Winning Entry: The Wind Waker HD Nintendo of America Fan Art Contest

I won!!! I won the top 5 grand prize for the Wind Waker HD Fan Art contest held by Nintendo of America!

Along with a Wii U and the Wind Waker HD, I will have my animation shown at the Symphony tour in Seattle during concert and in the lobby hall… which is of course amazing. But I’m honestly so honored. Maybe I’m going nuts with my feelings towards this game, but I can’t help it. I just love it.

I only wish that every fan art submission for this contest could get the recognition they deserve. There is so much fantastic work… congratulations to all of them!

The Lost Song - Now in app stores!

Hey guys!

What a neat feeling. The first professional project I ever worked on is out! The interactive children's book "The Lost Song" by Daedalic Entertainment is now in Apple and Windows app stores. I was in charge of background painting and character designing as well as working together with everyone to achieve the right animations and feel of the book. Lots of fun times were had and I really enjoyed working together with Yury Schicker and Karen Agerbo Bennetzen (who also worked on the viral animated short "The Reward").

It has lots of animations, puzzles (natural for Ravensburger) and comes in 5 different languages for all you language savvy people out there! German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. So spread it around, Daedalic makes great stuff and it needs to be heard.

 I'll be posting some artwork I did in it shortly as well as more work in the future as I try to push my work and also expand my markets. You may also see me at some conventions soon. : ) Stay tuned!

Proost,
Amanda

Night Cellist - Development

Some image assets and storyboards for my "Night Cellist" animation in after effects. I wanted to take a pre-existing illustration of mine and try and make it into an animation. Granted, it was my first try at after effets and I learned a lot - hopefully I can keep working with animation and illustration like this in the future!
