I UPLOADED ANIMATION ON MY WEBSITE

http://www.cyndiadesigns.com/blog.html

I created it in Flash ad when I exported it to a movie it would not export all the Actionscript along with it. Also the .gif was all pixelated...what a mess. But I spent so time on it, so please let me know what you think..

Shadow

2011-06-07T19:11:00.001-07:00

Here is my submission for shadow. I am still trying to create the same character as "asleep", "drenched" and Arobat. She seems to be improving so I need to go back and fix the previous characters. Do you run into this problem when you illustrate a character in a book?

Asleep

2011-05-29T20:49:00.000-07:00

Here is my illustration for asleep. I am trying to stick to the same character as "Acrobat" that I did in the past, and "Soaked." Next thing I have in mind is to draw the same character with a winter and summer costumes. Right now she is just dreaming of becoming an Acrobat...

Soaked

Here is my vision for soaked...another splash seen. I decided to make a summer version of the character I drew for "Acrobat." I still have that posted under "older post" catagorie. Thanks for your input:)

I decided to draw a little cute bear cub on his first fishing trip. I challenge myself on this one. It is not complete yet, but ready enough to submit. I would love to hear your comments. Thanks

A girl with a gothic rag doll...I am sure it will appeal to teenagers.

Well I tried a different style of illustrating for this project. I became inspired when I saw the new Prince William and Kate comic on TV and thought...hey I can do that. I really enjoyed this style, and I think I will play around with it a little more. Only if I can do this for a living...

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Layers

2011-02-21T17:31:00.001-08:00

Decided to get creative with this one by useing a bunch of "layers" in photoshop. What do you think? Is it to busy? Look foward to comments...

Layers

I built this frog in photoshop many, many years ago, which I built it in a bunch of layers. I approach my drawings differently now, but when I saw todays subject this is the first thing that came to mind. I haven't posted anything lately and I might come up with something else later.

Looks kind of choppy on the video so here it is in print.

Burning

Hey who say dragons can't get cold! Good reason to "burn" a fire.

Spent

2010-10-30T16:06:00.001-07:00

Spent alot of time an the internet site, where a person will post a project and I would compete against others to win the cash reward...such a rollercoaster of emotions. I seem my design scored from a "5" (highest) to a 4 , then 3. I have another design on the same site which took hours! I don't know if it won yet. I don't even know if the one I am posting today won yet... Did any one else try out these sites? Did you have any luck?

Here is my Illustration or the week. Please leave your comments, love the here from you!

Acrobat

2010-09-21T17:16:00.000-07:00

I decided to add a little swist to my acrobat illustration, and that is "Fall". Get ready folks it is knocking at our door. I don't mind though, I love all the warm colors it provides. enjoy cyndia

Dairy

This took too long......

Ripple

2010-06-13T08:45:00.001-07:00

I don't live near the ocean, but it breaks my heart watching the news. I feel sorry for all the animal struggling to stay alive.
I recently watched how all the pelicans nest site is being effected. How can you help them clean up when they are nesting? There is no way. So the mother sits there, keeping the egg warm, until it hatches...but does the mother survive????

Awake

Something quick and simple. Only if I could look so bright and cheerful when I wake up.

FEARLESS

2010-05-12T18:46:00.000-07:00

Fearless of the unknown...I started a new job this week. Fearless has a new meaning to me. The unknown creates a lot of stress. Not knowing how I would be able to cope with my new surroundings and the new people I'm around.

So the meaning of my illustration is surrendering to the unknown. Let my creativity take control, and just go for the ride. To be fearless!

Cocoon

2010-05-01T19:53:00.001-07:00

Where do fairies come from, maybe a cocoon? I quess it is up to the creator...

I created this for some other purpose, but thought the illustration goes well with the word of the week.

Dip

2010-04-07T06:41:00.001-07:00

Decided to play in Illustrator and create an electronic fairy with her strawberry dipped in chocolate.
