4. Fairytales!

Theme: Fairytale with a CAT!
Due Date: Nov. 2nd, 10pm!
So we can look at our work and comment before we go to bed :D

Pick any fairytale of your choice and include a cat somehow! If you don't feel like drawing a whole cat, you can suggest just a hint of a cat. Like its tail showing through door crack or paw prints or anything that might indicate a presence of a cat is fine.

If you do not have enough time, you could try some background concept art (as some of us have been doing already XD) or character design. You could make some illustrations of an important moment like you'd see in a children's book.

I know everyone's been busy, and I'm so happy we are getting our lazy butts to work. It's nice to see all of your artworks :D

3. Miyazaki

Hey guys! Sorry I'm a little late this time..
For this theme I wanted to do something similar to the scene in spirited away where the train is running through the flooded countryside. I looooooove the imagery in that scene, and I tried twice to replicate it, but I wasn't very successful... :( The funny thing is, I think my second attempt was worse than the first.

3. Miyazaki: They're Delicious, You Know.



My tablet was acting up and I couldn't get the opacity to work. But then it looked kinda cool to color it really flat and kind of messy like water color on the sketchy drawing XD

3. Miyazaki Theme


My version of Totoro....lol.......Yeah, I know...doesn't resemble the original one...

I had some elaborate idea to put all major miyazaki characters into one big-ass picture. But I apparently got lazy pushing the third character....so that didn't happen...

Then I tried just doing Mononoke Hime since its my favorite Miyazaki film...But wasn't satisfied with it. I tried coloring it, but apparently I still can't color. And i've run out of time to experiment with it.....I guess I need to work on my art-time management....


EDIT: wow...im looking at this from my desktop....and the colors of these are so different from viewing from my laptop......wow.just wow...lol

3. Miyazaki

Theme: Miyazaki Hayao
Deadline: 10.18.09 (~2 weeks)

I recently watched Miyazaki's latest film, Ponyo. So in honor to his new release, lets have a Miyazaki Theme!

The theme is pretty much self explained. And it is not just restricted to his original characters or settings. You could do a piece on anything that reminds you of his works. You could do a piece on ideas that you thought that could have made his animated releases better. Pretty much anything.

I look forward to seeing whatever you guys come up with.
Have fun! :D

2. When Did This Storm Begin?


ok.....sorry it looks so janky. This is a simple quicky....
hmm not sure how to make the picture look bigger in the post...heh..

This theme was a tad difficult for me...I had a lot of ideas, but I was not sure how to draw them. And apparently couldn't do much w/ my ideas due to lack of time.
I'm sorry Emily that this was submitted past your due date!

(not sure if you could tell, but thats a bottle w/ money in it.......)

And HOW DO YOU DRAW CLOUDS!? Any tips?
Emily, your clouds are SO GORGEOUS! teach meeee.
