Sobek, The Kane Chronicles

Nicola, our Animation blogger, shares with us a beautiful illustration that she has been working on in one of her courses. Based off of a page in a children’s book, Nicola shares her process, along with some sketches as well. #MarywoodArt #Animation

Our current project in my Illustration II class is to illustrate a page from a random book. The professor had us pull the page from a bag, so we didn’t get to see what we were picking. Coincidentally, the page I pulled was from a series I read as a kid, called The Kane Chronicles. The author is Rick Riordan, the same author who wrote Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I don’t think I ever finished…

Odd Interests

If you're a fan of odd interests like ARGs and other internet oddities, you'll love reading this week's blog post by Mila, our On Campus Art News blogger. Dive with Mila into the world of Analog Horror, a sub-genre of horror fiction & found footage film.

For a long time I’ve been invested into internet oddities ranging from group writing projects such as the SCP Foundation to more obscure media like alternate reality games, commonly referred to as ARGs. Within the past several years I’ve become enamored with analog horror. Analog horror can be described as storytelling typically through the means of 1960s-1990s technology. Think of it as an…

Lost Boy

This week, our Art Therapy blogger, Victoria, shares some of the fan art that she created based off of Batman! She chose a specific character, Jason Todd, and created an illustration inspired by this character. Check it out! #MarywoodArt

The entirety of my winter break consisted of me playing the Arkham Batman series on XBox during my free time. I’ve always enjoyed watching superhero movies, Batman being no exception with the Christopher Nolan trilogy, the recent The Batman film featuring Robert Pattinson, and the DC animated universe movies. I’ve seen gameplay, commentary, and reviews for the Arkham series which convinced me to…

Birthday Cake

Nicola, our Animation blogger, also likes to bake so in addition to baking something delicious and beautiful, she also decided to draw a slice. Check out her illustration with colorful whipped cream in "Birthday Cake" #MarywoodArt #Illustration #Animation

For my birthday, my sister and I made a brownie chocolate cheesecake—recipe here by Cooking Tree—and I thought I might as well draw it too. So, here is a cake I baked. I finished drawing it before I actually saw the finished cake, so I had to anticipate what it would look like. It has a pretty simple appearance, so that wasn’t too hard. My first plan was to draw the whole cake, but since it is…

Little Idle Animation

I did a bit of work on a walk cycle and an idle animation, both for a small game I’ve been trying to make gradual progress on. The first, the walk cycle, was already sketched out. I just wanted to neaten it up and add color, which, although tedious, made it feel like it’s beginning to come together. While I was doing the lineart, I tried to correct inconsistencies. I wasn’t super thorough, but…

Rough Walk Cycle

Nicola, our animation blogger, is making excellent progress developing characters for her video game. This week she sketched a new walk cycle animation and offers three tips for new animators attempting to do the same #MarywoodArt #Animation #illustration

Continuing to work on the video game I’m making, I sketched both a walk cycle animation, which will be one of the animations that plays as the player moves, and an idle animation, which (so far) is just breathing. I’ve tried a few walk cycles before, but only simple ones, like this one here. It’s made up of eight frames, four for each opposing leg. I would have had no idea how to approach this…
