Steampunk Girl

Yay, my first steampunk character!  This was a lot of fun to draw.  For those of you who don't already know, steampunk is a genre of sci-fi/fantasy that basically is a mix of victorian era fashion/world with steam-powered anachronistic technology.  It's pretty awesome.  Some examples of steampunk include Treasure Planet (Disney movie), Howl's Moving Castle (Miyazaki film), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic and movie), literature by Jules Verne and lots of other great fiction. :)

Anyway, I plan on adding some color to this pic in a few days.

Druidess


Well here is my first of the summer posts.  This is a quick painting of a sketch I did my freshmen year of college.  I ran out of time and so had fun with the fairy dust brush from Painter.

Junior Project Stills


Here are some still shots from my Junior Project.  I was on a group of four people.  Our short film was called "The Stalker Story."  Rachel Wonderlin was the project leader and took the lead on Story and Cameras.  Sarah Kryznowek was in charge of textures and lighting.  My husband, Jake Knight, was lead modeler, rigger, and animator.  And I was lead design, I made all the cut-outs and I was the render wrangler.

Fisti-Cuffs: Bad Loaf


Here are my final versions of my superhero card.  The Fisti-Cuffs-style showdown is tonight against the other class.  I don't personally like the layout for the front of the card but my class went with a common layout and this was it.  I did not draw the Team Bortz logo.  Perhaps if I have time I'll make my own version later.  If you can't read the words, you should be able to click on it for a larger image.

*Also the quote on the front is an actual movie quote.  Can anyone name the movie?
