Comic Page Test

Another Manga Studio Pro test for inking and style choice for my comic. The nice thing is that I can switch back and forth between Photoshop and Manga Studio when I want to color or add effects to my drawings.

AOI Test

I had the need for sparkles and blurs when I was testing out Manga Studio EX5. The inking compatibility in this program is awesome! So good :)

Poet Anderson

The other day I watched the short, "Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker," and it is AWESOME!!! It's so gorgeous and it gave me a ton of animation feels. The last time something like that happened was when I was watching Paperman and The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. Fantastic animation, look, and just gorgeous to look at. Go buy it on itunes!

Angry Isaac

 End of the day sketches of my character Isaac. I wanted to practice with his posing and showing what he looks like with a hair cut and clean shaven. He's been a fun character to design and develop :)

Gerard

Sketches of my new character, Gerard for my webcomic, AOI. I wanted to practice more posing and expressions since I need practice, especially for my storyboards. Enjoy!

Ramen Book Sample

Sample preview of my ramen book that I'm planning on making throughout 2015 and selling at CTN 2015.  I am planning on making a book centered around my love for ramen and my adventures with my boyfriend, family, and friends getting ramen.  It's a little slice of life, and sort of a food journal in a way. Enjoy!

Space Explorers

End of the day sketches of some scifi people. These have been fun since I'm finally trying to push myself design-wise.

CTN draws

Selection of some of my favorite figure drawings from CTN today. I haven't done gesture drawing in over a year, so it was nice to get back into the swing of things :)

Space Designs

Really trying to push myself in terms of design when I draw, so that when I board I can do the same when I break down a character in a sketch for drawing them quickly in board form.  I love scifi and I might make a book for next year's CTN for funsies since I've found that other people love scifi as much as I do. 

CTN 2014!!!

Hey guys! So today I'll be a headin to CTN for the third time. Can't wait to see some of ya there!!!! Also I'll be by the Motivarti booth today helping out if ya want to say hi :D
