Pink Dress

Some day I'll have the motivation and the money to wear cute vintage dresses. Dress from: modcloth.

A Thinking Man

I promise all these lumberjack pictures have a purpose. And its not just to fuel my lumberjack fetish... I swear.

Sisters

So over winter break I was working on some artwork for my two younger sisters. The first one is Emily. She's a huge Harry Potter nut so I figured I throw her in some robes. It was also the first time I've seriously worked with Illustrator. I figured I needed some more experience in the program so I used this idea to figure it out. Woo vector images. The first sketch was done in Photoshop.

The there's my incredibly talented beast of a sister. I actually went through two drafts of this and chose the limited color pallet. I think it works in some places... and not so much in others. It was also my first time doing anything remotely comic-like.

Feel free to check out the first draft here if you're curious.

2010

It has been a rollercoaster year like none other. Amazing highs and lows. I'm thankful for all of it, even the mistakes. It's time to learn from them and move on. Here's to 2010!

Below is Glen Faught. He's an incredibly talented matte painter who just made the big move out to California to do some stereo compositing on some big movie or something... Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 maybe? Doubt anyone's heard of that. :) Check out his website here: http://www.glenfaught.com/

Just wanted to say good luck in Cali Glen! I'll miss you so much!

Winter blues setting in. Time to get down to some crafting and other drawing and animation projects.

Fall Quarter 2010

A little caricature practice, the family Christmas card, and my Literature final. Did a ton of animating this quarter but not sure if I'm going to post it. We'll see.

Looking forward to everything I'll be doing during this coming year! My last year of school! Its going to go by fast.

Breakdancer: Headspin from Anna Fleissner on Vimeo.

First time ever inking, coloring, and all that jazz. Pretty proud of this. :D

Color Exercise

Who doesn't love the wild west? Here's a wanted poster of one of my older characters. Below is the painting (Charles Marion Russell, A Bad Hoss) I referenced for my color scheme.

Old artwork of this gal from 2007.

Some details.

Wireframe, smoothing off.

This was my first organic model. It was pretty fun and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm already itching to start another one. :)

Lumberjacks Are Hip

Drawing Things Because I Can

Sometimes I just need to make something for no reason at all. Final week of the quarter. Pretty much done with all my stuff. Blockhead Animation Festival coming up.

I do love fall colors.

Pirates Weren't Made To Dance

Some close-ups.




Wow. This is one of the biggest paintings I've ever done. 47 layers total, the pirate and girl were sketched out and the rest done up in Photoshop. All based off of the song "Dude Whats A Land Pirate?" by The Wonder Years. Don't take a pirate to prom.

Nervous Surgeon

An ethics assignment. My only goal was to spark some conversation about medical malpractice lawsuits, I don't know enough about the issue to take a stance. Happy with the painting though. :)

You should totally just open it in full view.
