When is pumpkin time?

Slam Shuffle- bLiNd

Pumpkin time I'm ready for you.

The frog is Gorf and the witch is Tricky, if anyone wanted to know.

Tried to livestream this, but my computer would lag anytime I'd pick a new color/brush and add a new layer, so it's not the whole process. There's a music playlist though.

Changing Seasons

Last week of this stuff.  Starting some new small projects this week.

Waiting for fall, I want to make another little film.  I hope by the beginning of October time will free up.  Also I want to go to Disneyland, I just really like running around in a sweater while it's slightly chilly and oogling all the Halloween decorations.

Life keeps marching forward.  Amethyst is back to being the lost princess.  See ya around girl, it was fun.
Next week, new stuff!

I like animating

Animating gifs in photoshop is a fun hobby.

DC short again this weekend.  one more next week.

I recorded some of the process.

Sorry there's no sound, it was my first time using livestream.  

Meeting doodles from today.

Cartoons are stupid

Someone on Tumblr asked me about pitching cartoons.  I've only had one pitch amount to anything, so guess that's like winning the lottery?  The chances of it happening again are fairly abysmal.  It seems depressing, but it's more just a check off of the bucket list.

Here's a link to my answer, for those interested.  Aliki liked my answer, and she knows her stuff!  Thanks Aliki!

Dr. Lollipop, from Kelly Martin's upcoming Cartoon Hangover short

This is the last month of Annoying Princess Drawings  

Here's some old stuff, like the kids' say, "Throwback Thursday"

This short re-airs on DC Nation this Saturday.  Or you can go on youtube and watch all of them in full. DC Comics put them all on their channel.

This stuff ties into the pitching theme today!  Here is the quick drawing from the original pitch!

Originally it was pitched in four separate segments, thinking that if I was lucky they'd pick one idea. 

 I like to have at least one sketch for any story idea that's being presented.  Not sure if it's a crutch, but since animation is a visual medium, it probably didn't hurt. 

It ended up being all four were approved, along with coming up with a few more ideas to tie it all together.

Here's some quick sketches trying to figure out designs for storyboard handout.  The process was fast, so the designs were finalized during the storyboard phase.  

 Since the shorts are connected, made a few of these so everyone working on them knew what was going
on.

Here are the finals for this ugly baby.

Comic Con Break

Big Ol' after Comic Con San Diego post

A Kiki commission I finally finished during the convention.  I didn't have a scanner, so took a photo with my phone.  Came out ok.

Hula girl commissions.

Stuff I had at the Womanthology table, really nice of them to let me be part of their table during con.  Nice ladies!

A lot of cool people came by, anyone who picked up a book got a quick sketch of their choice!

There's a few sketch card commissions in here too.

A little girl who wanted a Taffy sketch.

Sketch stickers on the inside of my sketchbooks.  It's now available at www.stuartngbooks.com

Kid wanted her doing something "girly".  Asking what that meant, she wanted Amy reading a story to a cat.   Seems like a healthy habit!

 X-men cake, seen at Heavenly Cupcakes in the gaslamp district.  Phoenix would like Wolverine and Cyclops to please knock it off.

 I picked up the Supergirl from the Pullip booth, and had a nice chat with the guy running it.  He gave me a free Pullip costume book.  THANK YOU! <3

 Mini Australian Shepard service dog looking thru the silver age comic books.  What a good puppy!

 Some dudes while getting the oil changed in my car.

Fun sketches with http://sen1227.tumblr.com/ .  We ate some good pizza, but the restaurant  was really loud and crowded!

This happened to be playing when I walked thru the DC booth.  Looks familiar :)

(of course I can't find the clean final board...)

The fourth Amethyst short airs again this weekend.  Here's some quick sketches I handed to Christie Tseng.  The drawings are kinda poop, but it was just to show some facial expressions.

Kittens are horrible pilots.
