Digital painting from my class, the assignment was to create the feeling of "happiness" using an egg and 1 or 2 objects. So, I painted two eggs cuddling under the blankets and waking up to warm light through the windows.

Gouache sketches from my intro gouache painting class. First image is my final painting of three fruits, using broken color.

My first digital painting! A final for my introductory painting class. The assignment was to use three household objects to tell a story. I made a cautionary tale for love potions, using a heart shaped bottle, a spoon, a string of pearls, and a unknown powder…

A short comic I made for one of my assignments in my Storytelling 101 class! I tell the story of my most awkward (and first ever) middle school date. It didn't work out, I found other interests lol. (Yes, everything in this comic actually happened, he did indeed drop all of his coins, I did think of sonic the hedgehog)

Here's my quick paper stop motion practice! I really enjoyed doing this :)

It was so wonderful to animate the first episode of Dad Stories, Aftab Hafeez did an incredible job with the music and sound design! It's a sweet 4 minute short, and a story that I'm sure others will relate to :) Take a look!

A animated doodle of my character June from my WIP animation :) I did the drawing on paper with pen first, then I took a photo and used Procreate to add some tones and do the animated rain.

Alternative outfits.

Coming back to visualizing the question "What is love?"

pitch: A skateboarder falls into an interdimensional portal and discovers these two worlds are colliding. He can save them, but he'll have to journey across an alien world to do it.

I really enjoy character design, especially modern cryptids and other supernatural creatures. I messed around with some new lighting techniques too.
