this time we'll leave this town

Ahoy! Long time no see.
I mailed in my Sheridan animation portfolio today, so hopefully it survives the trip across the Pacific and then some. I'm still super nervous but I've accepted that it's okay if I don't get in - I'll post my full portfolio and the score sheet when I receive it within the next few months! Also submitted my CalArts portfolio a while ago but my hopes are mostly riding on Canada.

Other updates: I graduated from BBiomed last December, so I guess I now have that under my belt.

Aannnd I finally updated my website domain! I've refreshed the design a bit but hopefully I'll be doing a full revamp soon. See here! -> anneliesemak.com

And of course since it's been so long, here's a ridiculous amount of sketches... sorry hahah.

 

  

 

    

  

     

 

with the plainest clarity

...gonna skip the usual apology spiel this time, I think it just goes without saying? Things have been slow lately but it occurs to me that college application deadlines are super close and I'm freaking out a little - I have a few other things but they're directly going into my portfolio(s) so I'll post those when I get the results! (hahah ha ha..)
Just a bunch of sketches (including some studies from the local children's farm), commissions and two illustrations I did for my university's student newspaper

[edit 15.05.2013; I'm currently really bogged down by uni work and haven't had the time to update this! I do post fairly regularly on Tumblr, though due to lack of time I don't have a whole lot to show haha. Hopefully in a few weeks when the semester is over I'll be back here!]

So about that huge hiatus... I'm back from Montreal after my semester of exchange to McGill (and missing it like crazy). So I apologise for this relatively massive post. Apart from that.. I guess I also turned 20 today; I'm not sure how I feel about it because I hoped to be better at art by now buuut then I suppose it's an extra kick to really get my game on this year
I did manage to go to the Open Houses/portfolio reviews at Sheridan and Concordia for their animation programs; I know this place is kinda dead and I do have a list of pros/cons for both institutes but if anyone passing by has any info on either, that'd be great. :) Especially stuff about living in Oakville haha (though ideally I could speak French and apply for Cegep du Vieux Montreal sigh). Anyway, à bientôt!
