CompTIA's holiday greeting

Over at 1/29, a client recently came to us asking for a sweet and sincere holiday greeting card.

Ask.com's End of Year Round-up

We've been busy over at 1/29.

We recently completed this funny little piece for Ask.com



Julian dealt with timing, editing, etc, while I got to focus on the fun parts- like making Kim Kardashian drool.

Fanciful Animals

A series I'm doing for my sister. We were joking around while trying to decide how to decorate her walls, and she mentioned wanting "something you wouldn't expect". Frog in a cravat? check.
Two more in the works- we're just debating between bugs and other critters.

John Adams

Just something I whipped up

Dark Garden started hosting a monthly tea service at Wicked Grounds here in San Francisco. This event is an opportunity to wear your corset and have a fabulous, low key evening. Board games, great treats, and awesome company.

Just some presidents

Next up: John Adams!

Fairy!

This was the first concept in a series of illustrations done for a dance instructor at my gym. She was upset at the lack of positive dark skinned fairy imagery, and wanted to create something she could see in sticker form at events. I pulled this together in about 6 hours.

Animation test- after effects

quick test done for a project in the works.
This animation won't be used in the final piece, just as a test to see how well the character animates.

Hey all,

Since I last posted, I've made a few fun changes in my daily life.

I'm currently working at an illustrator/animator over at 129films.com. Most recently, I've worked on projects for Kingston Technology, Ticket Derby, Choice Logistics, Sugar Sync, and a ton more.
Follow the link above to check out some of our motion pieces.

As for personal art, I've posted a few of my current and past projects at
Deviant Art


I'm still plugging away on my animation, and will be posting that soon.

Take care,

Margot

Always busybusybusy

What HAVEN'T I been up to since I last posted?
Well, making a living, really.

I'm currently working on two projects(outside of my 3 jobs)-

First, the group project:

CYLOMAINX: abandoned by the gods.
A 3d feature animation project that we're looking to create a good production process for, create a short promo for it by February to pitch at a conference. It's great stuff! Check it out at:
www.margotcannon.con/cylomainx/splash.htm
Eventually, I'll change that to an actual web hosting, but hey, it's a start. We've currently posted a few of our art director (Anton)-'s amazing sketches. More work will be added on Saturday at our weekly production meeting. Stay tuned to our production at:
cylomainx.blogspot.com

My personal project:
Perhaps you've seen that series of zombies I did earlier in these posts? Well, it's turned into:
ZOMBERELLA
An elementry aged zombie having trouble fitting in. Join her adventures through FriendshipClub(tm), troubles with the Popular Kids, Pet adventures and homework!
This is a flash animation project, and I'll be posting it in bits and pieces as it comes into being. Please send feedback, love, hate, etcetc to let me know what you think!
<3, Margot

Mask and Matching Corset

Originally uploaded by margotelyse

A quick sketch of a mask design I'm creating to match my Dark Garden corset.
The mask base will be light-weight plaster strips sealed and hand-covered in fabric/lace. Feathers will be interfaced into the plaster and sealed in with a resin and covered with black poplin. the mask will be held on by two options:
removable elastic band which goes around the back of the head.
or can be held with a (again, removable) black stick.
the feathers will be a variety of dark blue and silver feathers. Silver glitter dust will be added sparingly to add a metallic sparkle to small sections of the feathers.

Sometimes it's good to stop..

and smell the cabbage.

Yes, I realize this is just getting obscene.

BLOOG!...I mean BLOOOOD!

Brains!

More IP shots!


hm.. I think her mouth needs to be bigger. and her far cheek needs to have a smaller green dot..
and she definitely needs to cat a dark shadow. and brains/gooey intestines, etc should be coming out of her lunchbox.. maybe an arm..
*heads back at it, humming 'Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts..'&
