Polish Father's Day!

Today is Polish Father's day! So I drew this card (my sister composed the text) for my Dad!

Needless to say, my Dad is a huge World Cup fan - an interest we have in common.

The card basically says - RELAX more! Advice that my Dad, crazy environmentalist who must fight to save the world, needs!

Love him lots! Best Dad ever!

Animation Banshee Loop

Well, instead of doing everything I should be doing, instead I spent the entire day (went by so quick) animating this fun looped animation of my Banshee character. I want to turn this into an animated short one day! :) When I have time...

Animated as always in Flash. The background is Secret of Kells/Samurai Jack inspired!

Some stills:

Character Design - Banshee - Expression Sheet

Wow it's been a while since I posted! I've been working hard on some animation exercises on paper, that are not done yet, so there was not much to post.

I'm working on a new character design which I doodled while I thought of my Witcher character. In one of the stories, the Witcher meets a Banshee, hiding out in the form of a very pretty dark-haired girl, with pale skin. So I decided to design that character.

I really want to animate her!

Here she is!

And here are the first rough sketchbook doodles done in marker which contributed to her creation:

Pinups - Zarrin

Happy birthday to my "big sister" Zarrin! We had a lovely time with the entire extended family for her birthday - and as my present I drew this sexy lady this pinup!

Cafe Sketches - Bike Pirates

What do you do when you have over 3 hours to kill at Bike Pirates waiting to fix your wheel? You start on your new quest to get better at Cafe Sketches! I had a resolution - I went out, bought a pen, some brush markers, and decided - today is THE day! The day I start working on my shitty cafe sketches!

Side note - thank you Professor Thurman for making me get upset that the Bike Pirates' logo skeleton has two humerus bones... yah...

Alice is featured! :D

Yay! Today I found that my "Alice" Short got featured on Cold Hard Flash:

Mother's Day Card!

This is a card that I drew for my Mom on Mother's day! The content was created by my very creative sister, and partner in crime, Iwa.

For those who do not speak the Polish tongue, top part says:
Delicate as a flower....
Bottom part:
... admittedly she is not, but we love her just that way!
Very bottom:
To our beloved Small Angry One, all the best on Mother's Day!

Our dear Mamciu seemed to have really liked it! A Mother's Day win!
