My final comic for my Advanced Sequential class - a graphic novel interpretation of "The Little Jesus", one of the short stories from my favorite play, <i>The Pillowman </i>by Martin McDonagh. I always imagined if I were to direct an interpretation of <i>The Pillowman</i>, I'd have each story as its own little animation...but that's something for future me to think about.<br />
And yes, this is technically still a work in progress. I want to reink this (with a bit more character to the lines - I wanted to go for a dark fairytale/Edward Gorey ink style) and recolor it. The comic is the product of 4 weeks of work, the last week of which was spent coloring all twelve panels in the time it took my thesis animation to render. I finalized twelve comic pages and a 4 and a half minute animation in one night...I'd call that a success.<br />

Hello everyone! I am officially a college grad. Summa cum laude and a full-time job already, yay!<br />
So now I finally have a little bit of time to update everything, before everything else gets underway. And my first order of business, by popular demand, is to get some comics online.<br />
This is <i>Exit Interview</i>, my graphic novel interpretation of a flash fiction piece by <a href="http://danielboshea.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Dan O'Shea</a>. The original story, along with many more of his dark and hilarious stories, can be found in his book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Old-School-ebook/dp/B007AWZDWG/ref=sr_1_5?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1329762094&sr=1-5#_" target="_blank"><u>Old School</u></a> (which you can purchase as a digital copy through that link). I was lucky enough to read most of them for this assignment, and let me tell you, it was difficult picking just one to illustrate. And I still want to do Thin Mints, at some point.Kat Machttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06497370837598874363noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3484164103572101913.post-55403805372554706122011-11-13T12:17:00.001-05:002011-11-13T12:19:52.377-05:00Illustration - Bad Dog Lineup<div style="text-align: center;">The final lineup!

Well, that turned into a full-blown, 47 page screenplay (wherein the little girl Linda lives with nuns and attempts to kill the dog "that killed her mom"). I'm very proud of the story and the screenplay, but I felt like the characters could use some updating. I spent my Advanced Character Design class recreating them, with some great results.<br /><br />Linda<br />The main character from the story. She's an eight-year-old girl who loses her mother to a serial killer in the town, and Linda believes that this killer is actually a stray dog she's run into. The nuns take the orphaned girl in, and after recruiting another girl, Linda sets out to kill the monster that took away her mother. The screenplay is essentially her coming-of-age story.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2tVEPF-VMSM/Tr_yRp_NPVI/AAAAAAAAAcM/dH3I05dj-PE/s1600/MID_Lindasketches.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2tVEPF-VMSM/Tr_yRp_NPVI/AAAAAAAAAcM/dH3I05dj-PE/s320/MID_Lindasketches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674520440652774738" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G4sVm4JtaXs/Tr_yRE0C2DI/AAAAAAAAAb0/EuDMLU6i7cM/s1600/MID_Lindacolorstudies.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G4sVm4JtaXs/Tr_yRE0C2DI/AAAAAAAAAb0/EuDMLU6i7cM/s320/MID_Lindacolorstudies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674520430673844274" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rq6f0WVWs-Q/Tr_zc3N1JMI/AAAAAAAAAck/o-9ED5_vw8o/s1600/Lindaredo.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 152px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rq6f0WVWs-Q/Tr_zc3N1JMI/AAAAAAAAAck/o-9ED5_vw8o/s320/Lindaredo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674521732693959874" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Becky<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is one of the only characters who did not appear in the original comic.

I have a job doing all of the art for an iPhone game that should be coming out this fall. I've also been writing and trying to sleep before school starts.<br /><br />Anyway, my friend Matt Smith started this publication at MICA called The Rooster, and he generously let me publish one of my writing pieces in it. It's a short memoir about my best friend Kirsten (aka Kurse) and our adventures in 7th grade. Anyway, when he asked if I had a little illustration to go along with it, I couldn't help whipping this up.<br />I was sort of inspired by playing cards (but then again, when am I not?), and it also has a lot to do with the themes of my memoir. Also, still figuring out people in my style...bear with me.<br />Done in Photoshop.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/TF3PUUTgzsI/AAAAAAAAAOw/vwJV1P36GeQ/s1600/ILLkurse1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/TF3PUUTgzsI/AAAAAAAAAOw/vwJV1P36GeQ/s320/ILLkurse1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502782267671498434" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/TF3PUqvhiHI/AAAAAAAAAO4/Q_yT3WgVOp4/s1600/ILLkurse2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/TF3PUqvhiHI/AAAAAAAAAO4/Q_yT3WgVOp4/s320/ILLkurse2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502782273694566514" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now back to work.Kat Machttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06497370837598874363noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3484164103572101913.post-24925048404879842322010-05-16T15:38:00.000-04:002010-05-16T16:07:10.895-04:00Animation - The Orchard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO2H08DqI/AAAAAAAAAOo/O3EcOdgLxoc/s1600/orchard1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO2H08DqI/AAAAAAAAAOo/O3EcOdgLxoc/s320/orchard1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471960238976143010" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO16Zqm0I/AAAAAAAAAOg/i4rTyVSKk78/s1600/orchard2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO16Zqm0I/AAAAAAAAAOg/i4rTyVSKk78/s320/orchard2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471960235372092226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO1j80YfI/AAAAAAAAAOY/vdzxLLC0EZk/s1600/girlandtree3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BO1j80YfI/AAAAAAAAAOY/vdzxLLC0EZk/s320/girlandtree3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471960229345518066" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BONN22LeI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/KZYGakwZuEQ/s1600/girlandtree2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BONN22LeI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/KZYGakwZuEQ/s320/girlandtree2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471959536220122594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOL52TVWI/AAAAAAAAANw/QfiB-lQixRE/s1600/girl1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOL52TVWI/AAAAAAAAANw/QfiB-lQixRE/s320/girl1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471959513669260642" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOM7CDsHI/AAAAAAAAAOI/8CgLhzTU9Rk/s1600/girlandtree1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOM7CDsHI/AAAAAAAAAOI/8CgLhzTU9Rk/s320/girlandtree1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471959531166871666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOMBqbEAI/AAAAAAAAAN4/3OdGdtu_574/s1600/girl2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOMBqbEAI/AAAAAAAAAN4/3OdGdtu_574/s320/girl2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471959515766919170" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOMmMDZII/AAAAAAAAAOA/Cg1wn7M1NQM/s1600/girl3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9YV1kJ3Wtl0/S_BOMmMDZII/AAAAAAAAAOA/Cg1wn7M1NQM/s320/girl3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471959525571650690" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My final for Introduction to 3D, a little animation called "The Orchard".

I'm currently writing a short "ghost story" about a single father and his daughter's imaginary friend. I originally wrote this story two years ago, under the title "The Red Tree". Now, I'm revisiting and rewriting it.<br /><br />This scene will not be in the final story, but it does begin my characterization of Vincent and Annie.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Only last week he had taken Annie down to the quarry to escape the heat. It had been a record-breaking September, and the heat wave that swept through the city felt more appropriate for fireworks and grilling hot dogs than the falling leaves that surrounded them. The quarry was thirteen blocks from their neighborhood, nestled within the suburbs just beyond the city limits. They packed light and set off just before noon.<br /> By midday, the sun had already spent several hours roasting the city. Warmth radiated off the sidewalk and every surface touched by sunlight. The windows of buildings appeared as sheets of light, and the distant skyscrapers downtown sizzled like strips of bacon on the horizon. Vincent’s clothes seemed leaden, dragging him down in the swampy air. It was only the thought of icy quarry water that kept him going. Brushing the perspiration from his eyes, he glanced down at his daughter. Annie had thrown on an ill-fitting T-shirt and shorts over her swimsuit, and even in these she was over-heating. Her swimsuit grew sticky with sweat, and every few steps she let go of Vincent’s hand to tug uncomfortably at her sleeves.<br /> Within ten minutes of leaving the apartment building, they came upon First Street. With a smile, Vincent reminded his daughter that they’d be back her next week, but the humidity seemed to strangle his words from his throat.<br /> Annie looked up at her father curiously, and then back across the street. The older kids had already been in school for a month. They were studying away, tucked away in air-conditioned brick boxes behind a wiry grey fence. The grounds were void of life, a great asphalt slab frying silently in the sun.<br /> Vincent felt a tug, and realized his daughter had stopped in her tracks. He stopped too, and followed her gaze back to the school playground. He saw the familiar shapes of monkey bars and swing sets vibrating in the haze, but noticed that his daughter’s eyes had fallen on something else.<br />In the midst of the bleak asphalt, a single oak stood proud. It was enormous, far larger in girth and height than any of the street-corner twigs. The tree towered a full foot over the nearest building, with thick branches sprawling like hair down to the rooftops. Its leave stood sharp, sweet greens turning a sickly red against the backdrop of brick and black tar. As cars whistled by and people turned up their fans, this arboreal monster managed the heat without complaint, frozen, watchful.<br />“I want to climb it, Daddy!”<br />Vincent looked back down at Annie. She bobbled up and down with excitement.<br />“No, Annie,” he said, “That’s dangerous.”<br />She stopped bobbling, and looked back at the tree.<br />“No it isn’t. I did it all the time at Aunt Peggy’s.”<br />“Aunt Peggy’s is different, Annie. You don’t have your cousins to help you get up there.”<br />“I didn’t need them, Daddy! You didn’t see me last time. I got up there all by myself.”<br />“Good for you, Annie. But that doesn’t mean you could climb this one.”<br />“Why not?”<br />“That’s a lot bigger than Aunt Peggy’s trees.”<br />“No it’s not.”<br />Exasperation took hold. “Yes, it is. Besides,” he pointed to the thick trunk, “the branches aren’t low enough.”<br />Annie looked back at the tree. She had his words in mind, and Vincent knew she was standing there, doing rudimentary calculations in the sun.<br />She looked back at him, turning her head with an air of confidence and finality.<br />“They’re plenty low, Daddy. I could do it easy.”<br />She smiled and started to swing her arms back and forth, assured of her victory. Vincent shook his head. He had run out of ammo.<br />“It’s too dangerous,” he repeated, “You could get hurt.”<br />Her arms began to swing slower. Annie hesitated.<br />“I think Mommy would let me climb the tree.”<br />Her words stabbed, and caught him completely off-guard. Of course, she didn’t realize the gravity of what she’d said. Annie just pulled something from her arsenal, something she knew would push Daddy’s buttons. His face betrayed him for only a moment. He caught himself, smiled, and pulled her back on to the sidewalk.<br />“Come on,” he said, as if nothing had happened, “We want to get there before the afternoon rush.”</span>Kat Machttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06497370837598874363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3484164103572101913.post-83368410686455247902010-04-13T20:31:00.000-04:002010-04-13T23:25:48.985-04:00Illustration - Bad Dog<div style="text-align: center;">In addition to being an illustrator and animator, I am also a writer.
