VaVaVoooooom!

Some ideations for my Flash/115 class.



Hand-drawn type, fresh out of the oven!






"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin' it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know"

Whenever I listen to this song, i can feel the artist living the song, one word at a time. The pettiness, the frustration and indignation, all of it.

This song is just amazing.

Cookie cutter....

I had a surge of Spanish pride. Probably because my main form of ID is my Spanish Passport. Either way, I doodled a drawing of my outfit yesterday and decided to play around on photoshop in homage to two of my favourite spanish artists: Oscar Grillo & Alberto Ruiz. :)



:) Now, off to do more work!

Thumbnails! Thumbnails, everywhere!

The assignment is to design an anthropomorphic character for a children's film/show.

This handsome puppy is based on my dog zorro. :)


This buck is a well-mannered Nanaimo fanatic.

Augusto: the delicious angel!



One of these lucky thumbnails will be the Pawn Shop, and another, if I have time for it, will be Augusto's restaurant.



Seraphs are angels that walk the earth with 6 'wings,' which are souls to deliver. When Isaiah saw his vision, he did not actually see wings, but spirits that were tethered to the angel, being accompanied to heaven. Each angel collects their wings, and after collection, holds onto them until the grim reaper comes to accompany them to through the journey to the afterlife. Both the seraphim and souls are never to return to the mortal world again. Seraphs live as regular every day humans. In the mortal world, souls are kept safe within heirlooms that the angels collect.

A seraph, Augusto, is sent to the mortal world to collect his souls, or earn his 'wings.' During his time there, he collects his wings fairly quickly and grows bored. His friend and landlord is his last soul to collect and when he dies, Augusto decides to take over his restaurant after working there in exchange for a place to live. He is in love with food, and cooking. He runs the restaurant despite his fellow angels being against it, telling him to keep a low profile. When he hears that the reaper is on his way to collect the souls and seraphim that have earned enough wings, he is desperate for a solution to stay longer and up-keep his restaurant which truly makes him happy. Augusto heads to the devil's pawn shop. It is fabled among angels on earth, but it exists. No one could tell Augusto what is to happen if he pawns off a wing or two to the devil. The devil just sits in his pawn shop, waiting for people to come in and unknowingly sell him a soul in the form of beloved heirlooms. What will happen to Augusto?
