Hey Guys!

I've messed around a bit with the layout so that you can see my Twitter updates and my YouTube channel. Both will be pretty important this year if you'd like to follow my progress through my 2nd year at CalArts in character animation. Due to the lack of time to scan things during the year, as mentioned previously there will be more photos taken from my phone and uploaded to my Twitter page. It will be extremely efficient to be able to post quick updates without leaving my cube, so the majority of picture updates(almost daily) will take place there.

Along with this, I'm very excited to say that I will be making weekly video blog updates on my YouTube channel concerning my experiences at CalArts. Follow me on my YouTube channel to see those updates, which I will also be posting here. Talk will include subjects ranging from daily assignments, to film progress, to saying who the visiting artist will be. And don't forget ramblings- it tends to happen when you're up until 4am every night animating. The blog is basically to show what people who are looking into CalArts can expect if they choose to go here.

That is all for now. =)

Twitter Account

Hey guys!

I've recently been promoting my Twitter account, if anybody would be interested in following:

http://twitter.com/MissMelissVDP

You'll be getting random updates including doodles, movie info, and stuff that I think is just flat out cool. The thing I'm most excited about is the doodles thing though, since they'll be preliminary sketches to something I'll scan in the future, random snapshots of animation, etc. Basically stuff you would never see otherwise because I don't have the time to scan.

So if you're interested, follow me there. =)

The Legend of Pilgrim

I ACTUALLY DREW THIS ONE I PROMISE. =O

Characters copyright Bryan Lee O'Malley.

Hobo Sketches

Final film idea. These are variations of his face and a couple body sketches.

Stegosaurus

Wizard of Oz Booth

Today was the dress rehearsal for the a local Wizard if Oz production I will be selling prints at. For the next two weeks I'll be spending my nights at this booth taking orders and handing out cards.

8x10 prints on photo paper will be $12.

After doing all of these prints, the Scarecrow print is still my favorite. Here's a little sketch I did of him while sitting at the booth.

Scott Pilgrim

I CANNOT WAIT.

Such an interesting post I know. XD But Scott Pilgrim is quite amazing I must say. Maybe I'll doodle him a  bit.

I did not draw the awesomeness above. That would be mister Bryan Lee O'Malley.
