The Pick-Up Princess--Character Sheet 2

Another update! Here is the character sheet for Princess's Mom. 

As far as production is going: right now I am in the clean-up and coloring stage. Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet the Easter deadline that I had hoped to meet six months ago (every production has it's hiccups), but I'm nearing the home stretch! 

With luck,  I'll have some screen shots of a few fully finished scenes next week. Stay tuned! 

Princess's Mom is caring but can only handle her daughters mess for so long. It is her parental duty to teach Princess to manage her things, lest they take over completely!

The Pick-Up Princess--Character Sheet 1

For the past six months I have been working on an animated children's e-book called The Pick-Up Princess. The project has been pretty hush-hush for the most part, but I just got the ok from my editor to start posting some sneak peeks and updates! My hope is to keep the updates coming each week, so stop in to see what's new. 

Here's the basic story: A little girl finds creative ways to avoid cleaning her room. 

Princess Character Sheet 

Princess is your average little girl with no desire to clean her room. She is fun, energetic, and a bit of a klutz. She's sweet, but she feels she has better things to do than pick up.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Another Screen Design assignment. The dialogue is taken from the radio broadcast of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. 

Something Living in the Subway

An assignment for my Screen Design class.

This is how cutting down my story for the final portfolio feels...

I understand the need to edit and shorten work to meet the needs of professors or editors, but taking a well sharpened machete to your baby can be a bit of a difficult experience for anyone. It's messy, there are fragmented limbs everywhere, and it only ever ends with you shivering in a corner, your manuscript clutched between your bloody fingers, contemplating the morality of what you have just done. Over all, not a pleasant experience, even if it is a necessary one.
