SDCC 2017

HI!  It's been awhile!

If you found my old blogger, I very rarely update it.

Please find me and contact me through my website, BrianneDrouhard.com

I post art frequently on my Instagram 

And my ongoing webcomic, updated every Monday Harpy Gee

Here's a run down of what's been going on the past couple of years:

I've been working at Nickelodeon since 2014, drawing storyboards on Pig Goat Banana Cricket, and am currently a storyboard revisionist on the upcoming Glitch Techs tv show.

I decided to take a less busy job, because I'm also directing an animated short/pilot at Nickelodeon for something new.  Maybe I'll get to share it, maybe not, but it's been a great experience and the past year has been exciting and positive!

I also finished a five issue run drawing Mega Princess, written by Kelly Thompson.  The trade will be out this August, and it's a really adorable story about a sister solving the mystery of her missing brother, with the help of her talking pony!  You can order Mega Princess HERE

San Diego Comic Con is this week, I won't be there but my books will be!  Stuart Ng Books will have all THREE Harpy Gee books available, signed! If you want a book and can't make it to the show, you can order them HERE. StuartNgBooks.com 

I'm still busy making the Harpy Gee webcomic, it's really a labor of love at this point.  Currently I'm about half way through drawing Chapter Four.  I never thought I'd be drawing it the past three years, and I've been over the moon being able to share the characters and their story.  The response has been positive, and I look forward to posting a new update every Monday.  Everyone has been so kind.

Last but not least, Skippy, my kitty and one of the first posts on this blog, passed away last January.  I miss him terribly.  I got him after moving into my first apartment and working my first tv animation job. He was a very good artist assistant and gave the best arm hugs. He was such a good kitty and friend.  

Until next time Blogger.  💚

August

Hey it's August. I'm still alive.   Been storyboarding, went to SDCC. If anyone would like one of the black and white Harpy Gee books, stuartngbooks.com has a few. Harpy started backup yesterday.  A few kind friends drew guest comics for me the past month.  There maybe a few more in the future! Here are some of the gifs I used for the video, and a big spoiler page at the bottom.

San Diego Comic Con 2014 Schedule

Here's my schedule for San Diego Comic Con 2014!

Saturday:

3:30-7:00 pm Womanthology table #EE-4 in Artist Alley

Sunday:

10:00am, VIZ Booth, Hello Kitty signing  

1:30-5:00pm Womanthology table #EE-4 in Artist Alley

I will have a few sketch cards, prints, stickers, and Harpy books.  I cannot accept commissions before or during the con this year.

Stuart Ng will be carrying some Harpy books, since I will not be able to attend the con Thursday or Friday.  Anything he has left will probably end up in his online store.

This book is black and white inside, and covers up to when Goldie first appears.  The back of the book will include a signed original sketch.  If you miss out on this book, no worries!  I'm planning to print a larger book late fall, in color.  This one is a last minute item so I'd have something at SDCC.

If there are any changes to my schedule, I'll update this post.

Harpy is going on a mini break the next three weeks.  There will be three new guest comics in the mean time, starting tonight.  Please check them out, they're going to be amazing!

Finally went ahead and replaced my scanner.  

A few people over the years have asked what type of scanner I use.  Here's what I know so far:

After some research, it seems the quality of a stand alone scanner is better than getting a printer/scanner combo.  The few of those I've used, I've noticed that subtler colors, such as pinks, have a hard time showing up in scans.

Decided to stick with the Epson series, I've been fairly pleased with how my older one worked, I've had it since 2004, and it does still work, although with every computer update I have to finagle it.

New Epson Perfection v370 on the left, old Epson Perfection 2580 on the right. Not a huge difference, but the left is closer to the original, and it picked up the paper texture.

July Catch Up!

I've been really busy, and let the ol' blog hibernate for too long.

I'm not even going to attempt posting all the art from the past month, but here's a start.

This Monday's Harpy update is here.

updates at midnight.

A little turtle blanket party, for the TMNT show at Gallery Nucleus this week.

The nice folks over at Comics Alliance interviewed me about working on the Amethyst shorts.

I'm going to be at Comic Con this year.  I'll be signing at Viz's booth Sunday morning.  Still getting all my ducks in a row, and will post my schedule soon!  

Have a happy summer!

SDCC 2013 *Update!

I'm going to be helping out at the Womanthology booth at Comic Con San Diego!

Booth # HH-03

My schedule is:

Friday: 9:30-11:30am

Saturday: 9:30-1:30pm

Sunday: 3:30-5:00pm

I will have left over sketchcards for sale, and will sign Womanthology or any of my books brought to the table.  I won't have many copies of my sketchbook... but Stuart Ng's booth #5012 close by will!

I might be hanging out at Tr!ckster once in awhile, so watch my twitter during the convention to see where I'll be.

I will not be taking any commissions during the con.  Sorry!

Stay cool at con, drink lots of water and please wear deodorant!

I’ll have a sketchbook available at SDCC!

8x8 28 pgs full color

It’ll probably run $25, and be availble at www.stuartngbooks.com and at Tr!ckster outside the convention center!

Sorry it’s kind of expensive, printing was a bit nuts this year.  I’m going to try to include an original sketch in them.

Also,  I can’t reserve, or personally mail copies out. After the con it’s likely Stuart and Tr!ckster may have copies online.

This weekend Beware the Batman premieres!  I had friends who worked on it, so give it a chance!  And there's going to be a really cool Wonder Woman short!!

The first Amethyst short is also re-airing, which is kind of neat since in the old comics Wonder Woman was someone she looked up too.

Last week, my little brother got married!  I didn't have a lot of time to pack, and forgot my camera, but the wedding planner took some wonderful photos.  She's awesome!  

http://www.alisasgarden.com/2012/06/weekend-wedding.html

I did draw my brother's wedding invite, but never checked with him if I could post it.  He is a shy one.

This past weekend, I drew mindlessly, got an oil change on my car finally, and dropped off sketchbooks at Stuart Ng for San Diego Comic Con.  I drew a sketch sticker in each one.  :)  

Next week's post will be for SDCC.

Been stressed out about the dumbest things, but I guess if no one else is worried, then I won't either.

It's been awhile since I've felt comfortable to just sketch.  There is always something important I should be drawing, or fixing, and that doesn't leave much time for brain wandering.  Then drawing becomes a chore, and a job.  

Luckily, it's getting back to normal.  Time to start figuring out another book.

Oh, and this song has been on repeat alllllll month!  

Lol, someone started a petition to try to get an Amethyst tv show.  Thanks awesome random person!

Amethyst of Gemworld tv show!
