Food Bender

My friend Summer Schott of sugarandspicepastries.com is a pastry chef. Well, as a matter of fact there's nothing she can't cook magnificently well. At some point she mentioned that she loved Avatar: The Last Airbender and that if anything she considered herself a food bender. This of course translated literally in my head.

The fact Summer is very motherly brought Katara directly to mind, and this is how I'm convinced Summer puts icing on cakes.

Playing with a new drawing program

Playing with a new drawing program.... I think I love it! This is my friend Cherries' dog Caska. The title should be "I don't need legs, my mommy will carry me."

The program is SAI and I had a lot of fun with it. I think I'll keep using it regularly.

I make things sometimes, to make myself happy.

When I make things, generally I give them away... I was going for cute with this guy... I was afraid he was creepier than cute, but I think cute won!

Progress on thesis

The main character in my thesis is supposed to be a young boy from central or south America, although his nationality is less important than his experiences. I have planned that his general look, instead of looking like a particular child, should be more generic. So I've opted to make him look stylized, more like a painted toy than anything else.

I will add on the other characters as I get them done, and I will add screen shots of his texture, color and effects.

Character Design for Thesis

2D Animation

This piece was made in an attempt to make a close up representation of 3 emotions. The character goes through, or I tried to make the character go through: Romantic interest, surprise and anger. Critiques welcome.
