Puddin'

On today's menu is a Harley Quinn. Yay! I had a lot of fun drawing with friends today. It was something I needed.

Big City Travel Poster

It's not quite midnight yet so I guess that means I've made 2 posts in one day. What is this madness?!

Anyway, I was inspired by the old Disneyland attraction posters for the Monorail and People Mover. It's really obvious so I don't know why I'm bothering even mentioning it. Big City is one of the towns in Pomland and home to Pom Choco, the greatest Pomeranian inventor and scientist to ever live. His interests include straws. Lots of straws.

She's My Spooky Girl

I remember being really proud of the above image when I made it way back in 2010. It was when I was really getting a hang of Illustrator and still transitioning from traditional artist to digital. It was something I created somewhat quickly, but still managed to make cute.

Fast forward to 2013 and I've revisited the same Hime Gyaru vampire. She has hands now instead of nubs. Isn't that great? She can now open things by herself. Her hair also isn't a blob with random highlights thrown in.

She's even got a gal pal. I think I like her more, to be honest. I think she was a college co-ed in the 60s who died from choking on marshmallows. She looks the type.

Of course they weren't always undead. Here are some recolored and somewhat modified human versions. I don't know if it's because we're getting closer to Halloween or it's the influence of listening to The Ghastly Ones a lot more lately (which again, might be because of the approaching Halloween season), but I'm really enjoying drawing stuff like this right now. I don't think I'll be coming up with a whole line of cutesy girls for every kind of monster or supernatural entity, since that's a little bit too Monster High for me, but I will probably make one more to round out the group.

I'm Back!

It's been over two years since my last post. In that time I worked my first industry job, got my own apartment and learned that I kind of suck at building shelves. I just thought I'd whip something up to commemorate me coming back. I'll try to update regularly, depending if my internet sucks less than my shelves.

What a nightmare!

New Hire - 2D Flash Nightmare Segment from Jenn Pereda on Vimeo.

This is the 2D segment from a class project called "New Hire." I was in charge of the Flash department which consisted of AJ Velasco, Quynh Chau, Pakie Seung, Steve Jennings and myself.

Dinosaaaaaar

I made a T-rex.
I always forget how much I hate drawing them, but I quickly remember after a few seconds.
I like his tiny eyes.

He was made in Illustrator for AI's Mascot design contest. Yup.

Look at this loser

This is Frank. He is not a robot.
He was built in Adobe Illustrator and will be animated in Flash.
