An Ordinary Princess: A Webcomic

Hello internet world! After much thought, time, and planning, I’ve decided to start a webcomic! It will officially launch on February 28th at 9am pst. It will update once weekly on Friday mornings. This has been in the works for about 3 years, and is truly a labor of love!

I hope you check it out! I’m really excited about it!

An Ordinary Beginning

Page one of An Ordinary Princess! This has been so much fun to work on. Hopefully one day it will become a full, finished story. For now though, I have 20 pages (that I am quite proud) of done and ready to be shown off. I hope you enjoy page one!

Inked Cover

So here is my inked version of one of my covers from the last post! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Guys, inking is FUN! I sure wish we did more of it as part of our curriculum... I did the people entirely with brush, then used a quill and ruler for the lines in the background.

Jael, Takes 2 and 3

So here is the second and third take for my Jael story in Vis 2. I also added the two covers I designed for the story. I will be inking one and a classmate (don't know who yet!) will be inking the other. I'm both excited and nervous, because I'll have to ink someone else's cover design! Aaah!

Jael Script, Take 1

In Visual Storytelling 2, we are required to come up with a 4-page script. Then over the course of the next ten weeks, we redraw it 3 or 4 times, 3 or 4 completely different ways. So here's my story, taken from Judges 4, take 1.

Now on to another try!

Fall Finals

Well, this wonderful quarter has met its bitter end. All my projects have been completed and submitted. It really has been a great quarter. I've learned an incredible amount, and I feel that I've improved a lot. I'm excited to see what next quarter will bring!

Here are some of the lovely art things I've done for my classes.

Visual Storytelling 1
      We were given a loose script to work off of. It involved us waking up in the middle of the night, choosing a weapon, and finding something outside our door.

Speed Sketching:
     Two pages based on a script we were given in class.

Digital Coloring:
     For midterm and final we were required to color 4 pages (so 8 total). I chose to color a few of my own pieces.

Babysitting Mishaps

A lot of crazy things have happened to me when I babysit. So, when assigned a 2-page memoir project for class, it seemed only natural to choose from one of my many incidents. So here is a little gem of an incident that occurred a few years ago, via comic format. I think it's pretty readable without the word balloons. What do you think?

Some Comic Stuff

Here are a couple of the projects I've been working on in my Visual Storytelling class. Both are based on scripts given to us in class.

 This is a Batman page from Gotham by Gaslight, inked.

 Pencils for Bartman, page 3 of script.

  Pencils for Bartman, page 4 of script.

  Pencils for Bartman, page 5 of script. The dramatic conclusion! (sort of)

Chickasaw ADVENTURES!

Here is my first assignment for Visual Storytelling 1. We were given a script that we had to thumbnail out, then we were all assigned 3 pages from the script. From there, we made tight roughs, then finished pencils.

Thumbnails pages 9-12

 Tight Rough page 10

 Tight Rough page 11

 Tight Rough page 12

 Finished pencils page 10

 Finished pencils page 11

 Finished pencils page 12

These pages underwent a bit of change from beginning to end. I'm fairly happy with the end result. Now on to assignment 2!

What have I been up to?

As I'm sure many of you students know, summer is upon us. (At least, that's what the calendar says. Washington state is the only tiny area in the whole continental U.S. not seeing the sunshine right now.) Since I got home on break, I've been working a bit on a personal project. My goal is to brush up on my comic skills before I head into the last quarter of my junior year. So, here are the first ten pages in a looong story. Someday I hope to color these pages. We'll see what the future holds. Sorry for the poor image quality and illegible handwriting; I don't have a scanner big enough for the pages.
