“ Happy MH Monday!! It’s Casta Fierce this week casting her spell on the music charts! Casta’s dress started off a bit different. I was asked to make a giant skirt (even though it wasn’t the look I wanted for her) so I did, but when we got costs in it was so expensive so we could only afford one layer of tulle… and it didn’t look great. So I lengthened her dress and took the same amount of tulle fabric and folded it upon itself two layers to create a new look (that was also closer to my initial idea!). I love her broom/microphone stand that she can fly around on while she performs. I am also proud of her shoulder cage spikes! It was a bit of a challenge to design and make it fit her right. She was also meant to celebrate Halloween hence the orange and black with purple (the main color of her magic). I love posing her in different performance poses on my shelf! I also love that she conjures up her band The Spells when it’s time to perform! Fun Fact : her name was just going to be Casta, but it didn’t clear trademarks by itself so she got a last name Fierce and I think it suits her well! It was also fun to finally introduce a Witch and an official character (outside of Create-A-Monster). “ - Garrett Sander

I have been writing a digital dream journal since 2017, I thought it’s time to share some of the more interesting snippets from it with illustrations, I’m currently trying to turn them into vectors and add color to them, so until then here’s our first entry:

2/28

I had a dream where I was walking inside an antique library at night with nothing but moonlight form the windows to light the room, suddenly in approached by a hulking hunchbacked creature in ratty black overcoat that went down to the floor and hid its legs, hands hidden in its long sleeves.

It had a white head like that of a Ancient Greek stone statue, complete with blank eyes and thick petrified hair topped with a black hop hat. It talked to me in a calm voice with unmoving stone lips, it moved along side me like it was gliding on ice instead of walking. I wanted to get away from it but i was being lulled by its friendly nature. When suddenly it took its face off like a mask revealing mouth with two sets of jaws like a shark, and from its sleeves and under its billowing cloak thick slimy tentacles emerged ready to grab me and bringing me straight to its mouth, I ran away with it chasing after me, faster than it originally appeared to be, then that dream ended.

Is This Really All That’s Left of American Dog?

From Disney’s original American Dog press release:

“Henry, a famous TV dog, finds himself stranded in the Nevada desert. Out in the world for the first time, Henry’s tidy life of scripted triumphs has come to an end, and his 2,000 mile trek through the real world is just the beginning.”

Sounds familiar, eh? Well, there’s a reason for that. American Dog was supposed to be director Chris Sanders’ follow-up to Lilo & Stitch. Like Lilo & Stitch, American Dog was a story that originated with Sanders, starring characters created by Sanders, and featuring Sanders’ unique blend of quirky comedy and heartfelt emotion. Then John Lasseter took over Disney Animation, deemed the work in progress “too quirky for its own good,” and fired Sanders from the film.

And what did Lasseter give us instead? American Dog: Neutered (a.k.a. Bolt).

With Lilo & Stitch, Chris Sanders established himself as a truly unique talent and animation auteur. His volatile yet vulnerable characters were unlike anything that Disney had produced before, yet they became instant, according-to-Maltin classics. By using his own artistic idiosyncrasies (thick, squat shapes; widely spaced eyes; curvy everything; etc.) as the basis for Lilo & Stitch’s characters and environments, Sanders launched an art style that is still being referenced today. Along with co-director, Dean DeBlois, Sanders also found the secret formula for combining broad comedy with subtle drama in a manner that actually enhanced the seemingly disparate elements.

Whether or not Bolt was able to accomplish any of these things…well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

American Dog, according to those lucky folks who glimpsed it at the 2005 Siggraph show, not only possessed all of Lilo & Stitch’s warmth and humor, it was also set to be a game-changer in regards to how CGI was used in animation. Gone were the cold colors and hard shapes made popular by Pixar. In their place was a deep, rich color palate, more of that patented Sanders-roundness, and an almost painterly look to the backgrounds.

(You really don’t need me to compare this to Bolt’s by-the-book look, do you?)

While I genuinely love How To Train Your Dragon and really liked The Croods, I can’t help but feel a little saddened that Chris Sanders has yet to release another film conceived solely in his cranium. The man’s mind is a whacked-out wonderland full of fuzzy creatures and curvaceous girls. I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to see lots more of it on the silver screen before I die of an ice cream-related illness.

Until then, we have these pieces of production art from American Dog to ponder over. While it sucks to know that the film will never be made, there’s no denying these images’ wit and beauty. Enjoy!

because someone needs to show these cowards what a real monster girl (and a real teenage girl) looks like

xmissxmangax:

(still not the final version, some parts (like ghoulia) are still a bit sketchy ect)
(also don’t you just love it how tumblr ruins the quality of my drawings)

THE FIRST VERSION OF MY REDESIIIGNSS.

WHAT DO YALL THINK OF LAGOONA.
i think she looks majestic lol.

Funfact i’ll always prefer the preboot designs way over anything i’ll ever produce.

But in my ‘reboot’ i wanted to focus more on like making them more modern i guess? more 2018-ish?
So i tried to base their clothing more on their personality+trends i found on the internet.

Maybe this just means im more of a 2010 person then a 2018 person hahah.

Feedback? suggestions? 
Who should i do next?

BUT FOR NOW: MY FINAL EXAMS

xmissxmangax:

part 1 

Feedbacks welcome, I just winged it basically.
I actually want to try make my redesings make even more ‘monstery’, so i guess i could change some up from the first one (like making clawdeen more like how I made howleen (although it might be a fun ‘detail’ that Clawdeen shaves her legs and howleen doesnt (yet) lol idk)).

tbh not really happy with these, theyre kinda bland in my opinion. Like is said: feedback, if anyone has some ideas? hit me.

I do like my boii’s jackson and holt though.
Theyre still and will always be best boy in my opinion.

(Also for heath i tried to go with the ‘tries way too hard to be cool’-look idk if it worked out I just wanted to add that to my paragraph of bullcrap haha)

Anyway hope you enjoy, what characters should i try next?
