While I still have this fresh in my memory;

At Anime Detour this year I got asked to be on a panel with the amazing ~LannySu and talk about being a professional artist. I say the term 'professional' loosely since I still don't consider myself there yet. Lack of discipline has yet to let me submit to any companies XD;;;. I rambled about my few experiences and I was really glad what I ranted about helped. It was kinda... exciting and overwhelming to witness people hanging onto my every word. We talked about the importance of having a portfolio featuring your BEST work and I realized I actually don't really have one! At least not since college. So I came home that night and made some quick mock ups of what I'd probably do with mine. Most of this work was done within the last year and one of them further back I think... I updated them all though to match my current style. I'll probably use these in my print book at cons from now on too.

-------------

These are pages to my online (soon to be print) comic Fungus Grotto. [link] . The last two have never been shown so WHOOT. Sneek peeks! These probably aren't the BEST examples of my sequentials but I like them most. They show my ability to do outside areas (as in backgrounds) and various lighting and special FX. You should know it took me forever to make that ice look like ICE. Not like anime ice/water but real glacier ice that looks like you'll freeze to death just touching it. This all work done in the last three months.

-------------

Anyway, I hope this helps to give an idea of what a portfolio could look like. I don't think there's any REAL rules outside of show a wide range of styles/work and use work that's most up to date and you best.

Darlin' honestly, you so deserve to have people hanging there :] You have always been a GIGANTIC inspiration for me since I first stumbled upon your website, and freaked out to the maximum when I first met you at ACEN 2007 (I believe?)

Your portfolio pages are beautiful!

:]

I cannot wait for the Grotto to be printed! :D
