you cow!

This is an illustration I did for a contest held by Jillian Tamaki. The theme was summer myth. I decided to do the Trinidadian myth about Lajabless who was a beautiful woman that would lure men deep into the forest and then kill them. She was also said to be the wife of the devil, so that's why she has a cow leg.

more cards

There I go making cards again.
The top one was for my friend Reene's 21st birthday and I decided to include our whole crew in it. And the one on the bottom was for my dad for father's day.

madeline and cecil

These were my final character designs for 3rd semester,
and this is the little story that I created for them:
Madeline Simons wants to be a famous singer one day, but for now she just performs in
little cafes and nightclubs. One day when Cecil Petit, a 6 year old boy, is walking home
with his mother, he hears Madeline singing in a cafe. He runs to the cafe window and
looks inside to see her and he instantly falls in love. His parents take him to her cafe
performances often and every time he goes he brings a flower for Madeline. They soon
become great friends.

I also made a maquette of Madeline, but sadly I don't have any photos of the finished product.

chinese layout

This was my historical layout from first year.

happy fadda's day

This was the father's day card I made for my grandpa. I made sure to add a bit of trini flavour to the message to make him laugh.

baby

This is the other character that I designed for my sister's documentary. She's a little Ethiopian baby! Isn't she cute?

Here's them together

octopus standoff

'this town ain't big enough for the both of pus'

surrounded by fire

On Victoria day Adam and I went to the park to watch some fireworks. We were surrounded by them because so many families were there celebrating. It was really pretty!

chick habit

This was inspired by the lolita community where there are always girls in pretty dresses doing dainty little poses.

green light

OMG!!!! I'm finally done! I had started this last summer and I just never got around to finishing it till now. With this piece I wanted to try something a little different than what I normally do and I must say that I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

work work work

These are some character designs and layouts that I did for my job!

finals

celebrations

My family always asks me to make cards for them because they know that they'll get it for free and they know that they won't have to go all the way to Wal-Mart to pick one up. So, here are the two most recent ones I have done.

My grandma asked my to make this for one of our family members in Trinidad who is celebrating her 25th year of being a nun.

And this one my parents had asked me to do for my grandma's 80th birthday.
I think I'll start charging soon :p

argyle socks

here's a character that i've been designing for a documentary my sister is making.

and this is one of the flash animations i did this year. i decided to use my trinidadian roots as inspiration which made my family really happy.
it lags a bit towards the end

you're just like your father

this was my final animation for the school year. it was a group project, so naturally i worked with adam. he animated murdoc and i animated russel (the fat one). and the line we used was from harry potter and the order of the phoenix.

pastels

lately i've been playing around with pastels

monkey movie

this is work that i did for my class movie!!! it's basically about a monkey that gets flung around town! chaos naturally ensues. and there's a scientist too! i have no idea how this will turn out, but i really hope that it's good.
so, 2 of my jobs for this movie were to design and create backgrounds and to animate.


this was my interpretation of the exterior of the lab and the town, but both of these were made 100 times better by the other layout artists. because of that i decided to take on all of the interior layouts for the lab. in total i had to do 43 backgrounds!! but most of them were just close ups of what i had already created.



this is a rotation of the room from the middle

and this is 1 of the 6 scenes that i animated. it lags a bit at the end, but hopefully you get the point.
btw i didn't design or build the vulture. credit goes to chewy and barney.
