Moving to another site :,(

Hey there friends!

I just want to thank all of you for being awesome and visiting my blogspot! Because of you guys, I now know someone out there in the real world actually likes my stuff! I am extremely thankful for the amount of support and fans I've gained since I've started posting my art publicly. Unfortunately I will no longer post my work here on blogspot but I will be posting new works to my art tumblr from now on. What's even more exciting is that I will be working on animations this year as well!! So be on the lookout for those!

I also have a new website for portfolio purposes at katfajardo.com if you want to check that out as well.

Thanks guys! It's been fun. And I will be seeing you at Tumblr!

xoxo,
Kat!

Summer bummer sketches


While I was taking summer courses and fighting depression, I used up 2/3 of my sketchbook filled with stuff I drew so far during my summer vacation! Unfortunately it's filled with concept drawings for recent projects (working on character designs for Kail's upcoming animation and a creepy comic for The House of 7 Heads). So I can't really show you anything just yet. I do have other sketchies to show yalls:


concepts for monster design line or something. tba soonz




And if you ever were curious about my thumbnails/concept process (haha):







Also some news: 

So to those of you who follow my tumblr, I announced back in May that I was starting a webcomic called Theatre Bizarre. Unfortunately, due to working on the two major projects and taking classes, I'm planning to postpone it until the fall. It'll give me time to work on the storyline a bit more since I didn't feel comfortable posting a comic with half assed storyline.


So far the concept of the story is about an female explorer named Alex whose spaceship crashes onto a deserted planet, and finds a mysterious old theatre. As she enters the theatre, she finds herself trapped and meets others in the same situation. Together, they must get along and try to find ways to escape. Unfortunately for them, finding the exit isn't quite easy; there are about a thousand theatre doors that lead to some trouble or another (some lead to another dimensions, while others lead to a plain old theatre room. They never know what to expect from these rooms). 

Our main characters Alexandria (Alex), her brother simon, and their new friend Seek (a rejected Seek doodle right above him)


The whole point of Theatre Bizarre is treating it like it's a show, every "episode" or chapter is an adventure our main characters must take in a different theatre rooms. It's gunna be great. I'm already seeing the episodes playing in my head. I must admit that watching Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Twilight Zone over the years will definitely influence the series.

ok. going back to work now. byez.

Fan Art Friday

 



(quick doodle of cool guys Rigby & Mordecai from Regular Show!)


Also! I've been trying to read more comics lately and  fortunately I came across a really wonderful manga called Fuan No Tane (Seeds of Anxiety). It's a collection of short and surreal horror stories by Nakayama Masaaki that has inspired me to make a collection of the same nature as well (I'd probably leave that project for the summer). 


It's a fun read and not for the faint hearted. I think it's actually affected me on some psychological level already (as I write all this down I keep feeling someone is standing behind me. creepy!)

Enjoy!

Thesis project update

So I should really start updating this puppy. Been busy working on my thesis for school (a 21 page comic based on The Island of Dr. Moreau by the great H.G. Wells). I'm actually really excited for the end results! However, they still need to be uber changed and edited, so I'm just going to show off some bits of it!

this was the 1st version of the cover


these are my favorite pages!


and these were the model sheets for Dr. Moreau, Prendick, and the hyena swine. 




I hope ya guys liked it! And now I must go work some more! 
(also, please pardon the appearance of my website kittensforlunch.com, I gotta edit it once I get the free time. In the meantime, I updated some comics if ya wanna check it out! [link])
