit Parade. Acrylic.
Task was to make a color wheel. :)

Boba Fett doodle painted in Watercolor.
This painting disappeared when I sent it back home, so I have to make a better one anyway.

"The Taunting of the Frog" Analogous color schemed painting. Acyclics.

Now that that's over with, I'll have to stop procrastinating and actually work. Oh man. 5 second long repeating animation and a Gothic Architecture test tomorrow. :(

Our entry for the 24-hour animation challenge. It's beautiful. The theme behind it was Power.

A project done working on 16 millimeter film, about 7 feet or more of it. Used sharpies, hole punches, bleach, exacto knives, and a dash of saliva. We weren't allowed to alter its original speed, so that's why this is such a blur. Tried using Adobe Premiere for the first time and I think it's safe to say I hate it with all my might. The song is by Mix Master Mumf, called Mario Remix.

I miss my pets.

Just kidding

These are old, but this class is stretching into forever.

(I may just find infinity a bit sooner than planned at this rate....)

Callooh, Callay!

2009-03-02T14:06:00.000-08:00

Oh frabjous day!

But not really, because finals are just starting and my teachers are all mad as hatters this quarter.

In light of this, here are my not-so-fabulous character sheets for Nessa and Antimony.

Enjoy! (I swear I'll make some real art someday)

Here's a sharpie doodle that turned out way cooler than I thought it'd be. Oh scrap pieces of bristol board, could you be the key?

Maquette Time!

2009-02-14T22:24:00.000-08:00

So it's been a horrific couple of weeks here at school, my teacher, Gustafson, has been running me into the ground with assignments. graaa. Anyway, here's my maquette I made for his class on characters, layouts, and design. I'll post the character sheets up here too- if I ever find the flash drive they were on. :(

Below you'll find an alarmingly accurate snapshot of my life.

It's been a while!

2009-01-13T16:21:00.000-08:00

One of these days I'll update regularly. Right after I start drawing for fun again. Ha.

A GIRAFFE.

A collection of sketches and doodles

2008-11-29T17:58:00.000-08:00

Yep.

Flour Sack Revisited

2008-11-18T09:34:00.001-08:00

There we go! Final project, added some inbetweens, made it better overall.

From then to now

2008-10-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

Some of the first animations I've done up until the frog, which is below this one. Thank you, lack of chronological order.

Froggy

2008-10-23T12:21:00.000-07:00

He is poorly animated and thus angry about it.

p.s.

i can't ever seem to stop seeing spots.

Trolling through the flashdrive. Characters from a story mostly forgotten. The black image borders are because these were originally part of a flash sideshow. Just ignore them, loves.

the only poem

2008-10-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

i ever really wrote, sounded something like this.

Uncertainty is a crushing blow
To the fragile minds of teenagers
Destined for greatness
Say the teachers.
But to the cruel and hook nosed strangers
Glancing at test scores and grades,
Greatness can be easily mislabeled
As potential, and failure.
And to the bosses
With six digits in their paychecks,
The nervous man holding a resume
In his suit and tie just outside the office door
Is lost and does not belong here.
He is a mistake.
To broken dreams and dying aspirations,
We must cradle fragile memories
Like baby birds in the palm of our hands,
And only focus on keeping them alive,
Lest the jolt of reality hurl us back to Earth,
And snap the necks of immortal memories.

Not feeling so good about this

more random sketches laying around the computer.

welcome to my life.

have a pokemon battle while you wait.

sick

2008-10-20T22:30:00.001-07:00

Sometimes I still get nightmares about those long winter nights back in Vermont and wonder why I miss them so much.

Hoorah!

2008-09-05T22:15:00.000-07:00

These are all the rage if you're trying to really be someone.

Here goes nothing. :)
